TNT’s Men of a Certain Age is story about 3 middle aged guys living life, and you don’t have to be a middle aged man to love this show that premieres tonight at 10p. The show stars Ray Romano, Scott Bakula and Andre Braugher as three life long friends dealing with everyday life and getting through it all together.
Ray Romano plays Joe a recently separated father of two living in a hotel who owns a party store and his marriage came to an end because of his gambling addiction. Scott Bakula plays Terry a never been married actor working a temp job who dates women almost half his age. Andre Braugher plays Owen a married father of three young kids who hates working as a car salesmen for his father’s dealership. Together these friend laugh at the good times and help each other through the bad ones.
Every day the three get up early and go for a hike and then they have breakfast at Norm’s and talk about their lives. Then they go their separate ways, work their jobs and we learn more about each of them. Joe is struggling to make it on his own without his wife, but throughout it all he is a good dad to his teenage kids. Terry is trying to get his next acting job while he looks for the next woman date. And then there is Owen who gets beaten down by dad everyday he goes to work and is hoping to some day to stand up to him and his kiss a$$ co-worker Marcus.
During the first three episodes we see Joe struggle with dating again, Terry stands up to bad drivers in a way that we all wish we could, Owen deals with his health his issues that come with getting older and finally finding those balls between his legs. There are some great male bonding moments between the three and the people in their lives. The best part about it, is the show feels real and you can see the scenarios happening in your everyday life, but you are glad that some of them you don’t. Plus what a freaking cast! I personally have had a crush on Scott Bakula since Quantum Leap. Ray Romano had a show everyone loved! Andre Braugher is always amazing in everything he does.
All in all Men of a Certain Age is an enjoyable show that everyone can enjoy! So check it out tonight and every Monday at 10p for a show that brings bromance into the middle ages.
BTW as I was told before I watched the three episodes I got to review the show that I should stick with it past the pilot because it is a little slower than the rest of the episodes and I am so glad I did. I sincerely enjoyed this show and I know you will too!
