A new series, Men of a Certain Age, premiered on TNT last night. And it appears that this show might already be one of the smarter programs on television. The first show mixed real-life struggles with a light touch of humor and irony throughout. Nice to see a television series with some appeal to people who are over 40. Also good to have something on commercial TV that doesn't contributed to the constant dumbing down of America via the boob tube. Even the musical soundtrack to the show was solid. My only complaint is in having to wade through all the advertisements. Wish Men of a Certain Age was on commercial-free HBO, although it's nice not to have to pay extra to see quality entertainment. We'll see if the show holds up throughout an entire season. So far, so good.
