What? Weren't older millenials in their 20's when Blue's Clue's ended?

[–] ericisshort@lemmy.world 32 points 10 months ago (5 children)

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 11 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago) (2 children)

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 never made me catch up. The Simpsons seemingly won't die. I'd say Futurama but like, it keeps coming back with declining quality. I guess I can't choose?

What would yours be?

[–] ericisshort@lemmy.world 7 points 10 months ago

Steve wasn’t the finale of Blue’s Clues, so I don’t think it has to be a series finale. For me in the 90s, I can’t think of any tv shows that made me cry, but i can think of quite a few movies. Over all, My Girl is probably the only one that completely destroyed me emotionally.

[–] root_beer@midwest.social 1 points 10 months ago

I fell off from Friends and Frasier years before they ended, partially because I didn’t have time to watch tv at that point, but for Friends it was also because I just didn’t care anymore. Not sure whether I can really say I was representative of the Xennial demographic though. The finale of Roseanne, on the other hand, was the groaner of a punchline to the hack comedian’s joke that the final season was, so it certainly wasn’t iconic either.

That scene from Fresh Prince that you picked is a great one. I made another comment suggesting Atreyu trying to save Artax, and I suppose I should add the super dark finale of Dinosaurs. Otherwise I can’t think of much else; so many of the iconic characters I grew up watching wore out their welcomes because tv execs in the ‘90s somehow figured out how to suffocate the lightning they caught in a bottle.

Oh well, whatever, nevermind.

[–] HRDS_654@lemmy.world 2 points 10 months ago

Not like this.

[–] Xtallll@lemmy.blahaj.zone 5 points 10 months ago (1 children)

I was well into middle school when blues clues came out and graduated highschool when it ended.

[–] ericisshort@lemmy.world 2 points 10 months ago

Same. Are you from 82, 83, or 84?

[–] Chev@lemmy.world 1 points 10 months ago (1 children)

How do you know that his name is Steve if you never watched it?

[–] ericisshort@lemmy.world 2 points 10 months ago

He’s been a meme for over 20 years, and I’m a member of society.

[–] Corkyskog@sh.itjust.works 1 points 10 months ago

Gen what? Don't invoke the wrath.

[–] WorkIsSlow@lemmy.world 17 points 10 months ago (1 children)

And they were devastated by it.

[–] residentmarchant@lemmy.world 9 points 10 months ago (1 children)

And re-devestated (in an emotional way) when he told us he was proud of us!

[–] ElBarto@sh.itjust.works 5 points 10 months ago

I'm not gonna lie, that choked me up really good, I really needed that at the time.
