The Live Feed posted this really interesting list of the median ages of the viewers of all the new network shows.
Good Wife – 57
Three Rivers – 57
NCIS: Los Angeles – 56
The Forgotten – 55
Mercy – 55
Hank – 55
Jay Leno Show – 53
The Middle – 51
Trauma – 50
FlashForward – 50
Eastwick – 49
Modern Family – 47
Accidentally on Purpose – 47
Brothers – 46
Cougar Town – 46
Community – 39
Glee – 37
Vampire Diaries – 32
Melrose Place – 30
Cleveland Show – 28
Since the two oldest skewing shows have already been picked up, I wonder if that means the next 5 on the list that haven’t been will get the ax because their viewer median ages are all over 50? While the news might not be good for them I am wondering if because Trauma is doing better than Leno and Mercy if that makes the show any safer than it was without that age. I also hope that because Accidentally on Purpose is below 50 unlike the other three new shows on CBS that they will get the back 9 order ASAP since it is such a good show and they are averaging younger! I also find it interesting that Melrose’s median age is 30, you would think it would be higher because you would think all the people who watched it in the ’90s would raise the age, but I guess now. So which show’s median age surprised you the most?
