TV Shows

So last night ended the season of one of the best shows on TV and a show that few probably really know about. I'm talking about Men of a Certain Age on TNT. This show is great and the only downfall was that the season was only 6 episodes long. It stars Ray Romano (co-creator of the show), Scott Bakula, and Andre Braugher. Who would have though the best acting job is probably done by Ray Romano. He plays a neurotic, socially awkward, recovering gambling addict party supply store owner who is recently divorced with 2 kids and pursuing a dream of playing on the Senior Golf Tour. Braugher plays a car dealership owner (After recently taking it over from his former NBA star father) with 2 kids and suffers from diabetes and sleep apnea. Bakula plays a struggling actor who has no problem getting women. Excellent show, can't say enough. First 2 season may be about 18 episodes, easy to watch. New season starts this summer.

Californication started on Sunday and was excellent as usual. This show is a guilty pleasure of mine and David Duchovny shines as the messed up novelists Hank moody. Season 4 started where season 3 ended with Hank being bailed out for assault on a police officer. However, the real star of the first episode was Addison Timlin. I have never heard of her but she will not be forgotten. Watch it and you will understand (especially if you are a guy).

Shameless started just after Californication and had a really good pilot. Emmy Rossum stars as the caretaker to numerous younger siblings while her drunk ass father player by William H. Macy just drinks. Good start, hope they keep it up.

Now time to say goodbye to V. How I looked forward to this show after being a fan of the short lived series from the 1980's. I've tried and tried to keep giving it a chance with the hope it turns around. It hasn't after the season premiere and is entering the dead pool for me. The special effects seem cheap and acting is nothing to write home about.

Next week is idol...might be the end for me on that too without Simon but I'll give Perry and Lopez a shot.
