Scott Bakula Teams Up With Ray Romano And TNT

The 90s were the golden age of TV in my opinion. So I’ve only been alive since the mid-70s, my opinion still matters, right? Think about it – Seinfeld, 3D Rock From the Sun, Friends, The Simpsons, Sliders, and who could forget the best show ever - Quantum Leap.

Seriously, Quantum Leap was my absolute favorite show ever. I loved Dr. Sam Beckett like you wouldn’t believe. His combination of sincerity and his desire to really help the people whose lives he entered was inspiring. And, it didn’t hurt that he was hot. I've been wondering what he's been up to, and I guess now I know!

Scott Bakula is the actor who played Dr. Sam Beckett, and when he got the role as Captain Jonathan Archer on Enterprise, I couldn’t help but tune in. I didn’t think it was the best incarnation of the Star Trek empire, but it wasn’t bad. It was also on at some ungodly hour in the middle of the night on my local Fox affiliate, so I only got a chance to watch if one of my kids woke me up at the right time. (This was before we got a DVR…)

Anyway, the real point of this story is that the wonderful Scott Bakula is going to be starring alongside Ray Romano and Andre Braugher in a new show on TNT. I reported that Ray Romano was getting a new show back in April, but it didn’t have a title at that point.

Well, it does have a title now, and it’s going to be Men of a Certain Age. Hollywood Reporter says, "Age" explores the bonds of male friendship through the eyes of three college buddies (Romano, Braugher, Bakula) who are in their 40s. Bakula's character Terry is a handsome, intelligent but struggling-to-make-it actor.”

You better believe I’ll be watching!
