Calling it a “difficult decision,” the cable network TNT said Friday the show failed to attract a big enough audience despite its excellence. “Men of a Certain Age” averaged 2.7 million viewers for the episodes that concluded this month.
The show received a prestigious George Foster Peabody award earlier this year and was laudedfor combining humor and poignancy. This week, series co-star Andre Braugher received an Emmy nomination as best supporting actor in a drama series.
Romano, Braugher and Scott Bakula played three longtime friends each facing middle age and various life crises. Romano, the former “Everybody Loves Raymond” star, co-created “Men of a Certain Age.”
