I feel like it would be weird to NOT categorize “an in-person event and a multi-stakeholder dialogue" as a snoozefest, so you've done well. My mom, who is single and in her 60s, is watching the Golden Bachelor, but in the "can't tear your eyes away from watching a car crash" sort of way haha.
Thanks for backing me up on the "snoozefest" front, Emily! I appreciate the support. :) And I do understand why people might watch the show for the car crash effect. I will admit I've enjoyed Naked and Afraid for that very reason, though I also want to throw a parade for anyone who survives that competition. Please send me your mom's review when the show ends. :)
Great post! I've never heard of International Day of Older Persons (UNIDOP) and it is definitely a day more people should be aware of. Kudos to you for watching that reality show. I saw the trailer and winced. I never watch reality shows, and this one seemed to personal to me, being single and 66.
Thanks for the note and share, Pamela! Much appreciated. And you definitely can skip that show. I just hope its existence represents a shift in the industry. Perhaps we'll start to see more quality television featuring 50+ folks like in the UK where most of the stars of their popular shows are older women. Dare to dream. :)
Oh my gosh, this is so funny because my mother-in-law is over and she said she's enjoying the senior bachelor! Maybe she likes it because she's seen the other ones and compares it to this one, which she feels has more substance because the people have different desires and wants and more wisdom. As a person who watches ZERO TV (I watch about 4 different youtubers though) this does not entice me at all. I really dislike reality TV. At best, it's really good editing without having to put context or reality to what actually happened. The end result is entertainment and leaves the people in it looking like fools. Just my opinion on never seeing this show, ha!

We need more 50+ tv shows here in the U.S. too!
Indeed!
