Most of those shows are CBS and aside from a couple shows like Big Bang Theory which brings in younger viewers I think the audience for CBS skews older than any of the other broadcast networks. My roommates are younger (late 20s) and they primarily watch shows from Fox and the CW. The CBS police procedurals seem very "old" to them. I only watch Big Bang Theory and The Blacklist from that list...and it's not like I'm a weekly viewer either, I tend to record several episodes and then binge watch.
Agreed!!! I dropped out of watching network television a few years. I was very surprised what was on that list! Sheesh. I'm definitely not missing much I'd say and I can't imagine where it's headed. Yuk!
I only watch 4 of those shows: Modern Family Family Guy Blacklist Once Upon a Time The only shows I really keep up with on the networks are: Modern Family Family Guy Blacklist Once Upon a Time Once Upon a Time in Wonderland Trophy Wife Arrow The Goldbergs
That's because the week of that particular list it was a repeat episode.

I based that on the 18-49 bracket that was said to be the category upon which that list above was compiled. Take a look. In reality, I should have made it the 50-81 bracket, to fit exactly, but hey, I'm old & decrepit; at my age two years goes by like nothin'.
Not criticizing you or anyone here. Just a little sensitive to that age bracket given that I just turned 5-0 a couple of months back!
None taken. Ah, those were the days. Enjoy them. I go in for an aortogram procedure tomorrow morning; something I never envisioned 20 years ago.
It was a funny sitcom when it first came on the air and its popularity now is largely due to being one of the few, remaining traditional sitcoms on the air. The ratings shot up after it hit syndication.
