To me one of the greatest things about TV is the adventuresome spirit so many people have---so eager to try something new and different; eager to meet people from dozens of other states and countries; eager to go exploring in varying landscapes of Florida that are so unique to the USA; eager to learn new sports and hobbies; eager to have new social groups and contacts.
All these aspects of villagers are why people here seem so much younger at heart than their age-group peers where we lived before (various states).
Our retired relatives and friends who have stayed in the same place upon retirement are getting more and more sour and stuck in their ways.....while our villages neighbors and friends get younger at heart and more flexible, and flexibility is key in personal relationships.
I think that's why so many people here say they had more friends here in a month than they had in years at previous homes in other places.
The Villages is really about the spirited people.....not buildings/facilities.
