DS Milestone: an afternoon soap opera that prompted kids and teenagers to run home from school at breakneck speed to catch an episode (up to that point, most daytime programming was watched by and primarily geared toward women over 18).
Another milestone was the phenomenon of the DS stars being featured in teen magazines like "16", "Tiger Beat", "Fave" - once exclusive to teen idols and rock groups. Suddenly, there was forty-ish Jonathan Frid and Grayson Hall gracing the pages of "16 Magazine" with the likes of The Monkees, The Mod Squad, and Bobby Sherman.
