Romano and Royce serve as executive producers, along with Rory Rosegarten and Cary Hoffman. TNT has ordered a 12-episode second season of the series, which ranked as one of the top-rated original shows on the network.
Men of a Certain Age Season 1 on DVD also marks a first-ever partnership between TNT and its sister company, Cartoon Network Enterprises (CNE), the DVD production and licensing division of the kids television network. TNT and CNE have partnered to create and market the DVD, leveraging CNE’s expertise in DVD production and marketing. To support the DVD release, television advertising will air on TNT and TBS, and a national online campaign will target entertainment and women-targeted sites such as People.com, Oprah.com and EW.com, among others. Warner Home Video will handle distribution.
Men of a Certain Age focuses on Joe (Romano), a friendly, 40-something, slightly neurotic, recently separated father of two who had dreams of being a professional golfer but instead owns and runs a party store. He has two best friends: Owen (Braugher), an overstressed husband and father who is a car salesman at his dad’s dealership; and Terry (Bakula), an offbeat, handsome, intelligent and still-struggling-to-make-it actor. The three men have been best friends since college but now, in their 40s, are navigating through the second act of their lives.
