The 70's TV show, "All in the Family" featured the iconic cranky-old-man character, "Archie Bunker".
The age of this character on the show? Well, there was an episode where Archie celebrated his 50th birthday-- in 1974. This show premiered in 1968. So, the show started when the Archie character was 44.
I think that the perception of age and age-appropriateness was very different than it is today even a relatively short time ago.
