From Alana – “Tween” TV programming – defined as that between kids and teenagers – when did that take off?

Mr. Pop History – Although it had been around, we first heard the “tween” label with the likes of the Disney Channel and Nickelodeon, around 2001. That’s when shows such as Disney’s “Lizzie McGuire” and Nick’s “Fairly Odd Parents” brought the genre out and it hasn’t been the same since.
