You don't have to be under 30 to enjoy the show.

One of the persons posting a "review" on August 7, 2010 generalized that because one "older" person didn't get the show's humor, that you basically have to be under 30 to appreciate Children's Hospital and the rest of the Adult Swim lineup. I'm 47, and I completely get the humor. Much of Adult Swim's shows (particularly the actual cartoons) reference many cartoons and characters from shows of the 1960s and 1970s, which I grew up on. And if you look at many of the actors and writers, they're WELL OVER 30. Don't bunch all the older folk into a category of "not getting it." I, like many other friends around my age love these shows. I'm thankful that they exist since most television shows these days have been too common. And yes, I even enjoy Tim & Eric!

55 here, so far I think I'm the oldest one. I LOVE this show. Robot Chicken, Brilliant. Liked Space Ghost, Brak Show, Aqua Teen Hunger Force as well. It's not about how many years you've been on the planet, it's about what kind of humor you enjoy and humor can transcend age, just like most genres of music and Mexican food.

Ok, so maybe not Mexican food. I'm too old for the hot stuff anymore. I eat it and it's looking for the exit all too soon. Ok, so we'll leave Mexican food out of this.
