Men of Certain Age on TNT

I am pretty excited about this new show coming to TNT called Men of a Certain Age starring Ray Romano and Scott Bakula.

The show explores the unique bonds of male friendship among three men experiencing the changes and challenges of mid-life. They have been best friends since college but now, in their 40s, are navigating through the second act of their lives. Joe (Romano) is a friendly, slightly neurotic, recently separated father of two who had dreams of being a professional golfer. Now he owns and runs a party store. Terry (Bakula) is a laid-back, handsome actor who seems to breeze through life (and women). Lately, he’s spending more time working as a temp than as an actor. And Owen (Braugher) is an overstressed husband and father of three who endures constant criticism from his father, for whom he works as a car salesman.

I had the opportunity to see a preview of the show and I am setting the DVR so as not to miss it. I am not a Ray Romano fan but I do like Scott Bakula fan. I watched the previews and I think this is going to be a thinking comedy. It is pretty close to real life. I don’t think this is going to be a sitcom. I think viewers will be laughing but in the end pondering the points of the episode. I am looking forward to seeing more.

Men of a Certain Age premiers this Monday, December 7 on TNT at 10/9c.

I was contacted and asked if I would like to write about it this. I was not compensated in anyway. The opinion are mine and mine alone. I think it is sad I have to write that but I digress.
