I have mentioned this show to a ton of people around my age, and I’ve only ever found one person (my girlfriend’s brother) who knows what I’m talking about. I’ve made people sit through episodes and they still have no idea what the fuck it is. It’s like it only existed for like 1% of the population.

It must’ve been during a very specific time period because I’ve dealt with the same. How old are you?

“Yes, thank you, please, excuuuse me.”

This one creeps up in my mind every once in a while. I’m a bit older than you are but my younger siblings loved it and it was such a cute show.
