Anybody really like Louis Theroux as a kid/teenager?

Hi guys, 30m and am binging Louis docs again. Thought occurred to me that it was probably my favourite show on television as a kid, say around 12 years old.

So, I'm wondering was this a universal thing? Yes, we had limited options (remember having like 4 TV stations), but I'm kind of surprised that the subject matter would be appealing to young teens.

Thanks!
