* The current crop of [[Disney Channel]] live-action original programming in general, most famously ''[[High School Musical]]'' and ''[[Hannah Montana]]''.
* ''The Lawrence Welk Show'', in the 1970's and since. It was enormously popular when it was new, in the 50's, but by the time it had lasted 20 years, the number of people in the [[Periphery Demographic|periphery demographics]] far outnumbered the people for whom it was originally intended.
** Even in [[The Fifties]], comedians like Sid Caesar and [[Allan Sherman]] mocked it as a [[Tastes Like Diabetes]] [[Reactionary Fantasy]]. The show [[Can't Get Away with Nuthin'|fervently denied anything remotely dark or risqué]]
* Elmo of [[Sesame Street]] has become less than popular to a large number of the show's longtime fans, mainly because the show's focus has somehow shifted onto him and less on the other muppets and characters. Unfortunately, the shift caused various groups of [[Fan Dumb]] to hate the show as a whole instead of just Elmo. Further made worse by Sesame Workshop deciding to assign a whole half hour of Sesame Street to the segment, ''Elmo's World'', and giving the segment the very signature of ''Barney & Friends'' and other [[Periphery Hatedom]] programs: A theme tune that rips off the tune of a public-domain song ("Jingle Bells") and is primarily about Elmo. Much of the intended demographic loved it, however.
** Children who have just outgrown ''[[Sesame Street]]'' have been known to hate the show and equate it to ''Barney'', due to their being too young to understand the show's honest efforts to educate children and [[Parental Bonus|keep their parents amused]].
