They said the average age was 62? Hubby and I don't buy that do you?

It was well done and fun to see. It's hard to believe we live here!

Anyway, 50,000 golf carts is an amazing number of carts. Can't wait to add my cart to the mix next year.

We watched it and loved it! We will be moving to the Villages from Omaha in 6 weeks and it made us even more excited to finally get there!

I do not understand why there should be any mention of Blechman's book, Leisureville, on a segment about The Villages. He is just another hack who is jealous that he cannot move to The Villages. His book lacked all credibility.

Anyhow, the segment was good. I did see a quick glimpse of me and my wife in our golf cart. Do I get residuals whenever it is shown?

I missed it. I ended up watching the reports of Robin Williams death on CNN and FoxNews. I remembered about 9:30 so I switched over and by 9:50 I realized I was too late.

The Golf Channel has a special at that time about "Golf at The Villages." Should be fun to watch. Not sure how long the show.

Be sure to tell your family and friends elsewhere, so they too can enjoy the show...and get a better feeling about what makes The Villages so popular.

This may have been shown before; I'm not sure. Tune in, and smile.

Just watched the program on my DVR and then went to The Villages website to find the prices on all homes are up 10%.(I am joking) The developer just got a 10 minute ad on national TV for free.TV ads have been on the Golf Channel for many years and that is how I found TV.
The program was very positive about The Villages and I am sure many people will be during research on TV.

The show is on again today Aug,12 at 11.00 AM and 4.00 PM, on the golf channel.

I suspect that in the interests of full reporting, they included him and his opinion. The show, in my opinion, did not push his side, they included it and cut away moving on with very positive comments. I am glad that I recorded the segment (thanks to the OP for the heads up!) and will hit the repeat button quite a bit until we are living full time "in the bubble".

Congrats to you and your wife on your "air time"!

Here's the segment if you didn't get a chance to watch....(there's a commercial segment first.)

I just can't believe the average age at 62 in TV. If (a) the supposedly minimum age is 55, (b) "most" people retire in their mid 60's, and (c) life expectancy continues to increase the numbers just don't add up.

[2BNTV]

Over 100 miles of golf cart path's was new to me.

I thought it was only 90. Still growing.

The best was the heading. "The Hippest Retirement Community".

I immediately put this link on my facebook page in answer to my friends back home who often say, "Now WHERE do you live in Florida?"

The only downer was Andrew Blechman. I am thinking about making a dart board with his picture on it.
