It's on Wednesday nights at 10/9c on TNT.
What makes "Men of a Certain Age" so interesting to me is that it's about three middle aged guys who each have their individual problems. They are guys just trying to deal with life in their mid fifties.

Joe, played by Ray Romano (Everybody Loves Raymond) is an easy going guy who is divorced, owns a party store, and is trying to control his gambling addiction. He's finding life as a single person at this time of life is not to his liking.

Terry, played by Scott Bakula (Quantum Leap) is a single guy who is still playing the field, no longer trying to have a career as an actor, and working as a car salesman. His heart is really not in it.

Owen, played by Andre Braugher (Homicide: Life on the Street) is a happily married man. His father retired from the Chevy dealership that he owned and put his son in charge of the business. Dad does not approve of anything the son does.
The performances are so real, I feel like I'm peeking in on their private lives.
They are not bad guys, they are just guys trying to find their way through some difficult times.
Sometimes there are laughs to be had, but mostly "it's serious business."
There have been a few episodes where I have come close to tears!
I have read that the show has been struggling in the ratings, and it may lose the battle.
Have you heard about the show? Have you watched it?
If you haven't looked in on it, try it you might like it!
