    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.

        Yeah I’m like older gen z and was huge into blues clues. Tons of people my age hate being identified with gen z tho because we grew up with DS lites not iPads lol.

      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.

      I’m a millennial but too old to have ever watched Blue’s Clues, so I couldn’t give two shits when Steve left.

      Also, it’s hilarious that this meme completely ignores Gen X.

      • lobut@lemmy.ca ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

        I’m an older millenial that identifies closer to Gen X. I think mine would be … Will Smith crying to Uncle Phil about his dad on Fresh Prince? That was pretty iconic. Wasn’t a good bye or finale one though.

        Seinfeld finale was kinda bleh. I skipped Roseanne, Friends and Frazier’s finales to be honest and the fact no one references them. Simpsons won’t die. I’d say Futurama but like, it keeps coming back with declining quality.

    I‘m a millennial but too old 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.

    source
    • pjwestin@lemmy.world ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

      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.

      source
    • deksesuma@lemmy.world ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

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

      Nah his biggest audience was FNAF kids.

      source
      • dual_sport_dork@lemmy.world ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

        Sounds about right.

        I believe FNAF getting mega-popular was the precise moment when the scales tipped for me and I officially became old. I looked at it, and I decided that it’s just dumb and I can’t comprehend why the kids these days are so into it. I mean, I know the real draw is watching streamers or whoever freak out at all the jump scares and act ridiculous. But that’s just a pastime that doesn’t appeal to me in any form whatsoever. Just, get that kind of thing off my lawn.

        I did watch a ton of Game Theories videos, though.

      I had the same exact thought, but I suppose a lot of people born after 1990 would have witnessed it or the rerun and maybe felt something would have witnessed it, but otherwise it was completely obscure. TBH I don’t really recall any of the shows from my childhood ending with a goodbye, I wasn’t all that fortunate to be worrying about those things.

      • linearchaos@lemmy.world ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

        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.
