As a baby boomer and a parent...

As a baby boomer and a parent of a young child, I feel inundated by commercials on television marketing products geared to our generation. Why is it then, that the television programs themselves do not reflect our lifestyle?

We find ourselves tuning in Canadian or Australian productions on cable TV in order to find quality family entertainment. Are they so much quicker in realizing that there is a huge market starving for such programming or is it more likely they aren’t forced to give in to sponsor’s demands?
