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?

So happy this show is coming back because I fell in love with all the characters. My husband and I would look forward to watching it together every week. We are invested in these characters and are anxious to see how their lives will progress this year. We have every episode of “Raymond” and need our Raymond fix every so often. Through “Men” we can hang on to him and continue to follow him in his amazing talented career. Loved him in Vegas too!
I’ve been looking all over for this show…It was one of the best I’ve seen…Where is it?
My husband and I love this show. The acting and the writers are fantastic!! Would be very upset if the show did not return! Look forward to seeing again soon I hope.
My husband and I are so glad this show is coming back, but a long wait until season 2!
MOACA is one of the few well-written TV shows still out there and I’m thrilled to my sox that it’s coming back for a second season. The characters feel like “real” people and they face real problems, with lots of plot twists and turns and not too much melodrama.
I love the show, Ray Romano , in Everybody Loves Raymond , is watched all the time. Men of a certain age should definitely have many new seasons, it’ very good.
PLEASE bring the show back!!!! It’s great!!!
A very good show one of the few new show’s I actually like, hope to see a couple more seasons at least.
It is sept 21, 2010, and all the new fall tv shows are coming on. i am looking every day for the return of “Men of a certain age.” I surely hope it returns!
