A TV channel runs programming all day. Riverdale, Arrowverse, etc, air in the evening. So the age discrepancy comes from daytime viewing.:giraffe:

Majority of people who watch cable still are basically 50+ year olds. It makes for those cable networks to start shifting to those demographics and keep streaming originals shows for the younger audience.

This.

So I guess, I will watch all the final seasons to the shows I watch now and not bother tuning into the new shows.

Not surprising. You have to have some level of senility to enjoy Riverdale in 2022 I fear.

I came here to mention Reba :lmao:

 

IIRC It was originally cancelled as CW was trying to target a younger audience and didn’t believe it fit the channel, now look :deadbanana4:

Yeah that is what I remember their reason for canceling it as well, even though it still had great ratings at the time :cries:

 

Reba has talked about wanting to revive the show for the past decade, and she recently said that she's been "trying really hard" to make it happen. I hope our country queen comes through! :jonny:

Same. I swore once The CW canceled Ringer after one season I'd never watch another series. But I did... now I might be done, aside from Kung-Fu.

I didn't really watch their kids' programming, but always heard positive things!!!

That'd be cute, but most of the predominate cast are doing new series.

misleading title; as the tweet indicates 58 is ALREADY the average age of the network's viewers

Riverdale: Asylum

This maybe explains why some of their teen/YA oriented shows were so bad, like people who have never met anyone in that demographic.

 

I'm still shocked though, 58? :deadbanana2:
