TNT has faith in their freshman series Men of a Certain Age. So much that they’ve decided to renew it for a second season before the first one is only half aired.
Men of a Certain Age follows the lives of three male friends who are adjusting to the challenges of middle age. The show stars Ray Romano, Andre Braugher, and Scott Bakula, and also features Norma Jean, Braeden Lemasters, Matt Price, Brittany Curran, Brian J. White, Shelly Desai, Lisa Gay Hamilton, Little JJ, Kwesi Boakye, Penelope Ann Miller, and Michael Hitchcock.
The series debuted to big numbers on December 7th, attracting 5.4 million viewers. That represented ad-supported cable’s top launch of 2009 for households and those ages 25-54 (a natural demographic for the series).
The numbers have dropped significantly since the premiere, with the most recent installment hitting a series low of about 2.9 million viewers.
Despite the decline, TNT believes in Men enough to renew the show for another round of 10 episodes. TNT executive VP Michael Wright said, “Men of a Certain Age has been embraced by viewers and critics alike, making our decision to renew an easy one.”
Season one is expected to finish on February 22nd. No word on when Men will return for season two.
What do you think? Are you glad that Men of a Certain Age is continuing or should it have been cancelled?

Men of a certain age is my favorite show.My friends , family and I love this showand can relate to it very much. It is much better than most of the shows on TV, PLEASE KEEP IT ON THE AIR FOR MANY YEARS TO COME!!!!!!!!!!
My husband and I love this show. We can hardly wait for season 2. So glad it was renewed!!
I absoluted love “Men of a Certain Age”. Please don’t take it off the air. My two adult daughters and I are hooked!
I have to say that I adored this show!
It has a depth and texture that I really wasn’t expecting from these actors (ok, Anton Brauer can read the back of a cereal box and add depth and texture)
thanks for the news!
PLEASE BRING IT BACK – A GREAT SHOW WITH LOTS OF SUBSTANCE
Please advise the time & date so I can set my DVR!
I love this program and delighted to see it back this fall. When does the first fall episode
start so I can set my DVR. I don’t want to miss it. Linda
This is one of the best shows on the air. An honest look at mature men at turning points in their lives. I think this, Southland,and Friday Night Lights are the three best shows now that Lost is over. Keep up the good work, success takes time…..
I am elated that “Men of a Certain Age” is going into season 2. I’m 31 years old and the issues they face will be familiar to me in about 10-20 years (lol). I thoroughly enjoyed the unique humor and will be awaiting the next season.
It’s another great drama by TNT. I hope they air this series for years to come. I identify as a 43 yr old male with this show more than the others as this one reminds me of way I live day by day. My only suggestion is that it could use a little more humor in 2nd season.
