The advertisers say the high-end of the big spenders are 49-year-old. I'm not sure why, unless they are considering women with children buying for their families.
I agree, they don't know how to market - probably because they aren't that old themselves!
I agree with you on all three of those shows you mention.
There was a show, I think in the fifties, that had to do with crime in the city. It was a very gritty show, and I don't remember who the star was, but every once in a while I think of that show. The announcer's voice would come on at the beginning to set the tone for the show.
I think the words naked city were in the title or at least in the description. One night one of the characters got acid thrown in their face and I will never forget that. I know I only watched it on the nights Mom and Dad were at their lodge meeting.
There were really some great shows back then.
