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?

Can’t wait for the new season, but why so late? I read it won’t be on until November 2010. Also, some say new season will be 12 episodes, some say only 10. The plots, the acting, the way the whole thing was put together made this an OUTSTANDING show. My husband and I were addicted practically from the first scene. So many other shows follow a formula so that they seem to put out replicas of each other throughout the season. MOACA was unique in that each episode was fresh, even if following a set storyline. We need more shows… Read more »
My husband and I saw every episode — We are VERY happy to hear there will be another season!
Great new show. The writers are following the same style as ELR but edgy and funny. This is one show that should make it for a lot of years. Hopefully they keep them around. Best new show of the season!!
My family and I love the show and are very glad it will be returning for a second season. We are sick of all the stupid reality shows!
I absolutely loved the show and will be looking for season two.
Great show, cast, and writing! Well done.
Great Show!…..Please keep this one going….Us adults need something to watch, and there are a few of us out here. Thaks for this creative show.
This show is great! The chemistry amongst the three actors is superb and right on and the supporting cast is splendid. Television should hold out and wait for quality programs such as MOACA finally slinks into the minds of thinkers.
When?? Can’t wait for the new season of Men…TNT’s 100 days of drama is closing so when are our men coming back?
Waiting for the season to start!… WHEN? great show, Haven’t been hooked on a series before but this one is great!
Great show, can’t wait for season two to start. Beats having another stupid reality/dance show.
I am very glad Men of a Certain Age is being renewed. It is a smart and funny show.
It’s about time we are finally having a “NORMAL” T.V show ! I am so sick of all the reality shows. This is like a breath of fresh air! Come on season 2. I can relate to the characters.
Thank goodness for a series about grown-ups. Great cast and excellent writing. Thoroughly enjoyed this series. Waiting for the next season.
Love the show!!!! It is written by brilliant people..It makes you Laugh out loud, but yet is so relatable to so many of life’s challenges and struggles. Can’t wait for the new season, the characters are pure genious!!!! Dave and Kathleen Savage
