Are we?
Well there are always honourable exceptions, Robyn. You *points* are the future. So chop bloody chop!

I think the fact that there are such diverse exceptions to what the media in particular seems to see as rules about generations, is half of the problem. Teenagers can't be put into boxes any more so than any other age group, but I personally feel that young people are the ones who suffer most from this kind of thing.
I think my family is just a reverse in that my parents watch what we watch, rather than the other way around. We're the ones to convert them, and it far from puts us off in future.
Well they know how to spell bon mot better than my generation.
There is war between the generations.
C'est la gorilla.

Age is just a matter of what year you were born in.

Thats' why it's okay to lie about it. 
Personally I think it's about how much you've lived and experienced and learned. I feel ancient sometimes...

I'm generalising obviously! There's seems to be a general trend or cult of being thick. Thick people are idolised and celebrated by younger people now. I find the students I was at university with in the mid-90s are very different to some of the young students I see today. Mainly because they talk like toddlers...
Perhaps the BBC should just wait for its audience to grow up and find them? Kind of like drinking tea and eating your greens…
Don't know why they're bending over backwards for them.
They won't become license fee payers for years yet.
I was with a bunch of 6th formers today who hate Coming Of Age. They reckon it degrades them.
Excellent.
(I used to do that when I was about 13, only with the word 'right'. I think me and my friends were temporarily mentally ill.)

It bloody well does. Utter drivel.
My favourite comedy has been Curb You Enthusiasm since I was about 12. But I was a pretty messed up kid.
All the shows I loved as a kid were obvious adult shows - Red Dwarf, Smith and Jones, Absolutely. Any edgy ish comedy in the BBC2 nine o'clock slot, really.

'temporarily'
Nudge him. Actually no it's not really a typo it's an invented word - so I approve!!

What are you now, 12 and a half?
Mighty Boosh's biggest fanbase is surely teenage girls, no? It is round these parts anyways, Noel Fielding and all.
The only distinct things I can think of that I liked a lot as a "teenager" was Monkey Dust cos it was kinda twisted and all, that was early teens though.
Still like it a bit, just nowhere near as much.
Since I'm 19, I'd like to point out we teenagers currently love Stewart Lee, Daniel Kitson, Garry Shandling and Harry Hill, that's what we like.
