[RANK] 2 [SHOW] Men of a Certain Age [PREVIOUS] 2 [TREND] ↔ [COMMENT] 
Sometimes I get so hung up in wondering whether Men of a Certain Age will get canceled, I forget to enjoy it. Or don't focus on that enjoyment -- which seems very MOACA of me. Now I'm wondering whether the series is looking to find that perfectly bittersweet ending to it all. (See, here we go again -- but hang in there, a point is about to emerge). Mike Royce and Ray Romano know the business well, and they are too smart to let this vastly underappreciated but excellent series wither out in some manner that's not in their control. I think they made this series because they could, because they wanted to -- not to re-create the success of Everybody Loves Raymond but to take the kind of value that goes beyond its success (you know, like the money) and use the power and freedom it gave them to create something special. Sooooo, did they dream up an ending that works as both a season and series closer -- in case of a worst-case scenario? I think so. Which makes me excited to watch the remaining episodes! See what I did there? But moving forward, I'm just embracing the goodness and hoping TNT does the right thing.
