Members of the Brady Bunch, now all in their 50s, recently reunited in front of screaming fans. Now the Rolling Stones, all in or nearing their 70s, are touring again. How old is too old to entertain?

You’re NEVER too old! Age is just a number — more power to ’em!

Not sure. But I do enjoy a good “Golden Girls” rerun in syndication. Now THAT’S entertainment!
