    I felt badly for them until I started watching recent episodes with my kids. They look worn out, they can't perform as well (they are well over 50, by the way), and my children weren't interested. Honestly, there was a sense of staleness to an all elderly cast, but the younger actors on the show bring liveliness.

    Ageism is real and terrible, but for the sake of kids, it's good for the show to go on (and interest kids) so really, at some point, the "family" on the show should have thought more about what would make kids watch, and not that they were comfortable in their jobs and loved it. I grew up with this cast, my kids didn't, they have no attachment to them to make them want to watch.
