I watched the premiere episode of "Men of a Certain Age" and I have to say I was not impressed.
The main characters are a 48-year-old car salesman who can't close the deal any more and is still working at his father's dealership, a 48-year-old store owner who is separated from his wife because he has a gambling problem and still dreams of becoming a pro golfer, and a 48-year-old out-of-work actor who sleeps with women half his age and doesn't seem to care that he has no regular income.
Which of these characters are we supposed to care about? They're a bunch of losers who look like they'll only get worse as the years go by.
I can't see where they can have anything at all in common, yet they hang around together all the time and have lunch every day at the same diner, sitting in the same booth, in the same positions. Talk about being stuck in a rut! I doubt I'll be tuning in to any future episodes because the first one bored me to tears and annoyed the living daylights out of me.
