Hey, Mouseketeers, the third incarnation of the Mickey Mouse Club first aired on this day in 1989. This time, the Club aimed at a slightly older audience than its predecessors, so gone were the mouse ear hats of Mouseketeers past, and in were newer, hipper, trendier jackets. As the show continued, the audiences grew up with the cast, five of whom remained on the show from the first episode until the last one in 1994. In an attempt to stay relevant for the now older audience, there were no longer any references to Mickey Mouse, and the show spawned a new title, MMC. Many of the cast members went on to great success after the Club, including JC Chasez, Keri Russell, Christina Aguilera, Justin Timberlake, Britney Spears, and Ryan Gosling.
