How old are the people who watch reality TV shows? The answers
are below.
Earlier this summer, FX released data on all the ratings of all

television shows that aired from Jan. 1 to May 17. They were

ranked according to their 18-49

demographic because younger viewers are presumed to be
desirable consumers.
The data also included the median age of the shows viewers,
which I found fascinating, both because younger viewers are so
coveted and because some shows skewed a lot older than I would
have expected. (The median is not the average; instead, its the
center, so there are an equal number of older and younger
viewers.)
So, I went through part of that list and pulled out every nonfiction
TV show and its median age. I stopped on page seven of 16 when I
got to 201 shows; still, some shows are listed multiple times here,
because of the way their network listed different versions as
separate shows.
Some results are predictableMTV has the first five reality shows
with the youngest audiences, while the two oldest-skewing shows
are on broadcast. Others were surprising: SharkTanks median
viewer is a year older than Survivors, for example, and
AmazingRace is even older.
Its important to note that the order of this list doesnt correlate
to overall ratings. For example, the first show on this list, The
Real World Skeletons, averaged 1.5 million viewers in live + 7
(those who watched live or on a DVR within seven days of the
broadcast), while the oldest show, Undercover Boss, averaged 9.1
million viewers.
