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’m so glad to hear this! This is one show my husband and I enjoyed together.There are not enough shows with this quality of writing,so will look forward to their second season.
Loved the originality of the show. Glad to see it will be coming back. With so few quality tv available I looked forward to Monday nights. Thanks for bringing it back. It will surley catch on.
This is one of our favorite shows! It’s one of the few with quality writing. Please give this show a chance to build an audience!
My husband and I love this show! I keep watching for a return date, but haven’t seen one yet. Please….tell me that this show is coming back and when?
I like this show and now that we’ve gotten to know the characters, I am really glad it has been renewed. It’s great!
This is a terrific show, especially for people my age (a certain age!). The characters are so well-written, the stories are poignant and the dialogue is great!! Please, please, please keep making them… I have been “jonesing” for more episodes for months already!!
I enjoyed watching the show and glad that its returning
I really like the show. When does it begin again??
Love Men of a Certain Age. It is humorous, thought-provoking and truly enjoyable. My entire family and friends enjoy it as well. Please do not disappoint us by not bringing it back. It is worthy of an Emmy.
We loved the show. As a result, we’re watching the entire series of Everybody Loves Raymond that we borrow, season by season, from our library. We’re up to season4. Hope that Men of a Certain Age goes on that long.
I would use the word superb for this series. It is “one of those”. If you watch it more than a couple of times, you find yourself looking forward to the next episode. And then, Mondays were reserved for watching this program. PLEASE “Bring it back and renew for a second season”. It’s GREAT. I have told and continue to tell all my friends/relatives about it.
