There are exceptions here and there, but they are just that...exceptions. Boomers are only complaining now b/c, well, they're old. Pop culture always has revolved around a younger demographic.<BR/><BR/>Besides if there were actually a giant pent-up demand for shows featuring people over 50, they'd probably be on the air. Instead, the only one around just ended. <BR/><BR/>Perhaps it has to do with old people all being asleep by prime time?<BR/><BR/>/snarkJoehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15490160745469826370noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27899397.post-49436027505167974972008-12-03T16:38:00.000-05:002008-12-03T16:38:00.000-05:00Aren't Lost, Pushing Daisies (RIP), and Chuck all ...Aren't Lost, Pushing Daisies (RIP), and Chuck all on network tv?Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11065709214995132735noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27899397.post-38073960884599061972008-12-03T16:07:00.000-05:002008-12-03T16:07:00.000-05:00Reality shows are eating up the air-waves because ...Reality shows are eating up the air-waves because old people ARE watching them.<BR/>My in-laws, and my parents, and grandparents all watch those shows.<BR/>There are some gems out there like Burn Notice, Chuck, Lost, Pushing Daisies -- but those kinds of shows don't have enough people watch them to get them on network tv.Philhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01416362323637480724noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27899397.post-34538448014118536802008-12-02T17:17:00.000-05:002008-12-02T17:17:00.000-05:00Golden Girls FTW!!Seriously, they don't make 'em l...Golden Girls FTW!!<BR/><BR/>Seriously, they don't make 'em like that anymore.Carolinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03864615229875308033noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27899397.post-48345230343169556612008-12-02T16:19:00.000-05:002008-12-02T16:19:00.000-05:00I pretty much stopped watching Boston Legal when t...I pretty much stopped watching Boston Legal when the series shifted from being funny with an occasional serious message to being crusadingly serious with funny bits thrown in randomly. <BR/><BR/>But I might just go watch last night's episode.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27899397.post-14685995809682663352008-12-02T15:30:00.000-05:002008-12-02T15:30:00.000-05:00But why watch a bunch of geriatrics hobble around ...But why watch a bunch of geriatrics hobble around when it is so much more interesting to watch who can be molded into the next american pop star, who can answer trivia questions better than a fifth grader that is given the answers to non-5th grade questions, or a competition to see who a washed up pseudo-celebrity wants to sleep with or become friends with?Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11065709214995132735noreply@blogger.com
