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?

I love the show! I hope it has a good long run.
I loved the show and Ray Ramono>A very believable show with a varied difference from the 3 actors.
Love it…..can’t wait for season 2. Please hurry.
So glad MOACA is coming back. Best show of 2009! Deserved to be renewed! Thanks TNT!
The show is excellent!
I rarely watch television anymore. ..nothing of much interest. I recorded this for my husband who is a Ray Ramano fan. We both enjoy it! Horray for something intelligent, funny, sad…it’s got it all. Bring on Season 2…3, 4, 5…..
Cant wait for the new series = hurry up please and put it on the screen
I thought the show was excellent. It is one of those shows where you laugh and then you think to yourself, oh, that isn’t really funny. It is sometimes painful to see what these men are going through. The writing was insightful,and the actors were believeable. Thank you for renewing the show. I’m really tired of the same old stuff.
Bring it back! Pleeeeeeeeeeeease!!!!!!!!!!
Absolutely love this show! Looking forward to another season….so happy they renewed it.
I’m happy to know that the show will be returning. My husband and I enjoyed watching this show together. Goodbye reality TV!
I watch very little TV and truly look forward to watching “Men of a Certain Age”. It is well written, intelligent and the interaction between these men seems authentic. I love the cast and the life crisies the characters find themselves in. Well done series. Glad you are bringing it back. When does this season begin? I can’t wait!
