Scoop: 'House' double date 'turns ugly'

You’re either saying that 40-50 year old people are too old to have any or are too dumb to be entertained by anyting except the banal. Personally, I’m not happy with the writing on the show this year, but not because they take the characters out and let them have some fun. It’s the Huddy and the poor writing in general. Criticize the show if you want, but not all of the fans of it are imbeciles. By the way, I’m 53.

Actually, I agree with Louise because when I read your post it seemed to me (and this is only my opinion) to imply that people 40-50 can’t have that type of fun and heaven forbid if they do they are not acting their age. I love go-carts, and like the characters, have a very competitive streak in me, so I would make the racing of those carts a competitive race if I was racing with them. So, if that makes me as acting as a 17 year old, so be it. You are only as old as you make yourself to be and I certainly don’t want to be an old, doddering middle-aged person who can’t have any fun in a competitive activity. Who makes the rules at what activities 40+ people can do and how they act doing them? I also was reading to say that you were implying that TPTB were having to dumb down the show to viewer who still watch this shows, of which I am btw 57. Or do viewers my age don’t count in their viewing audience? I most certainly am not a dumb person. I am a college graduate with honors, btw, who just happens to enjoy this program (I also must confess to having a love affair with the genius that is the highly awarded English actor Hugh Laurie). Sorry for the long post, but it is all said with good humor by someone who enjoys this program.

Respectfully, it’s just how I was reading your post. I am only one person with one opinion. I guess we will just have to agree to disagree. To each his/her own opinion.

I’m in that age range, and I still like roller coasters and other things like go-karts.
