You are looking at photos of the attendees at theEmmy awards and you have no foggy idea who most of these people are.

Yeah, for sure! Same thing with musicians, singers, groups! Most of them I don't know --- and furthermore --- don't want to!!!!!

I think I went through that with a People magazine. It's new chapter time.

It is not necessarily age that makes it hard to recognize these people. There are so many ways to access programming these days it is impossible to know everyone .

My answer would be the same as KathyPet: I just don't care or have no interest in keeping up with these people.

I was watching the Bob Newhart Show marathon during the weekend. And during the breaks Bob Newhart talked about his show. One segment he said that he was pleased that 40+ years after the show aired that people still are interested in the show and want to watch it.

He also stated in one segment that his show got ratings in the 42-45% range.

Wonder if any shows honored last night will be able to say the same thing in 40 years.

Good point, @drizzellla. My daughter loves all the "old" shows and gameshows. She has even bought the whole Mary Tyler Moore series. She loves Matchgame, Hollywood Squares, and so do I! She is in her 40's and I am in my 60's. I don't have a clue about the newcomers either.

DH and I turned off the Emmy's last night and watched a rerun of the Smothers Brothers Comedy Hour. They introduced a new band called The Who! We watched the whole show and I said, "Honey, we are those old people we used to laugh at".

I also had no idea who any of the nominees are since I have never seen any of the shows they're in. I watch movies on TCM, reruns of Colombo and yesterday football. Sad to say I don't know and don't care about the current crop of TV shows.

You're getting old when you have more hairs to tweeze on your chin than on your eyebrows. Sigh!!

That's pretty much why I no longer watch the Emmy's as I have no clue who these people are. I like to watch the red carpet or google afterwards to see the fashions though. I'm a music lover though so I have a little more knowledge on who they are....or I've at least heard of them.

It's not growing old....it's growing UP and no longer worshiping at the altar of "celebrity". Lots more important things in life.

I know many of the musicians, singers, and groups, but I realized last night how few of the nominated shows I have ever watched.

you are getting old when movies are announced and you have no idea a movie was out with that title.

i haven't seen a movie in at least a couple of years.
