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 it. It needs to come back. If the numbers were down, it must have been because of the time slot.
Great show! Realistic, endearing characters.
fabulous show my husband and i plan it as a special event now ,,, I really think Ray Romano is really sexy in this show, bring them all back!!!!!
I have to agree with the above posters. This is one of the BEST shows on. All three chracters are great. The supporting cast is very good. This show is what enjoyable adult TV is about. Hurry back season two.
“Men of a Certain Age” stands out in this current crop, filled with so many low quality shows. Thank goodness it will be renewed, and thank goodness it is not another reality show! I despise those!
We really like Men of a Certain Age, we can relate to it very well.. When is it coming back on????
I’m really glad TNT renewed Men of a Certain Age. The show is a brilliant insight and more “real” than any other show on TV right now. I was disappointed when TNT cancelled Raising the Bar, but this decision is a great one!
This show really hits the spot. Especially on a late monday night. Keep up the good work and try to make this atleast 5 or 6 seasons.
I love the show. I watch it with my husband. Glad to know it will continue.
My favorite show! Glad to see it renewed. Lots of us middle aged guys can relate .
I really enjoy this show too. It depicts the trials and tribulations that everyday people go through. Season one had many situations in which I could relate and I feel that other people can relate too. I can feel the pain and the struggles that the characters are going through. Great writers + great actors= awesome TV series. Keep up the great work and I can’t wait for season two to start.
MEN OF A CERTAIN AGE is not only the best show on TV — I believe it is one of the best series ever written! The show’s magnificent writing is exemplified by some of the most brilliant acting ever portrayed on television — BOTH dramatic AND comedic!! Each of the main characters (Joe, Terry and Owen) are, in my opinion, irreplaceable! All THREE are remarkably unique and equally endearing!! I only wish there were repeat episodes during the week — thank goodness for DVR!
I think this is one of the best show on TV. We faithfully watched it ( and we do not ususally watch TV). The characters are vert realistic, funny, and witty. The dialogues are intelligent and finally a show for real people.
I believe this is one of the bests insights into the minds of guys…what its like to be middleaged and single agaim. I know from a womans view but how nice to hear the ups and downs from a mans view. I also like to see the older version of male bonding. Good to think they have their version of sisterhood. Please please keep this show going. Maybe step up the advertising .
Loved the show. So happy it will continue. Ther are so few shows worth my time but Men is!
Most believable series in comparison to the other series in 2009-2010. Hands down, my friends and myself can not wait for it to come back on. Make it soon!
