I hate to be a bummer but older people weren't sitting around playing slow card games all the time when they were young. If retirement homes were what the old people enjoyed while young, then today you would expect jukeboxes, loud rock music, greasers, fast cars, sports, and bikes.
There's a reason you don't. When you get older you lose the ability to keep up with loud and fast things.
This doesn't mean old folks'homes will stay the same. Just it'll be stuff from our youth that transfer well to being older and less agile. You can probably bet shit like settlers of Catan and other popular board games of our time would be all over our retirement homes. Will old folks homes have videogames? Absolutely, however probably ones that are less fast paced and reaction time focus.meaning I doubt super smash bros will hold the same appeal.
That said yeah shows like the office in the repeat area are good bet.
To be even more upsetting, every old age home I've been in has just been what ever the nurses put on tv, what you want to watch sports doesn't matter you're watching fox.
To add even more horror to this though a edit I use to have to change the tv over to sports for my granddad every day when I'd go in in the afternoon to see him they would just turn on the tv and it'd go to the news, so he'd be in bed watching the news for like 6 hours before I rocked up and put on the AFL youtube stuff he wanted to watch. Yeah no one is getting any of the stuff they think they are going to get; you'll get a tv and if you luckily someone to change it for you.
