MEN OF A CERTAIN AGE
There is only one TV show that I make it my business to watch, "Men of a Certain Age."

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!

I have watched and do indeed like it. It has a certain appeal that some people may not find but it does bear consideration for approval.
 
I don't have cable so I can't watch it but I wish I could!

Thank you for the heads up. I will try to see if it's listed. I haven't watched it, but will use Steve's link to check it out.

Yesterday I didn't feel like doing anything so I got hooked on "Suits". It is on USA. It's about a law firm with owned by 2 sharks and the problems a young lawyer is having trying to please both of them. I am going to give it another shot to see if it holds my interest. I miss Mad Men. That was my favorite series, but I watched it on NetFlix. Also watched series 1 and 2 of "In Treatment". I like that one, too.
 
I haven't seen this show, but you are not the first person who has recommended it. I'll have to check it out.
 
Love this show -- being a woman of that certain age.
 
I haven't seen this show yet but I really want to! From what I have heard it has an interesting story line... I like that it focuses on a demographic age group that is usually ignored.
 
Thanks, Steve, for the link. I'll have to check it out as your description makes it sound interesting, Millie.

I choose not to have cable as there are only a few shows there I like. Can get everything else and more with my converter box. I rented Mad Men DVDs after series ended and really enjoyed it. Reminded me of those I worked with and encountered in my TV days of the '50s and '60s.

I liked Boston Legal and now this new Kathy Bates series though the name escapes me.
