Twitter rejoices as Show Grounded by PBS

Pebble, the long-running PBS Kids show, will no longer air on the channel in 2021. Although the PBS Kids Twitter page has published a guide with tips on how to break the news to children, most parents were more than happy to see the back of a show they had long complained about was teaching their kids bad habits.

One user summed up the general sentiment regarding the news when he wrote: “The first big win of 2021 is Pebble finally being canceled with his stupid, bald b ***** a ** self. “

Another, meanwhile, joked, “Don’t let silly distractions like Georgia and Dr Dre distract you from the fact that #Pebble was canceled today. 2021 is already proving to be the year we need, not the one we deserve. “

This user was not the only one to assimilate the news to the second round of the elections in Georgia. Another user tweeted: “Not only did Warnock win and Ossoff should win, but Pebble has also been canceled. 2021 = Progress. “

As is always the case with Twitter, users had the perfect meme for the occasion, with many users using the ‘evil is vanquished’ meme from the 2012 film. The cabin in the woods to express their feelings about the news.

The PBS show, which debuted in 2000, has long been a bugbear of parents who believe the show taught their kids to whine and be bratty. For example, writing on Common Sense Media’s parent review site, one parent wrote, “I work in a day care center and have witnessed the effect this show has on the kids. Every time during our 25 minute TV break a day, if this show was the kids obviously started acting like Caliou [sic] the second he left. I constantly have temper tantrums and complain about everything. I never even give it a chance with my kids at home. “

Parents weren’t the only ones who disliked Pebblehis behavior during his broadcast on PBS Kids. A viewer tweeted, “Pebble was a nightmare. I was a kid when this show started (like 6), and even I remember Pebble to be a massive kid … Lord. I still hear her little whiny cry for her parents. It haunts my dreams.

When Pebble started trending on Twitter, the social media page mistakenly tagged it as a new policy, which led to a slew of jokes of its own. For example, one user tweeted: “I don’t know what war crimes Pebble had to commit to being fashionable in politics, but whatever they were, I totally believe he did. “

It should be noted, however, that the reaction to Pebble the cancellation was not entirely negative. Some were sad that a show they had loved all their childhood was over – although luckily no one had a Caillou-like temper tantrum at the news.
