Actually the show was always meant for a young audience. He explained because the kids from the old generation grew up and that nowadays reality shows aren't big with the show's target audience as the show was never really late teens/20 sonething year olds like most of us on this wiki. I feel the reason is understandable, I don't think someone under the age of 12 nowadays would be all that interested binge watching TD, especially the early seasons.
