Carsten Bornemann This is my favorite show right now. It's done very subtle. But you can read very well in the faces of the actors, what's going on in their mind. Surprise here: kudos to Ray Romano, he steals the show. I thought Romano can't act, but he may very well be the best actor on a recent TV show. Everybody else is great, also. I also like the goodness of the character Terry. I know an actor who is like that. Calm, with a true good soul. It's very well written. The humor isn't in your face, but real life and very funny. Finally some people realize, that keeping it real is funny. Probably inspired by real looking BBC series like Spaced, The Office, Monty Pighton. I got so tired of really talented people producing great shows, which partly have quite sick contents, like severed body-parts all around a crime place or weird sex stuff. Because it's great, and there is almost no weirdo stuff in it, I give it a 10. Creativity without blood and gore, way to go, Ray!

cindy-cassel MOACA has become our new favorite TV show. The writing is excellent and the actors' performances are so true to the characters, it's difficult to believe they haven't actually lived the lives of Joe, Terry & Owen. This show could easily have been maudlin and depressing. Instead there are bits of unexpected humor and lighter moments of warmth among friends who aren't afraid to be honest without resorting to macho posturing.Lisa Gay Harding and Penelope Ann Miller also do a great job of portraying strong but supportive wives and mothers. Again, kudos to the writers for not resorting to the stereotypical over-aggressive or wimpy-weepy female roles for these women.We hope that this show continues to be the one we look forward to each week. It will be interesting to see how the lives of the characters change through time and become "Men of Another Age".

morris216-651-688066 I don't think this show is the next Wire, Sopranos, Dexter, or any other hit show you want to add to the list. With that being said, I do not feel that anyone can deny the realism that surrounds all of the characters. And no, I am not a 50 something that can really relate to the situations and circumstances that the characters in the show encounter.I am only 27; however, throughout my years I have learned one truth in life: No one ever knows what life has in store for them, even if they think they do. That is what this show is about. It's about the life that real people live when curveballs are thrown their way. Nothing ever turns out how you expect it, and that is the reality these characters (and most people in the world) are trying to deal with.The actors in this show accurately convey that sentimentality. Ray Ramano is surprisingly convincing in his portrayal of the newly divorced, quasi-gambleholic, newly turned single man. Scott Bakula creates a persona I have never seen from him in his role as the actor who never "made it." In his quest for that stardom that never came his way, Bakula's character was obviously insistent on maintaining his single ways, which he has come to regret (at least a little). Andre Braugher is also incredible playing a fifty year old car salesman working for his father's business. Braugher's character has done everything according to his plan (graduating and working for his father's business), yet nothing has turned out the way he thought it would.I know this review may seem vague; however, my added verbiage would not add to the show. The essence of this show is that people everywhere have to deal with problems in their lives. Whether a person is twenty or sixty, he or she has to deal with certain life issues. If you have never had to deal with these issues, you haven't really lived. That is why I can relate to this show.This is just my opinion, nothing more, nothing less.

beercourt These are flawed, likable men. It is refreshing to watch three-dimensional characters on television without having to resort to "reality" shows. Drama is not a bad word - no really it isn't. There is drama in every life, and placed into perspective it can be compelling entertainment. Well scripted drama, as opposed to the emotional breakdown of a spoiled 25 year-old heiress, makes watching television a good use of time. The comedic aspect of the show is the touch that makes this show so rich. If you're expecting to see Ray Romano rehashing Everybody Loves Raymond, you'll be surprised. Braugher and Bakula turn in creditable performances as well with outstanding support from Lisa Gay Hamilton, Richard Gant, and Jon Manfrellotti. If there were anything negative, I'd say that they are overusing the cable advantage (the ability to swear) just a little. There are times when it seems that the word "shit" is in the script just because it can be. In a show about middle-aged, middle-class men, a little profanity is authentic. But, the term "mother-shit" is not authentic by any means. Men of a Certain Age validates the humanity of men nearing 50. It paints them as real people who have passions, fears, faults, desires, and a sense of humor to cope with it all.
