A Boomer Retirement Reality Show

Many of you have Boomer parents who are either retired or getting ready to retire. There's a lot of interest in retirement, at least if you believe in the ads you see while watching golf on TV. And who doesn't believe TV ads?

Here's my primary thought about "retirement": It's not part of the evolutionary scheme of things. Evolution is all about the survival of the species. If anything, "retirement" works more against survival than it does for it.

But that's neither here nor there... What's important right now is that a decent show about Boomers, that attracted Boomer watchers, would be a ratings winner. Here are some of the titles that are rattling around in my brain pan:

Sun City Scandals

CSI The Villages

Dancing with Arthritis

Forgetting Alzheimer's

Don't Answer the Phone, it might be the Kids!

Fixed Income Follies

Viagra, the Musical

Prostate Confidential
