Calliou & Mr. Hinkle

Today, while watching PBS with a couple of preschool aged friends, I caught an episode of Calliou. I've included a summary of the episode I found online to bring you up to speed:

"Get Well Mr. Hinkle" Episode Summary (http://www.tv.com/caillou/all-around-the-block!/episode/212711/summary.html?tag=blackout#)

Caillou is in the living room, playing with Rexy, when the mail comes. He gets the mail from the mailman and then takes it to Daddy. He asks if there's anything for him, but Daddy says that there isn't. He does, however, point out a catalogue that was actually supposed to go to Mr. Hinkle. He asks Caillou to deliver it to Mr. Hinkle. Caillou gets into it and has Daddy dress him up as mailman. He and Daddy then take the catalogue to Mr. Hinkle, who shows him that he's already received a copy of that particular catalogue. So he lets Caillou keep it. Back at home, Caillou notes that Mr. Hinkle still had his pajamas on. Daddy thinks that maybe Mr. Hinkle wasn't feeling well. So Caillou and Daddy put together a get-well package for Mr. Hinkle, with a card and flowers in vase which Caillou paints himself. They take it all to Mr. Hinkle, who is happy to receive it. He notices that the card features a bluebird, which is appropriate because he just got a new birdhouse. He asks Caillou to come back tomorrow and he'll show it to him.

First of all, replace all the word "Daddy"with "Mommy" because that was what I saw in the episode, at least what I think I saw...but that is a moot point.

My real concern is the way they automatically insinuate Mr. Hinkle is ill just because he answered the door in pajamas. If he was really ill why would he have answered the door at all? I mean come on, is it illegal to answer the door in your PJ's? For crying out loud, maybe Mr. Hinkle is having a bad day, maybe he's suffering from depression, maybe he lost his job and doesn't have a reason to get dressed. Anyone ever think of that?

Just an unbiased observation.
