2. U go norm you’ve proven there r still many of us old timers (I’m 73) that don’t feel old don’t act old and lead active fulfilling lives what’s the sense of retiring if your not out there enjoying every day like it’s your last after all it could b. Whether it’s joining a club volunteering playing with grandkids writing that book about your wild and crazy ride called life teaching English to immigrants there’s lots more stuff to do Norman is an inspiration that’s kept us laughing for yrs and hopefully many more to come

4. I would love to see it! I can’t wait to see what he does with it. There is so much material to work with……and he knows how to put it all together. When when when can we see it?

6. I am 67, and I would love to see this.. I will be 90 in a blink of an eye….(if I live to be that old). I know this because I became 67 in a blink of an eye..

7. As a viewer that falls into your age demographics, I think a series focusing on the aging issue is long overdue or at least would be a welcome addition to the TV schedule. The Brits know how to laugh at themselves and create(d) some great TV comedies focusing on getting old i.e. “One Foot in the Grave”, “Keeping Up Appearances”, “Waiting for God”, etc. Given the subject, humor is the perfect way to share stories by a master story teller where we, as the French say, “of a certain age” can kvetch about aches & paints, real and otherwise. You go, Norman!

8. Everybody in the networks sneered at some of your far out offerings such as All in the Family, the Jeffersons, etc. now they are classics and so this one you have come up with will probably outrage at first, but will quickly become the rage. Go for it?

11. All those “networks” that refuse to air this wonderful show will be in my “demographic” some day…maybe then, they’ll ‘get it’.
    Absolutely I would/will watch this show. At 83 years old I long for some decent TV shows to watch. We’re still alive!… and appreciate intelligent writing like Norman Lear has given us in the past.
