Television's Senior Moment

BOOMER
As televison audiences are getting older the characters are too.  Traditionally operating on a currency of youth, the television industry seems to be giving more lead role to actors in their 60s.  Networks want to charge advertisers more to reach the baby-boomer generation through retooling boomer classics such as Hawaii Five-0.  Personally, I believe boomers watch much more television than the younger generation.  Still, most marketers prefer young consumers, whose buying prefernces can make a product catch on with older consumers.
