    Thumbs up from Sweden!
    Even though i'm a woman who just turned 25 i can still appreciate this clever show and it's brilliant cast. Ray Romano has been making me laugh since the beginning of ELR, which in my opinion is the best sitcom ever made. I wish this show a lot of success for many years to come.

    This is everything a TV comedy show should be - funny, but also real and smart. I'm a young guy (21) and even I found this show awesome even though it's not specifically aimed at my age group.

    Okay so I like this show. It's one of my favorites. Actually it's my absolute favorite. This season is off to a great start and I can't want to see what happens.

    Men of a Certain Age deals with an area that has been sorely missing on TV. Middle aged men who are trying to cope with the realities of no longer being young and facing the existential problems with their attendant anxieties, shadows and light.
    The characters are portrayed with both a seriousness and a sense of humor. The acting is superb and mature. The writing is excellent.

    Writing about the real world ... for television. MOACA is so good that I'm reminded of my cousins complaint of Jurassic Park --- that there weren't special effects -- they obviously used real dinosaurs.

    This is one of those really great under the radar shows that not everyone has heard about. Andre Braugher is especially amazing. Props to Ray Ramano for making something so different to Everybody Love's Raymond.

    A wonderful show! As real to life as anything on air at this point. It is refreshing to see a show catch the roller coaster of emotions and feelings one undertakes during middle age. This show is a definite must see. Kudos to the writers, production company and viewers that all enjoy this as much as I do.

    It is great to see a show where the characters and their situations are believable.

    It is an excellent show and I was shocked when I read that TNT cancelled it. It's a witty, bitter-sweet comedy with an amazing cast. The camraderie between the three main characters is really believable. Scripting is first-class too. Overall, it's an intelligent show for an intelligent audience - it's not laugh-out-loud-sitcom funny, but it's funny AND touching at the same time.

    It's very entertaining in its low-key, waist-widening ways. [20 Dec 2010, p.44]

    They're not making evolutionary leaps but these men do show enough signs of progress that viewers who appreciated their struggles and triumphs in the first season will have renewed reason to cheer them on in season two.

    Like its vague title, Men possesses a certain charm that's not always easy to characterize, but is, thankfully, easy to watch. And based on season two, the show, at least, is aging quite gracefully.
