    I’m to young for the first one but too old for the second one. I’m also used to society ignoring my generation so that’s fine.

        This. Our generation grew up on Reading Rainbow and the tail end of Mr. Rogers, not Blue’s Clues. Blue’s Clues is Gen Z fodder.

          Um, no? I was born in late 94 and was the prime audience for blue’s clues. I had so much blue’s clues merch as a tot. It was that and teletubbies. I would say the youngest millenials were probably a bit too young to have caught much of Mr Rogers (I didn’t) but that may be a case by case thing.

          That said, I do feel a lil disconnected from the rest of the millenial generation in what I remember from the 90s—as it’s basically nothing—and I often have to teach my '91 spouse and his similarly-aged friends about tech and current slang, but I’m still slightly to old to roll with gen z lol. Being a cusp gen baby is weird.

            Millennials are 1981 to 1996; you’re a very late millennial so it makes sense your experiences are more similar to Gen Z. I doubt many people only a couple years older than you watched Blue’s Clues.

      It was stupid to use a kids show as an example. That episode aired in 2002. Only a small slice of people born 1980 to 2000 would care.

      The other examples had an audience with a much wider age range.

      Not from USA. Well the last one I guess you could know as is from YouTube, that said I didn’t know who the guy was or is either.

      Honestly I haven’t seen any of that I know the rest because of reddit mentioning them in another moments. Again not from the US.

        I’m a millennial from the US and I’ve never seen even an episode of Blue’s Clues.

          It’s from Nickelodeon it seems so I guess you need to have the channel first and then watch it and watch it when they did it…

          I mean where I am from the private cable tv wasn’t as common so it was easier for people to see most of the stuff as all was free over the air tv, as long as you had a tv and antenna that’s it.

          On America it seems like it would be easier I guess for people not see certain things if they didn’t have cable or their didn’t have certain channel or similar.

        I wish I could claim I wasn’t from the US because its embarrassing to live here right now, but I am. Never watched a single episode of blues clues, it was popular when I was in high school.

    I‘m a millennial but too… old? Annoyed by it? to have watched blues clues other than by accident while playing Gameboy. According to Google it aired from 1996 to 2006 here, which means that I was ages 2 to 12. It was just too dumb for me. Matt Patt on the other hand, I watched it grow since its start in the golden era of YouTube, the. I stopped when the dark ages started at around 2017-ish. Now I‘m sad that I didn’t do anything good in my life until May of last year.

      You’re on the tail end of Millennial, and it definitely sounds like you were the target age for Blues Clues. I’m right in the middle of the Millennial years and I was 9 when that show came out, so I only know it as that thing my friend’s little brother watched. I have more feelings about MatPat leaving, even if I stopped watching years ago. Point is, I don’t think this meme is very accurate.

      Millennial is such a huge range anyway. In 1996 I was 12. There was no way I would have been watching Blue’s Clues.

      I was going to say I don’t really recognize any of them, although they’re vaguely familiar …. yes, forgotten again

        The only reason I knew it was M.A.S.H. was the font/color.

        In this case, I don’t feel too bad being missed. Keep your head down and stay out of the news :)

        That said, I watched Theorists with my tween. Kinda sad seeing MP go, but not as sad as MP was.

        I expect the channels will go tits up without his personality. The new hosts are pleasant but honestly unremarkable. The show was far less about the content and more of his performance. If you thought the idea was crap, you subliminally blamed it on him. There are plenty of other personalities out there doing what they’re doing and almost all of them go on unknown because they don’t have screen chemistry.

    *American

    Still watched and liked MASH in my country in 90s as a kid (although not my choice) enough to introduce my wife to it a year ago and she enjoyed it too, having never heard of it. No clue what the other 2 things even are.

      As a Gen Z, agreed.

      I’ve seen just about every episode because of my dad who loves it and the series finale is absolutely amazing.

    Only knew Film Theorists but didn’t really like them… but I’m sorry for everyone who misses them, I can imagine that it’s painful when someone you like stops producing such content.

    How fitting that he would steal his final act from another person
