Men of a Certain Age

Being a man approaching a certain age and a fan of Scott Bakula of Quantum Leap fame, I was especially looking forward to seeing the pilot for TNT's Men of a Certain Age. I really enjoyed it. Ray Romano of Everybody Loves Raymond fame makes his return to television as Executive Producer and co-star of the series featuring three high school friends dealing with life's problems at middle age.

Romano plays the role of a recently divorced father of two with an apparent gambling addiction and dreams of being a professional golfer. Bakula is an easy going actor now relegated to bit roles and infomercials but still gets all the women while Andre Braugher is a stressed out husband and father selling cars at his father's dealership.

Although some of my good friends from high school live less than an hour away, I rarely communicate with them even by email. They have young kids and busy lives. That's life. Watching these three friends interact really makes me miss those guys. Look for the series Monday nights on TNT at 9pm CST.
