TV gave up on teens

I tend to think of myself as a man who has a good hold on popular culture. I tend to be able to keep up with certain trends and topics of importance within all sorts of genres. One interesting transition that I have noticed is how TV is giving up on teenagers. I remember a time a few years ago when a great deal of programming on television was definitely geared toward teenagers. This has changed. Perhaps the geniuses who decide what plays on television is trying to keep up with the people of my age group and trying to keep us as an audience. Im not sure what the reason is, but as you look around at the programming on television it is progressively becoming geared more and more to the 30 plus group, especially women.

The reason that this issue came into my transient thoughts is due to the fact that I am in need of another show that grabs my attention like The O.C. was able to. I am not saying that The O.C. was a quality show, but I am saying that it was awesome. It was most definitely geared to teens and was the last show of its kind as far as I can tell. Ever since the end of The O.C. most television programs have been geared for the tween group or the 30 plus group. It seems to me that the TV programmers are deliberately avoiding teenagers. This no doubt is probably a good idea due to the fact that most teenagers are not as involved in TV as they were even a few years ago when I was among them. Teens today are more concerned with what is on the internet or who they can text at that particular moment.

I do not blame you for your choices tv programmers, but I would like to ask you for another show like The OC. I need some good old teenage angst on my tv from time to time. Bring back a little love for the teens homeboys. Thanks for reading
