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?

Great SHow!!
Men of Certain Age is awesome. Taped the shows and hadn’t watch them and then I couldn’t stop watching one episode after the other. Can’t wait until the Season Finale. My attention was kept each entire episode. I love the acting and the characters. All actors are great, but I really enjoy Andre Braugher’s character. He is a great actor. I really do hope this show continues. Looking forward to hearing when Season 2 will begin.. Does anyone know?
Unfortunately, this show will be killed for all the reasons that make it the best new show on tv. Ray Romano has created an original concept in this show and nailed it with the cast. “Men” should be credited for more than the cult show it’s destined to end up being because viewership won’t be enough to make it the huge hit it should be. Wake up people, this is a bona-fied diamond in the rough. How many Idols and Survivors do we have to have shoved down our throats before we can get an intelligent, thoughtful and hilarious program… Read more »
I absolutely love this show and I love the 3 main characters. My husband and I love this and please, please bring back a series, 3 and 4 and 5. Follow in Dexter’s footsteps and keep going.
My husband and I both enjoy this show.It’s nice to have a show on t.v. for grown ups! Keep this show on!!
Finally a show for grownups! Hopefully Men of a Certain Age will continue for several seasons. Just like Seinfeld, it took time to catch on and then look what happened. Please don’t be too hasty.
Just finished watching the latest episode and did a search to see if TNT had made the “right decision” on season two. Very glad to see they renewed the show!
I simply LOVE Men of a Certain age. Ray Romano is so much better in this series than he was in Everybody Love Raymond. He is more real and so much more relaxed. The love the chemistry of the three friends. I love the story lines. I love the casual way the stories progress…with humor as well as a serious side. I love to hate the owner/father of the car dealership. I have been searching the web to see if this show has been canceled or not and am just thrilled to find that it has been picked up for… Read more »
I don’t have TNT but I’ve watched every episode online and love it. I can’t remember the last time I enjoyed a new TV show this much. GREAT call by TNT to pick it up. The show is funny, touching, real and well written, acted and directed. Did I leave anything out?

Men of a Certain Age is the BEST SHOW on TELEVISION!! It’s brilliant, touching, funny … hope it goes on for a long time! Thank goodness it’s been renewed!! I’m thrilled.
Love Men of a Certain Age! The characters are great and getting to know them more with each episode is something I look forward to! So happy it’s coming back for a second season and hope it continues for a long time.
