Good grief, the young adults I know either are working at night, have kids and are busy with school things, extracurricular sports, music lessons, etc. The young single males I know don't spend their time watching the same things I do (outside of XFiles of course.) In fact, their time is spent watching the reality shows, sports (or playing sports) or spending time with their girlfriends. My youngest daughter likes Crossing Jordan and sets her schedule around it. I doubt she is the only one in her age bracket who does that.

These execs need to get real. If they are going to insist on taking decent shows off the air only to replace them with doggy doodoo, I won't be wasting my time watching that network's idea of good programming. Target who they want, I can certainly keep busy without watching television!
