For five years, Mike Rugnetta has espoused pop culture philosophy on the PBS Idea Channel, a hub fostered by PBS Digital Studios. Now, after more than 350 episodes, the Idea Channel is getting ready to put forth its final posit. Rugnetta has announced the next five episodes of his show will be its last, with the final one currently expected to arrive sometime around September 4.
Idea Channel, which launched in 2012, gained a considerable following thanks to Rugnetta’s complex-yet-digestible theories, his friendly and open rapport with his fans, and his penchant to take on hot topics like bronies and Adventure Time. Over the Idea Channel’s run, it picked up more than 765,000 subscribers and earned more than 61 million views, but it will only accrue a few more stats before it closes up shop.
As Rugnetta explained, the decision to shut down Idea Channel was his, and it was “not something I came to quickly or lightly.

Clear a path, people, because there’s a new meme in town. The Verge calls them “technical memes,” while Know Your Meme dubs the new phenomenon a “word replacement remix.” Basically, you take a piece of existing art (Bee Movie, for example), then alter it somehow based off a particular word or trigger. There’s YouTube user Avoid At All Costs’ “The entire bee movie but every time they say bee it gets faster,” which is self-explanatory. There’s also That One Ghost Named Asdfghjkl’s “The Bee Movie But Without Bees,” which is also self-explanatory. Now, Idea Channel has given us the epitome of all Bee Movie memes with “The Bee Movie But Every Time They Say Bee We Explain The Deal With Bee Movie,” which is self-explanatory both in name and conception.
