I was flipping the TV dial the other day in the hopes of finding a comedy show I could enjoy and relate to. No such luck on the networks I grew up with. I think Seinfeld was that last comedy that really spoke to the Boomer Generation (Jerry is in our camp having been born in 1954) as it reflected much of our daily lives. I still have friends who can, and do, quote every line from the shows, and love to say "yada, yada, yada" given the right opportunity.
But that show ended 14 years ago and since then the only good shows, comedy or otherwise at least for this Boomer, are found on cable and some basic channels like TNT and AMC. This is perplexing as the networks rely on advertisers for revenue. And who has more disposable income in this day and age then our generation? I don't care if the best product in the world has just hit the market, if it is advertised on such mindless shows as Don't Trust the B---- in Apartment 23 (the networks cannot even bring themselves to say "Bitch") I will never know about it.
