It's not just reruns anymore!

Cable channel TVLand apparently wants to be the spot for 40 year olds on TV. They just unveiled a bunch of new shows they're working on targeted at that set.

40 seems to be cooler than it used to be. Some of our fave celebs are in their 40s…Brad Pitt, George Clooney, Tara Reid!

Here are some of the 'old' people shows you could see on TV Land:

First Love, Second Chance — gives long-lost sweethearts an opportunity to rekindle their romance — years later. Whether it is unrequited love or a relationship that ended badly, the couples decide if there's still a romantic link after all these years.

Now or Never — Empty nesters are given the chance of a lifetime to open a new chapter in their lives by pursuing careers that they always dreamed of…but never dared to pursue. In each installment, couples try out their dream jobs, a new place to live and a whole new social scene before making the gut-wrenching decision of which path to follow.

Make My Day – provides a window into one day in the life of an unsuspecting participant. Hidden cameras capture the action as contestants are put through a series of weird coincidences, extraordinary situations and surprise appearances.

What's In The Box? – TV Land's first game show in which individual contestants square off in the ultimate, fast-paced 20 question competition. Through a series of pointed yes or no answers to questions like "Does it move?" or "Is it man-made?," the players must figure out what's in the box without giving their opponent the upper-hand – all for a cash jackpot and a chance to win a fabulous grand prize. "

In addition to these pilots, the following is a list of premiere dates for other previously announced original programs.

The Big 4-0 – TV Land viewers are invited to celebrate the festivities surrounding one of life's major milestones – turning the Big 4-0. From bull-riding to sky-diving, "Big 4-0" gives a glimpse into the exhilaration of the quintessential events of those who are cart-wheeling into a new life-stage — their 40's. Premieres on April 16, 2008 at 10:00PM ET/PT.

She's Got The Look – For the first time, TV Land and acclaimed modeling powerhouse Wilhelmina team up to search the country to find the greatest undiscovered models age 35 and older. The aspirants will be flown to New York City to live in a house together where they will face various challenges such as photo shoots and tests on their fashion acumen. Eliminations will occur weekly until the ultimate winner is crowned. Fashion icon and supermodel Kim Alexis is the host. Celebrity stylist Robert Verdi, Wilhelmina president Sean Patterson, and supermodel Beverly Johnson are judges of this six-episode series. Premieres on June 4, 2008 at 10:00PM ET/PT.

Family Foreman – In this six episode series, TV Land gives viewers an intimate look at George Foreman, the former heavyweight boxing champ who reinvented himself as a successful businessman and pitchman. Viewers will get a rare glimpse into his home life as a minister and father to ten children, five of whom are also named George Edward Foreman. Premieres on July 16, 2008 at 10:00PM ET/PT.

Will you watch any of these shows? We're kinda digging the old people version of America's Next Top Model!

      I have an idea…I'm in my 40's and I've always thought it would be cool to have an American Idol show for people like me…you know…wannabe folk singers who sat in our bedrooms with our guitars singing Joni Mitchell and Leonard Cohen songs! Wouldn't that be fun???? If anyone asks me who Joni Mitchell is, I'LL KILL THEM!

      LOL, #12 (Lynne). I'm with ya. I'm in my low 40s and I think that would be great to have American Idol in our age group, kind of a second chance to jumpstart a career, kwim? Many of us are still young looking and feeling. Why the hell not??!

      tara reid was born in nov. 1975…shes flippin 32!

    36. Boo Ya says – reply to this


      36

      Perez is using SARCASM referencing Tara and 40.
      The other poster is right - she is 32-33 but looks 48!
      As for the old phart pictured above…..let's just say fatherhood has put him on the fast track to haggard, worn and old looking.
      He is 44 and looks 55.

    37. :( says – reply to this


      37

      dude, some of you need to take a joke (re: tara reid).

      also, i like tvland the way it is: old sitcoms. i'm sick of reality tv!!!!

    38. So if Tara is 40... says – reply to this


      38

      … that would make you at least 45, right Perez?!?

      Hey, we're all going to hit 40 sometime. Cheers to TVLand.

    41. Strathos says – reply to this


      41

      Perez, come on, don't add to the age discrimination in America. 40 is not old and when you're 40 you'll realize that. By setting a new example you could change things. All of you 20 year olds will be 30 before you know it and then 40, and you'll think how stupid you were for defining something as liquid as age.

      Wretched shit geared toward retarded 40 somethings.

    43. rob says – reply to this


      43

      Tara Reid might as well be 40. She gets bounced from clubs and was hot like 10 years ago. She is a old ugly hag whore.

    44. Annie Rexia says – reply to this


      44

      Really, Perez. You can really dish it out. Have you ever really looked in a mirror? You may not be 40 or over, but you look like shit. I can name about 10 people off the top of my head that I personally know that are over 40 and look better than you. I know a guy that is 55 that looks better than you. I know you won't be relevant when you turn 40, but it's going to happen to you anyway. Tip. Join a gym.

      45

      normally I wouldnt bother to post a response but its time for you to wake up and realize that the world doesnt revolve around those 25 and under any more.
      Boomers are much more powerful then any generation before with much more disposable income, whereas those 25 and under, this generation, for the most part, dont have 2 nickels to rub together and live in their parents homes still.
      No, you will see more and more of the world changing their way of doing things, such as catering to the young, when there are more Boomers than young kids for the first time in a very long time.

    46. sd-b says – reply to this


      46

      a very good example of what I said in the last post, will be seen with Canadas own Moses Znaimer who owned CITY TV, a tv station that was very cool and copied by many thoughout the United States and which had New Music and MUch Music, ( Canadas MTV )…….who has since gone on to buy another 'empire" of various media stations, catering to "Zoomers" those 40 and up.
      For those interested, do a Google search for "Zoomers create a new vision of aging"

      As if the rest of the TV channels aren't loaded with reality crapola! Now, TVLand won't be a source for what it was created for: Retro (Classic) TV. I would amillion times rather see JUne worrying about the Beaver and how Ward was rough the night before- than some whining bunch of 40-year-olds today. Blecccccccccccccch. taking TVLand off my remote's "favorites" now..
