A few weeks ago my son saw Ray Romano on The Office and asked, "Isn't he on that show about those old guys?" It took me a minute to realize that he was talking about Men of a Certain Age. The delay in catching his drift was due to a couple of reasons. First and foremost, people in their 40s and 50s do not seem old to someone closer to 50 than 40. Second, Men of a Certain Age is about so much more than three old guys. Watching the season premiere last night reminded of all the reasons why it's on my list of favorites.
Among my favorite moments in the season premiere: 1) Seeing Joe in the opening scene hungrier for conversation with his buddies than he was for breakfast. 2) Seeing Joe finally satisfy that hunger in the closing scene 3) Noting how hopeful the 2 toothbrushes positioned in the same water glass was for Terry 4) Learning his "girlfriend" was also struck by how meaningful those toothbrushes were 5) Learning that Owen wouldn't give up the dealership and 6) Seeing that the connection between Joe's bookie and the stripper really was there.
I can't wait to see what the season has in store for the old guys.
