meirwen_1988BBC America is sometimes a place of treasure. Back in the day (okay, not that long ago, but life was different then) one of our favorite shows to watch was a British show entitled Manchild. It was funny, and sad, and true all at the same time. It had some of the same flavor as Coupling, but without the stupid. Smart, sassy, complicated, and lots of metrosexual heterosexual male silliness, and the quiet tragedy of that life, too.
There was a pilot shot in 2007 for Showtime! that looks like it was the usual American wrecking of a Brit model. But now TNT has Men of a Certain Age, and all the promos of it make me think that it is, in fact, Manchild, re-imagined for American life. It has a promising cast, and the clips I've seen are, well, funny, and sad, and true. I am hopeful. And, best of all, it's on Monday at 10--which means I can avoid Horatio Caine!!!
