My girlfriend (age 25) and I usually watch Law & Order, and a couple weeks back, we watched "Bad Day at Blackrock" on a Canadian UHF channel thats a bit fuzzy.

She doesn't complain, but she does like to crack jokes about "Do we HAVE to watch it on the old-timey TV set?" This comes after I shut off the color 1978 Zenith daily-watcher. Truly, she's told me she doesn't care. So there is a Gen Y'er that should skew the ol' age graph.
I know the feeling, I see myself more of a "Generation Jones" type, I'll by 42 in July. I remember when we only had black and white, we had a 1959 Philco with no UHF tuner. I still have the rabbit ears, they serve as the antenna to the DTV box feeding my 1984 Commodore 1702 monitor that I use as a TV set. I get cracks myself, our newest set is a 1982 Zenith that we've been watching since 1983.
