Life Begins at Eighty

Life Begins at Eighty is an American panel discussion television series which aired from January 1950 to February 1956.

In its ABC run, Life Begins at Eighty was aired opposite two anthology series, Appointment with Adventure on CBS and The Loretta Young Show on NBC.

The show was hosted by Jack Barry, and consisted of viewers at home writing questions for the octogenarian panel to answer.

Life Begins at Eighty was a spin-off of the popular panel discussion series Juvenile Jury, in which young children answered questions from the viewers at home.

The series was parodied in a Sesame Street game show sketch starring Guy Smiley titled, Happiness Begins at 40.
