You know you are getting really old when

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.

Re: You know you are getting really old when

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.
