I see no mention of Teletubbies in the article. That would have warranted an interesting sentence or two.

Is that because they’re doing thier homework while I’m watching SpongeBob?

Caillou cancelled in early victory for 2021

Yep. I’m specifically thinking of an episode where the younger sister is teething. There was a study which purported to show that SpongeBob caused kids to be hyper and wound-up whereas Caillou had a calming effect. At the time, I thought, “yeah sure, but no one in my house overturned a bowl of food onto the floor after they watched SpongeBob.”
