And then there is also the trend of “too old” actors and actresses playing the parts of moms and dads of young children. Jim Belushi is as old as I am and he’s got 3 little kids and I think one on the way.

How about Patricia Heaton. It was okay when she was on Raymond, but now that she’s nearing 50, I think she seems too old to be the mother of a 12 year old on the show with Kelsey Grammer.

Another show no longer on, I think it was call Joan of Arcadia, had an older woman Mary Steenburgen and dad (can’t think of his name, who had teenage children.

And what’s up with Desperate Housewives? The woman with the dark hair—-I know she’s a popular actress, I just can’t remember her name. Come on!!!! pregnant? She should be entering menopause.
