Tonight’s Top Pick is the premiere of The Golden Bachelor, because nobody ever said that age was a guarantee of maturity. The Portuguese say that an old man in love is like a flower in winter. I choose to believe that means a miracle. On the other hand, an older man on a reality dating show is just questionable.
While I lament that there’s few ways to mock The Golden Bachelor without sounding ageist, let’s see what else TV has to offer us for Thursday, Sept. 28. All times are EST.
