Happyish

It's a generational clash when 40-something ad exec Thom Payne gets a new wunderkind boss, who is in his mid-20s. When his boss starts using words like digital, social and viral, Thom realizes he may need to rebrand himself to compete in a technology-driven world. His pursuit of happiness is going well to this point -- he has a beautiful house in the woods, a loving family, a roster of big-name clients and a trophy shelf filled with awards for his work -- but being slow to adapt compromises his quest. His immediate supervisor, 50-something Jonathan, has begun to embrace the changing environment and encourages Thom to do the same. Otherwise, Thom may be stuck being just "happyish" for the rest of his life.

A dark examination of our pursuit of happiness, a pursuit that might just be the very thing causing our unhappiness in the first place. Thom Payne is 42, his new bosses at work are half his age and they say the words 'digital' and 'social' far too often. His mentor and boss, Jonathan (Ifans) tells him to "rebrand" himself, his corporate headhunter tells him happiness is a myth, and Thom's not sure if his Viagra will interfere with his Prozac, or vice versa. Acclaimed actress Kathryn Hahn stars as Lee Payne, Thom's wife, who is looking for a larger goal, a purpose, a meaning. Good luck with that. Happiness? In this world? Happiness after all is pretty high bar; in a world as absurd as ours, maybe the best anyone can hope for is happyish.

It's also about selling ideas, selling lifestyles, and even selling the idea of what it means to be an American. The best TV shows about advertising are some of the most entertaining shows on television because they show how much work goes into creating a single ad campaign. These shows range from sitcoms to dramas that focus on the lives of people who work in advertising.Some of the best TV series about advertising are set in New York City during the golden age of Madison Avenue when agencies were run by men like Bill Bernbach and George Lois.

Looking for some good shows about senior citizens to catch?&nbsp;Of the many different types of people underrepresented on television, none are as rarely depicted as <a href="https://www.ranker.com/list/stories-from-96-year-old-man-ama/alby-thompson" target="_blank">senior citizens</a>. It&#39;s strange when you consider the ever-increasing population of elderly folk, but most of television is devoted to the 18-34 demographic, which means the majority of characters shown on screen are in their 20s or 30s. That isn&#39;t to say a senior citizen doesn&#39;t make an appearance in those shows, but they rarely stand as a main character. Fortunately, Hollywood hasn&#39;t completely ignored the elder&nbsp;demographic and there are some fabulous series on television viewers of all ages can enjoy.

The series most people immediately think of when coming up with a good series about senior citizens is&nbsp;Golden Girls&mdash;featuring the <a href="https://www.ranker.com/list/most-beloved-grumps-in-tv-history/ranker-tv" target="_blank">beloved TV grump</a> Sophia Petrillo&mdash;and&nbsp;it&#39;s far from the only one. Recent additions like&nbsp;Downton Abbey&nbsp;feature a large cast of seniors while classics like&nbsp;Matlock&nbsp;were filmed well into the actors&#39;&nbsp;early seventies. In short, there&#39;s a decent list of shows about older people&mdash;and you can find the best of them here. It&#39;s not all retirement villages for senior characters, in both Bosch and Columbo, they&#39;re solving crimes (and not just between writing novels). In series like The Crown, Homeland, and One Day at a Time, older characters are a vital part of ensemble casts.

For some great recommendations on shows about the elderly, browse this list and vote up your favorite shows staring older folks and senior citizens. You can also check out some <a href="https://www.ranker.com/list/best-movies-featuring-the-elderly/lanayoshii" target="_blank">movies featuring seniors</a> and shows that focus specifically on <a href="https://www.ranker.com/list/best-shows-about-retirement/ranker-tv" target="_blank">old folks who have retired.</a>
