Do you know that ABC TV has decided that unless you are between the ages of 18-49, your opinion, your likes and dislikes of their shows, no longer matter! Now I am going to be 53 in November. That is hardly old and far from the door of death, so I would like to think that my interest in their programming might just be important.
Alas, it is not.
So, what have I done? I’ve started to watch shows on other channels that don’t just appeal to audiences my age, but celebrate middle age.
I watch just Two shows on ABC. I watch “The Middle” with Patricia Heaton and I have been watching “Pan Am” to see what that show is like. Mostly I think “Pan Am” is fluff, but I do want to give it a fair shake, due to my connections with the real Pan Am.
The other TV I watch at mostly seen on CBS. I love “NCIS“, with Mark Harmon, and I love “The Mentalist“, with Simon Baker, and “The Good Wife“, with Julianna Margulies. Oh yes, and “Mike & Molly” with Melissa McCarthy and Billy Gardell, and “The Big Bang Theory” with Johnny Galecki, Jim Parsons,
I simply refuse to watch ABC or give their sponsors my support. After all at my age, I am in the prime of my life, and one more reality game show is not what I want to watch. I want good stories and good acting.
Plus, I still resent their canceling “All My Children” for this new, feckless show “The Chew” So, CBS, Satellite TV and movie channels, here I’ve come!!!
Seems we watch almost the same shows. I love almost all half hour comedy´s and my favorite is The Good Wife too.
Love “The Big Bang Theory”!
That sucks! I watch TV and I should be counted. Actually they are wrong. I know a lot of young people who don’t watch a lot of TV. I miss All My Children. After 36 years I don’t matter anymore. I have taped that show forever. I will not watch the Chew and I hope it bombs!
