I am of Italian descent, and in Hollywood, we are the poor man'a bevy of creativity. We do have a couple of halfway decent directors, Francis Ford Coppola and Martin Scorcesse, they aren't as good as any Jewish director, right? Such a situation may pertain to the show "Men of a Certain Age" The format is very intriguing. The premise being, "I still have plenty of sex appeal even though I am over 50, don't I? To which the person required to respond to that question, retorts "How much money do you have in your pocket?" The whole genre is set up whereby sexual ambiguity is the assassin which rattles the resolve of a couple of sedentary and assertively middle age reprobates! This rancor coerces them to retrench into a metaphorically fetal position! Now enters the fiasco of being timid and taciturn one moment, and loquacious and intrepidly lewd the next! Theatrics of this nature definitely establish a formidable state of flux for the "one a day" casual dating scene! This show jumps around, and obsesses on unofficial ground rules which only make casual dating infinitely more difficult. The episode I saw last night had Ray Romano's date receiving a cell phone call from the bar, from a friend of hers, to give the verdict on her blind date, She said the guy (Ray Romano) was "sexy". After thorough rumination of this entire scenario, I just want to say one thing; Over 50!! Sexy? Women are going to have to explain that one to me. Ray Romano wound up with a cut under his eye, it is almost as if his insecurities to mid-life crisis dating have the ability to physically bludgeon him!! I like what I saw, however,I think the dialog should be more acrimonious! Also, there should be a largess of fatalistic repercussions which rear their ugly head far more emphatically, and with it, they should contain a wealth of abominable consequences!! In the episode I saw, everything was extremely mollified! This series is funny! Scott Bakula ("Quantum Leap") and Andre Baugher, are very cohesive on this show!! Nevertheless, "Men of a Certain Age" could be funnier!! Then again, what do you expect? The director is Catholic!! How does the expression go? He's more nervous than a television stand-up comic on a Jewish holiday!!
