Abstract
Network television characters from drama, comedy, game shows, news programs, and commercials were rated for age, sex, physical activity, health problems, authority, and romantic involvement. Important differences in these ratings were found between the various age and sex categories. Impact of the television medium on attitudes toward aging and self-perception of the elderly is discussed.Keywords
