It was something very "un-PC" like "I love you, you love me, homo-sex-u-al-ity.... Anyway, I never could take that show seriously, but I was like 11 or so when it came out and I think it was made for younger kids.

I live in Tampa, Fl, and it seems that the vast majority of the Millie parents are Gen Xers and the Gen Xers parents are Baby Boomer. The new generation being born are children of people my age. I am currently living with a women my age, born in 1985, and she has two kids of her own from a 1979 born Gen Xer. Again, Florida is known to be very backwards in many regards, so I guess in a more modern city, things are a bit different. I guess it depends on location.

Most Gen X'ers think Barney is idiotic, an attitude I heard often from my peers. So, yes, some Millies did not watch Barney (either too early or too late), but many did. @joe – I agree that some Millies did not watch Barney, but it is certain that Gen X'ers (born 1961-1981) did not AT ALL.

I know for a fact that the earliest Millies born 1981-1986 didn't watch Barney as a child. I think the ones you are referring to are those are in the core of the generation. This isn't right.

And, I'm nervously laughing about the embarassment. You are the only man I know brave enough to blog about American Girl, Barney and High School Musical in the same millennium. hahahaha. Of course, this makes you very secure in your manhood, and be careful, your branding my change from Gen X to hot daddy blogger. Those Barney lyrics are unbelievable. I never caught that. I love the original commentary on your blog, and will stumble this post. Spot on, Dave. And, I'm nervously laughing about the embarassment.
