Then check the OP. My response, the one that started this small conversation, is a response to the OP saying they target the same audience.


Yeah that was me.

I still stand by it. I've seen nothing that makes me think it's geared towards 40+. Just a lot of hullabaloo that it's mean and not really nerdy which really has nothing to do with age.

As I said, I edited. BBT targets Middle America (and succeeds quite well), HIMYM doesn't.

And your response earlier was:

Yeah. All the Star Wars and Avengers references really target the 40+ market.


Which, if your other quote is correct, has nothing to do with who it targets either. So just because it has random Star Wars and Avengers references does not mean it is targeted at Star Wars and Avengers geeks. It's targeted squarely at Middle America because those references are of no consequence to getting the comedy in the show.
