USATODAY.com — Are networks losing young-male appeal?

“They’re watching television when they want to watch television,” says ABC Entertainment president Susan Lyne. “If you look across the network schedule, they are probably not the most well-served audience.”

Cop shows and family dramas tend to appeal to older viewers and women…

Here’s hoping that we get some more decent shows from the US soon then. As I’ll be in the area early next year, I might pop by and explain to them why seventeen spin-offs from CSI and Law & Order might be overdoing it just a tad.

In other news: I like JB Hi-Fi, I really do. Good prices, brilliant selection, bright yellow… it’s all very nice. Except, the people who serve you in the Melbourne DVD section have never once managed a convincing smile, and the man there doesn’t even seem to think he has to try. Grumpy bums, the lot of them.

There is of course the possibility that they’re holding back their scorn for my DVD selections.
