Father, train sets are for six-year-olds and impotent middle-aged men looking to spend less time with their wives.Are we going to accept this affront in the name of comedy without protest? I, for one, may be middle-aged, but as Toby Keith sang:
I ain't as good as I once was but I'm as good once as I ever was.

Well, since my wife shares my train hobby and we get to spend time together we do not fit that mold......besides I never watch network TV that much anymore. Between wife, work, and trains who has the time? I admit it is a wonderful kind of busy....
I was shocked when that show wasn't cancelled after I had watched two episodes. Judging by its current ratings not many folks would have heard that comment.

I am not watching TV. Commercials are so grinding. It is hard to watch most commercials and many shows.

I watched Celtic Woman "Home for Christmas" on PBS last night. Easy on the eyes and easy on the ears. Beautiful women and beautiful music…a great combo for this or any season. 
I haven't seen a commercial on TV since I got a DVR. I even record the nightly news and NFL Football. All those commercial breaks add up to more time in the train room.

In general the media isn't kind to those of the train enthusiast world.

If you've adopted the philosophy of Mad Magazine's famous cover boy, why are you worried about it?

We're primarily responsive for that because we created our own stereotype a good number of years ago. The media is just perpetuating that preconceived and often erroneous notion that any adult male who "plays" with trains is somehow lacking in other areas.
It is on Hulu if you want to see for your self.
