TV Junkie: "Men of a Certain Age" is a Must-Watch Tonight; THR Comedy Actress Panel
Tonight's "Men of a Certain Age" (TNT at 10pm) is a must-watch with some great performances by André Braugher and Scott Bakula, with great writing and some very funny moments as well.
Please check out our interview with WTFpod creator Marc Maron posted earlier today as he has a TV show that's in the works and that we hope actually makes it to the small screen.
