Men of a Certain Age
One benefit of being home sick is that you can catch up on TV...I knocked off the final three episodes of this season's Men of a Certain Age today.
What a great show! I started watching it because I heard good things and they were true. Ray Romano, Andre Braugher and Scott Bakula are all excellent in the main roles as three good buddies trying to get through life.
Ray Romano can really act. He's brilliant as Joe, a divorced Dad with a gambling addiction. Watching him stumble through dating and parenting is endearing and believable.
Braugher is no surprise in his role. He's very steady as Owen who works under the shadow of his Father at the family car dealership while finding comfort in food (not good for a diabetic).
Bakula plays the Peter Pan of the group as Terry, an actor who's never quite made it but still trying to live the lifestyle of years ago by smoking dope and bedding women half his age.
Nice supporting cast, too, especially John Manfrellotti as Joe's bookie.
I highly recommend catching this one in re-runs or online. There are only 10 episodes to see and they're well worth watching.
