From Everybody Loves Raymond Emmy winners Ray Romano and Mike Royce comes a character-based series entitled Men of a Certain Age, which gives a wry look at what it means to be a guy dealing with mid-life crisis. The series explores this very premise through a divorced father, a bachelor and an overstressed husband, who all have been best friends since college, but are now in their 40s navigating through the second act of their lives.
Romano, who also serves as executive producer along with Royce, Rory Rosegarten and Cary Hoffman, stars as Joe, a slightly neurotic divorced father of two who once had a dream of being a professional golfer but now runs a party store. He currently lives in a hotel and tries to connect with kids Lucy and Albert, while struggling with the gambling problem that may have ended his marriage.
Andre Braugher (
Homicide: Life on the Street) plays Owen, an overstressed husband and father of three who endures constant criticism from his father, for whom he works as a car salesman. Though he does everything he can to climb the sales ladder at his father's car dealership, he struggles to keep his cool over the seemingly endless renovation project in the home he can barely afford.
Last but not the least,
Men of a Certain Age gives viewers a glimpse of what life is for bachelor Terry, played by Scott Bakula (
Quantum Leap). Terry is a struggling actor who often dates much younger women. Though he breezes through life and scoffs at domestic issues, his often wonders if his own single life is all it's cracked up to be.
