Having to Explain Doogie

I was tutoring a 6th or 7th grader today, and made a reference to Doogie Howser. She stared blankly back at me. Man I'm getting old. But why is she taller than me?

Another thing that makes me feel old is when I drive down my street and see kids who were not even born when my family and I moved into this cul-de-sac neighborhood 15 years ago.

Ex-girlfriends getting married and having kids. Nothing makes me feel older than that.

Why is Doogie so universally known among our generation that you can just say Doogie and we know who you are talking about? Was the show that good (I have no memory of it other than the basic idea)? Or is the name just that silly?
