How are people feeling about "Men of a Certain Age"? I love Bakula and Braugher, but am not a Ray Romano fan. I didn't hate him as much as I thought that I would, but he's still not my fave. I might give it one more shot.

I like it. I mean, last week's had that "My exposition, let me show you it," pilot thing where it seemed like they couldn't stuff enough into the hour but I'll watch again.

Yeah. I did love the end where Braugher hip checked the smarmy sales guy into the wall to get to the customer. And he father smiled approvingly.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

I liked it. It is trying to be low-key while still being ABOUT something, and that's a hard balance to maintain. I will give it a few episode to find its feet because there was a lot in there to like.

Awesome, yeah. Although, considering my dad and my brother are wrangling about a family business, too, I'm surprised I want more, but it's Braugher and Ossie Davis, right?

Not Ossie Davis, Richard Gant, who ooks very much like a younger Ossie Davis and is very similar in style. And gruffness, and blackness :) Ossie is no longer with us, tho.

Well, I would hope he would take that as a compliment rather than thinking I think y'all look alike. My bad, though.

I'm sure he would, i'm just teasing. Like I said, he does look very much like a young Ossie Davis. When you said Ossie Davis, I thought "yeah" and then "wait, Ossie Davis is dead" .

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Oh, I need to make a note of him for my site. Marked.

Yeah, it was funny. And I'd rather get busted for that by someone who knows me than a stranger who thinks I am being an asshole, rather than just ignorant. Strong resemblance, though, I think.
