'Old' People TV

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├óΓé¼┬ªbut 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? ├óΓé¼ΓÇ£ TV Land’s first game show in which individual contestants square off in the ultimate, fast-paced 20 question competition.
