Excuse me, but these two labels making TV sound geriatric and decrepit have NOTHING to do with us and our 100 or more CYV neighbors, and they have nothing to do all other neighborhoods with which we are familiar. TV is marketed as an 'active adult community', and that is what it is.
There is gross mischaracterization going on in this thread.

To me it this sounds like an over reaction to an accurate descriptor.
The word "oldster" is not a pejorative.
oldster - definition of oldster by the Free Online Dictionary, Thesaurus and Encyclopedia.

Matter of fact, it is a very accurate description.

I don't think the substitute description in your post is an accurate meaning of the word....
