'Old' People TV
Filed under: TV News
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!

OBAMA AND HIS PASTOR HATE AMERICA… VOTE FOR HILLARY

tara reid is not 40! wtf?
too much 2 read lol
Who keeps saying this old fart is hot???? Is it the size of his wallet? must be, unless your over 40 like him then he's a score.
tara reid is 40?? no way!
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!
shes not 40!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
You DO know Tara Reid isn't in her 40's right???
you're going to have a great future, you shallow, ignorant queen.
tara reid is in her late 30s
yeah, "first love, second chance," "make my day," and "she's got the look" all actually sound really interesting…too bad i don't even know what channel tvland's on!
This one is for the Obama supporters, but even Perez would crack a smile
http://crazyforhillary.com
"NOW OR NEVER" is already a show on TLC called "THE SECRET LIFE OF A SOCCER MOM"!!!!!!!!!
Tara Reid is born November 8, 1975, so she is like 32. No way she´s over 40.
You for got about highschool reunion…they're not 40 yet, but close. God, I feel old.
That's pretty funny, Tara Reid is 33. She just looks 48.
tara reid is only 33
Perez, were you just being a smartass about Tara Reid? Poor thing.
This is too long and boring. I don't want to read it all.
Tara is not in her 40's you douche!! You look alot older than she does with that homeless bagman chipmunk look!! She was born in 1975!!
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??!
That "Make My Day" one sounds pretty interesting. I'd watch that, I'd also watch the older ladies ANTM show too.
Clearly he was joking about Tara Reid…I thought it was really funny!!!
Tara Reid is 32
God I hate that stupid hat almost as much an I hate him
you forgot to list their stupid High School Reunion show.
Tara is 32…
b. Nov. 1975
lMAO OLD PEOPLE TV WITH A BRAD PITT PIC. HAHA
Perez, you're not so far off from the big 4-0.
tara reid was born in nov. 1975…shes flippin 32!
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.
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!!!!
… that would make you at least 45, right Perez?!?
tara reid is in her 30's
Hey, we're all going to hit 40 sometime. Cheers to TVLand.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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"
she just is
Hep Perez, I'm sure all your 40-something readers let out a collective "gay-inhale" at the very thought of you including Tara Reid in their demographic. LOL
tara reid is only like 33 according to imdb. vote OBAMA 08. hillary is the devil

i want to see that 'make my day' show. anything involving making other people happy is entertainment to me.
I want to see a show about people with Alzheimers called "Where are my teeth?"
i think this a GREAT idea!!! this world is too obsessed with youth anyway. besides, the way the "youth" have been fucking up lately, this will be a breath of fresh air. LMAO at tara reid. she LOOKS like she's in her 40's!! LMAO!!
Who is Brad Pitt?
Who is Brad Pitt?
And why do I need to care?
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..
Oh man… I cant stop laughing… hahaha!!!! Tara Reid… hahaha… that was funny shit. Man… tough crowd hey, not everyone understands a joke, they just have to go investigate it and then come on here and post a comment like they have a point… ITS A JOKE PEOPLE… and a damn funny one too
Tara Reid is not in her 40's. Although, she does look like a 40 year old handbag sometimes…does this count??!! Oh Come on…she put herself out there.
God willing…..you will all be 40 some day…..hopefully a lot smarter than you all sound now.
Geez 40 isnt old anymore Perez!! Alot of us Old people dont look old!!!! one day ur gonna be old too!!!
Re: Boo Ya – Yes it has… that's what he gets!!
Omg tara cannot be in her 40s
"What's in the Box?" - you have to be kidding, right? That's Brad Pitt's line from SE7EN and it turns out to be his wife's head…
FUCK YOU PEREZ for calling 40 old. You are such a fat, gross, overrated retard.
Tara reid is not 40….she's 32!
BEAUTIFUL MAN….I WANT TO USE HIS GYM SHORTS AS A PILLOWCASE.
we 40 y.o. want to watch the stuff we watched when we were kids…..what happened to the good old 70's sitcoms
umm "family foreman" sounds like a wannabe "run's house" except "run's house" is actually good and, for some reason, i doubt "family foreman" will be
oh my god that jacket brad pitt is wearing is amazing. where did he get it?
finally! some "reality" shows I'd actually watch!
P.S. I also love what Brad's wearing
He looks so Brittish!
that jacket is fly
Tara Ried is like 33 you douche…but I suppose you already knew that–you're such a publicity whore…
I woukd watch Now or Never and She's got the look
hey beavis, check it out: a channel for old people. some guy's gonna take a dump on it.
