Oh, TNT, say it isn’t so. I just read in “Entertainment Weekly” that one of my favorite shows of all time, Men of a Certain Age, is being canceled after only two seasons, and really short seasons at that. What a shame, when so many truly stupid shows, mostly reality shows, go on and on and on. I hope some more reasonable network will pick it up and let the Men continue to age and make us laugh and cry. Here’s what TNT had to say: “TNT has been proud to be a part of Men of a Certain Age for two seasons. While the show has featured great storytelling and impeccable performances, the audience simply hasn’t built to the point where we can continue the series. This was an extremely difficult decision for us. We wish Ray Romano, Mike Royce and the terrific cast and crew of Men of a Certain Age the very best and look forward to exploring new programming possibilities in the future.” How could they have expected huge ratings when they tucked this show away on late Tuesday nights?
I've always collected errors in diction, things people mis-hear, like "windshield factor" and "the next store neighbors." Years ago, one of my students wrote an essay in which she described the world as being harsh and cruel, "a doggy-dog world." I've since come to think she may have been more astute and accurate than those who describe it in the usual way. My Stories - Mobridge Memories -
