  Many “older people shows” never went away.   
  Examples:
  
  
  Games shows.  Wheel of Fortune is in it’s 40th season, and the host and hostess have not changed in decades.  Jeopardy and Price is Right make the list too.
  
  
  Old-school news shows are still on.  Meet the Press has been going strong since 1947.  60 minutes is still running too.  And all the old people I know still watch ABC, NBC, or CBS nightly news.
  
  
  Sports.  We see 61-year-old Boomer Esiason as analyst each week.
  
  
  Soap Operas.  Days of Our Lives and You g and the Restless have been goung strong for half a century.
  
  
  Sitcoms.  Maybe geared more towards Gen-X, but many are rebooted.  Full House made a comeback with the full original cast 30 years later.
  
  
  Cartoons.  We have new episodes of your grandma’s favorites: Flintstones, Scooby Doo, and Looney Tunes.
  
  
  And, if all else fails, you can watch reruns of almost any show from the 50s through present on your favorite streaming service.
context: First counterexample I could think of is the new cop show East New York where 90% of the main ensemble are middle-aged-or-older (do they all have to be elderly to satisfy your requirement) and only one or two of those isn't currently in a committed relationship (not sure if you said anything about it but that's a counter to some people's common TV drama stereotype of it being "the love and sex lives of young pretty people") >
  
  okay. it premiered this year, and I see two or three aged 50 or older as main cast. the rest are under that. I see favorable reviews, but I don't know how long it'll last. but that's something to look forward...
  Well, I almost forgot New Tricks, a British mystery crime series about retired old men assisting a female police detective.
