“You know what The Bachelor doesn't have enough of? Spin-offs. But actually, this newest Bach-adjacent dating show the producers seem to have up their sleeves is actually pretty revolutionary, because it's finally focusing on something that's often been an issue on the ABC show: age. Producer Lindsay Liles posted a casting call on Instagram looking for singles 65 and older to apply for an "exciting new dating show," which means an entire show without rolling our eyes at yet another 22-year-old getting out of the limo.” Kathryn Lindsay reporting for REFINERY29
ABC’s move will settle in somewhere between nice try and great. Great if they invest the time (in episodes) and nice try if they make it a quickie. I give them credit for doing what I figured would be a winner a while ago. The baby boomer population represents a huge chunk of audience and consumers.
Everybody wants love, and no less the seniors. They’re looking for seniors who maintain a fit lifestyle, so there’s no getting away from attractiveness. Will the younger followers of the regular bachelor series go for this? If the very positive comments by Bachelor alum and other young people, they’ll love it. They’re already sending pictures of their grandparents to ABC.
Do you have a lonely widow or widower in your family? How many times did you wish they would find somebody to enjoy love with? My case rests, the rest of me too. After all the Super Bowl is on.
