Too Old For New TV Season?

I've discovered why the Nielson Ratings and advertisers downplay the TV viewership of baby boomer and up viewers -- I'm too old for new TV shows. 

 Hey, I like the standards such as CSI, CSI: NY and CSI: Miami (I'd watch a CSI Topeka if they had one) plus NCIS and its fraternal twin NCIS LA (what's with the initials?) , The Mentalist, Bones, Chuck and several others. But I've never gotten the humor of The Office, Parks and Recreation or anything produced by Rickey Gervais. The Simpson yes, Bob's Burgers no.

One new show -- Up All Night -- got cut off after the second commercial. It had believable, likeable characters but it wasn't funny. 

Could it be that it was about the plight of new parents dealing with an infant? We've just visited with our children and their new babies and they were a lot more fun and funny despite the crying and interrupted sleep.

Being boomers approaching retirement age, our lives no longer revolve around the party scene, drinking, dating and struggling job prospects. We should be able to relate since we have been through this, but perhaps we've figured out that part of life and the humor is lacking. 

Of course, if the Progressive's Economic downturn continues then no one will be able to relate to workplace humor, being unemployed; new houses and cars, because they can't afford them; or even college shows as parents won’t be able to afford to send their kids on to higher education. 

Look for a new season of shows such as The Unemployment Line, Living with Mom and Dad (wait, that was the premise of S*** My Dad Says) and  Moving On Down (a Jefferson's spin off for the millennium generation). 

Nope, still doesn't sound funny.
