Back in the 1980s, "The Golden Girls" and "Cocoon" were among the notable titles to feature older actors, but those were certainly not the norm, especially on television with limited channels.
Now, in the age of streaming and the need for more content, actors like Jean Smart ("Hacks"), Kathy Bates ("Matlock"), Harrison Ford ("Shrinking") and Ted Danson ("Curb Your Enthusiasm," "Fargo") continue finding work and remain favorites not only with viewers but with those handing out Emmys.
In this week's episode, the hosts talk about the continued success these actors and others are finding and the reasons behind the trend.
