“Men of a Certain Age,”  a “dramedy” premiering on TNT Monday at 10 p.m. Eastern Time, delves into the issues three friends face as they approach the “Big 5-0.”  Think of it as “Sex of City” for the Sunday football and beer set.

Joe (Ray Romano) separated from his wife because of gambling and lives in a seedy divorce motel. Owen (Andre Braugher) has a demanding wife, bad health, and works for a demanding father. And Terry (Scott Bakula) is the aging bachelor and part-time actor who wants to relive his glory years.

Q: From what we’ve read, “Men of a Certain Age” will tackle issues social workers help clients handle, including depression, health and wellness, and aging. Is it rare for a television program or movie to address the emotional and health issues men and women experience as they age?

  1. Hopefully the redeeming emotional and health issues “Men of a Certain Age” address, will not be punctuated by a host of commercials for Levitra, Cialis and the like.
