Yes, it's Carl!

CARL THE COLLECTOR is a show about empathy and compassion. Through its stories, the series celebrates the many different ways kids think and express themselves, while helping them explore how to participate in their communities.

Series Overview

Target Age Group: 4-8

The new PBS KIDS® animated series CARL THE COLLECTOR follows Carl, a warm-hearted raccoon who loves collecting things. The show breaks new ground as the first PBS KIDS series to feature central characters on the autism spectrum. Carl’s attention to detail, distinctive way of looking at the world, and extensive collections help him solve problems around Fuzzytown with his friends, Sheldon, Lotta, Nico, Arugula and Forrest. His best friend Sheldon is a beaver with a knack for looking out for the underdog. Lotta the fox is a quiet, self-assured musician who, like Carl, is autistic. Nico and Arugula are twin bunny sisters with opposite approaches to obstacles and opportunities. And Forrest, a hyperactive squirrel with a tree nut allergy, is always up for an adventure. The series will debut in both English and Spanish.

Watch Carl the Collector on WGVU HD Mon-Sun at 8:30am and on 24/7 Mon-Sun at 11am.
