TV Viewers
Are Geezerly!!

I am – Hercules!!


The kids today so busy with their Macs and Blackberries and Wiis and getting pregnant that the average "live" broadcast viewer is now older than the key 18-49 demo, according to a story in Monday morning’s Variety.

I found interesting which network shows averaged the oldest and youngest viewers this season:

The CW
Youngest: One Tree Hill (26)
Oldest: Life Is Wild (45)

Fox
Youngest (tie): American Dad; Family Guy (29)
Oldest: Canterbury’s Law (55)

ABC
Youngest: Supernanny (31)
Oldest: Women’s Murder Club (57)

NBC
Youngest: Scrubs (34)
Oldest: Monk (58)

CBS
Youngest (tie): Big Brother; How I Met Your Mother; Kid Nation (45).
Oldest: 60 Minutes (60)

Find all of Variety’s story on the matter here.
