Decline in Numbers to Lawman
I was a bit anxious to see, or read if the numbers stayed up for his new series, or would take a hit. I had a hunch after the "People" magazine story, and a reference to check out his friends dog training site, (you'd have had to read the blog on that website to understand), "women" who make up a good share of viewers, and fans, just might start dropping off. While I fully understand men thinking how "lucky", or "studly" someone would be for marrying some young thing half their age, and the "oh boy, look at me I got her pregnant, and now I'm having another baby just to prove I'm really not old, and, I've still got "it", and "it" works as good as when I was really 29", it can and will turn off a lot of women fans his age, or darn close to it! He opened the "flood gates" after that first week of his show, with mentioning his new wife, "Elle", and the birth of his 7th child. It has been the hot topic on a lot of websites and Facebook, and the comments by women haven't been favorable. Maybe his uncomfortable look on the "View" was due to the fact he was a wee bit worried those women might bring it up and then jump all over him! By all means he is entitled to his privacy, and what he does behind closed doors isn't any of our business, but when you try and "hide it", as he apparently has been for months now, and then comes out grinning from ear to ear, because he bedded someone younger than his two eldest children, and has two Grandchildren that are now older than their "uncle", it's going to cause a stir. If you're so "happy and proud" of yourself, then admit it in public long before it becomes a "shock" to your fans. This is the kind of thing a drop in ratings is made of. Personally I'm so against an older man and a way younger woman being together, or marrying, I would have been "sick" from the beginning. It's a personal turn-off. So, I wouldn't be at all surprised to learn viewers will continue to drop off. Oh, and just in case you're wondering, I am a 60 year old woman, divorced for many years, who has never diluted myself or saw myself as anyone he'd ever want, so please, NO jealousy talk here!! LOL I was a Nurse for too many years and around people from all walks of life, and learned a lot about human behavior as well as tending to the "sick and wounded"!
Just one "old lady's" take on this, and I'll never try being "younger" by seeing if I can "catch and bed" a young man! I accept aging as a natural process and realize no matter how hard you try, you can not go back in time! It's all about you being comfortable in your own skin, and accepting and loving yourself and aging gracefully.
Sincerely,
Kate
