I haven't personally experienced it, but only because I'm still in my middle
40s (44). However I know a number of people who *have* been affected by it,
and it's a genuine problem. The irony is that many of the shows that say "we
want mid-twenties writers only" are being run by guys in their fifties...so if
they can create it and write for it, why can't somebody else in that age range?
