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 am 58m Very simple – This show is the best –
Great Show. So glad it will be back on. When will the 2nd season begin?
I really enjoy this show-intelligence and humor in a great mix. Can’t wait for the second season..
I love this show and cant wait for it to come back on…
Soooo Happy the show will continue! I started watching it to see Scott Bakula ( yummy) & was thrilled it is a great show! I can hardly wait for the next season!
So well written. Woulda been a crime to see this show go. Tell your friends, people!!
SOOOO well-acted, Characters are getting better developed with every episode. Really hitting their mark with the thoughts/feelings/fascinations of men (and women) of a certain age.
Waiting for Season 2. Best program I watched all year. Please let us fans know when the next season will air. I tell all my friends what a great program this is to watch.
One of the best shows on television. A must see for any guy over 40.
i am SO glad men of a certain age got renewed for season 2. I LOVE IT!!!! it debuted on my birthday! happy birthday to me!!!
We tivo’d about the last 6 episodes, and just finished watching them (business, travel pushed our viewing back several weeks). This is a GREAT show – the acting is very real, and the supporting and guest performances are very good too – lot of recognizable faces and all seem to “fit in”, very well. This drama has a very funny side to it; after tugging on your heartstrings, it smacks yer funnybone to make it FEEL GOOD. Yeah – we really look forward to the next batch and hope for a nice, long run. GREAT show!
My favorite show last season. So glad it will return….when?
This show is far above many of the shows now available on TV. I didn’t miss a single showing and was hoping for it’s return. The characterizations were so well done that I felt I knew each of the three men. I do hope it continues for many seasons!
I am a 31 yr old wife and mother of 2 and absolutely adored this show. my husband is a man of a certain age so we could relate to many of the story lines. Love it and hope to see it back for many seasons to come!
Although I was previously not a Ray Romano fan, I do like this new show. It’s a very cute, easy-to-watch show with good writing and acting. I hope it continues.
So happy that “Men…” is continuing. Great writing. Even better acting!
