One wonders how much of this is the programming and how much of it is us? I hardly watch anything on TV nowadays either but used to watch a ton. They put shows on that young people watch. I ain't young anymore (45 ain't old but it ain't young either!) : 0 I venture to guess it has been like that for a LONG time, perhaps since TV began. I was reading a book about Jackie Gleason and it said that part of CBS's reasoning for finally dumping him in 1970 was they wanted the younger viewers that he was not bringing in. This is not a new phenomenon.
