starting tonight at 2am ET on TNT, reruns of Men of A Certain Age (the ep on 7/13 says it starts at 2:10am)

TV -- Men of a Certain Age reruns

For those of you who missed anything, first run, TNT is re-airing 3 eps of MOCA July 6,7, & 8 at 2am ET. No news on the rerunning of any other episodes - my DVR only schedules two weeks in advance. Will let you know if they show up.

Sightings -- Scott at Premiere

Scott attends the opening night of "Into the Heights" at the Pantages Theatre in LA, June 23

While I've decided Sightings is a better category title than "Around Town," (for live appearances and stuff, that you have already missed or couldn't attend) I forgot that Pictures would have worked, too...

Sightings -- Scott, Shatner, and Shatner's New Documentary

Didn't quite have a category for this one (fixed that). The other day, a fan took a picture of Scott and William Shatner at a restaurant. While observing that "Scott has finally met Shatner," fans wondered what was up.
This article explains.

...as it turns out, is the concept behind his forthcoming Star Trek documentary, The Captains.

“I’m talking to all the captains of Star Trek,” explains Shatner. “I’m hoping to find things out about them that even they themselves don’t know. And in the process find out about myself.”

The article also contains the aforementioned photo (shot by an anonymous fan) and a Tweet from Shatner.

The documentary is being shot for a network in Canada. There is no mention as to whether it will air in the US.

Review -- Praise for MOCA

Houston Chronicle praises MOCA.

Most Surprising Series: Men of a Certain Age on TNT. Did anybody see this coming? The drama, starring Ray Romano, Andre Braugher and Scott Bakula, managed to be poignant and funny (an incredibly difficult mix to get exactly right) about men having midlife crises. Easily the best portrayal on television of men dealing with their second acts and all the people -- friends, wives, lovers, kids -- who populate that stretch.

Quotes -- Emmy contenders and such

Found this without even a google alert. Though it might be a couple of days old and maybe I posted it before, but since I don't remember reading it, maybe not. Emmy Contenders Scott and Andre talk about Men of a Certain Age, auditioning, and each other.

DVD -- Chuck Season 3 on DVD & Blu-ray September 7

thanks to Julia and to ChuckTV.net

DVD -- Men of a Certain Age

No, I don't know, but Amazon has a page where you can sign up to be notified. And there are cool reviews to read too.(I'm just emotional from the season finale of Glee.)

Men Of A Certain Age - and the Emmys

I'd heard that it premiered too late in the year to be eligible.
Maybe not.
TNT's Emmy Campaign Mailer

"Men of a Certain Age" is the network's best Emmy hope among its newer series because it features past multiple Emmy champs Ray Romano ("Everybody Loves Raymond") and Andre Braugher ("Homicide," "Thief") plus four-time nominee Scott Bakula ("Quantum Leap"). The Los Angeles Times calls it a "miraculously good show about a stage of life that is too often either ignored or overplayed."

Reminder -- Scott on Chuck, Monday night

Scott will be on the 2 hour season finale of Chuck tomorrow, May 24, on NBC from 8-10pm ET.

Also, Chuck has been picked up for a 4th Season (thank you, Chuck fans!) of 13 episodes. Please get your friends to watch. Fan activism got us a season 3, and now we have a season 4, but the ratings are still not that great and generally, the reason the show was picked up was that NBC is in a post Leno at 10 fiasco and doesn't have a lot of hit shows anymore anyway. No one watches NBC, no one sees promos on NBC, no one watches *more* NBC. It's sorta like being on UPN! Only sadder....

Upfronts -- Brief Comment from Scott

I've been so busy this week that I didn't even consider that Scott would be at the Upfronts in NY, cause, when I think of Upfronts, I think of major broadcast networks.

I also admit to not reading my google alerts - I thought they were all about Chuck. I have skimmed the headers at SBFF and satisfied myself that Scott is not about to appear in a Broadway Play or Benefit or anything else you are about to miss, so here is one of the quotes from the upfronts (and remember - Chuck tomorrow at 8pm ET on NBC - two hours. There will be an automated reminder tomorrow before 6. I hope. It depends on an auto-tweet and Twitter talking to Blogger. Hmmm... Maybe not. I think Blogger talks to Twitter.

Men funnyman Ray Romano closed the upfront appearing with his co-stars Scott Bakula and Andre Braugher and joking that although his show may not attract the youngest demographic, he and his cast were still going to "keep it real."


"So I'm gonna get a rash and you're gonna get a groin pull," he said to Braugher.

Request to Scott fans

The ratings for Chuck last night were... significantly "less good." We therefore request that you watch the show live (the networks get bigger ad dollars to live than for DVR ratings) and try to get your friends to watch. The more viewers we have, the better our chances for a 4th season (and Schwartz & Fedak blessing us with more Scott.)
thanks

Men of a Certain Age "surpassed" expectations

In an Interview with Broadcasting & Cable’s Melissa Grego, Turner Entertainment Networks President Steve Koonin spoke in absolutely glowing terms when it came to Men of a Certain Age:

Men of a Certain Age just wrapped its first season this week. You’ve ordered a second. Did it perform as you hoped?

This show surpassed every expectation I had. Our criteria are critical success, for which we got a check-plus; adding value to sales clients and cable affiliates, that’s a check-plus; and potential in ratings, [another] check-plus. It couldn’t have performed better than it did

this is from Broadcasting & Cable by way of TVByTheNumbers

Ratings -- Men of a Certain Age, Finale

TV By The Numbers gives the final ratings for MOCA.

TNT’s critically acclaimed series Men of a Certain Age closed its first season out with 2.6 million viewers (Live + Same Day) Monday night, with outstanding growth across the board when compared to the previous week’s episode. The season finale audience is expected to grow substantially when final Live + 7 data is available in two weeks. Current blended data shows the series averaging 4 million viewers for its first season.

thanks to Helene for the reminder, as I did not post this when I first saw it, which was apparently... today, though I could have sworn it was longer ago.

Interview -- More from the Chuck Phone Q&A

NBC confirmed a while back that Scott Bakula would be around for one of the later episodes of the season. Is there anything you can say about what he's doing or additionally anyone else that we are familiar with that might be making a return appearance before the season's out?

Joshua Gomez: He's doing awesome work I can tell you that much. Get Scotty Bak.

Zachary Levi: I know this is a spoiler and we're not supposed to talk about it but it turns out Scott Bakula is my dad. Yeah, I don't know. He really is doing fantastic work. I can't even tell you how much I love Scotty Bak. That guy is not only super talented but he is so fun. Like he's like a little kid like... You know, we'll just break into song or do funny voices and but he's such a pro like just like to a T. You know, just always on his moments, always diving into this character, Steven Bartowski who is very odd and kitschy and quirky and brilliant and, you know, and he brings it every time, every scene and it's such a pleasure to work opposite him. And, you know, and Josh gets to work with him as well so it's nice when you have a guest star that, you know, kind of traverses both the spy and personal life.

TV -- Three Eps of Chuck Confirmed by "NBC Rep"

Okay, I'll buy it now. The NBC rep is unnamed, but he did say the word "three." :-)

Can you talk about what Scott Bakula is doing this season?
Gomez: He's doing awesome work, I can tell you that much.

Levi: I know this is a spoiler and we're not supposed to talk about it, but it turns out he's my dad. He really is doing fantastic work -- I can't even tell you how much I love him. ... He's always on his moments, he dives into this character of Steven Bartowski, who's very odd and quirky and brilliant. He brings it every time.

How many episodes will he be in?
Levi: Can we say? I believe he is doing three episodes at the end. [An NBC rep confirms that Bakula will be on three episodes "in the very last part of the season."]

thanks to the NBC rep and Hottest Celebrity Photos 2010 (?)

Chuck - 2 eps or 3?

While we were on the phone this afternoon, reading the internet to each other (I swear) there was a phone press conference with people from Chuck and a few people said Scott was going to be in three episodes, 17 thru 19, but Scott had said 2 and last year he said 3, and was in 19-22 but not 20, so I'll have to read the summary and see if 17-19 actually means 3 episodes or it's an assumption. Stay tuned notes from chucktv.net

Scott Bakula (or “Scotty Back” as Zac calls him) is 1) awesome, 2) prone to break out in song on set, and 3) appearing in episodes 3.17-3.19.

Quote -- re: SAG Awards

From USA Today

"I love the communal feeling of these awards," said Scott Bakula of TNT's Men of a Certain Age. "What we are as actors, for better and for worse, is visible. So it's just great when we use that visibility to do something good, like the telethon. I mean, come on, we are so lucky in this business. To do something for other people when they need it most just feels good."

This week's ep of Men of a Certain Age will feature the wonderful Robert Loggia, who had to remind me that he had done *two* movies with Scott, when I stupidly told him how much I loved "the" movie he did with Scott (he asked "which one?") oops. For the record, I saw Necessary Roughness a few times but I've seen Mercy Mission uncountable times.

I just heard Ray Romano on the SAG Red Carpet say "We're finishing editing the last one this week, and we got renewed, so we're ready to start tomorrow on the next one." (Ready, but I don't think that's the plan)

Fandom -- A thought from the trenches

Actually this is the happy part of fandom, but if you have never experienced it before...

Have you ever experienced Too Much Scott?
It's a rare condition that can only be contracted if you are in a small apartment with 4 or 5 other Scott fans who are trying to
play Scott videos
play Scott songs
show you their pictures of Scott
give you tapes of Scott singing
and
tell you stories about having met Scott
all At The Same Time.

The symptoms of this disease are:
You turn down the offer of the audio tapes of Scott singing with his church choir (or whatever) because you are so overloaded, you are not thinking straight.
I never did get those tapes.... but the pictures I was shown (this was in the pre-digital camera days) were very nice
Kim, if you ever see this, thanks for sharing your apartment!

TNT renews 'Men of a Certain Age'

TNT has renewed its Ray Romano freshman dramedy "Men of a Certain Age." The network has ordered 10 episodes for a second round. TNT called it an "easy decision." Though "Men" dropped sharply from its premiere, its last few episodes have been fairly stable, averaging around 3 million viewers.

MORE SCOTT ON CHUCK

Scott's coming back!

Scott Bakula has signed on to reprise his role as Chuck’s spy daddy, Steve, for multiple episodes.

Pops was last seen in the season 2 finale fleeing daughter Ellie’s wedding reception for parts unknown.

Chuck exec producer Josh Schwartz calls Bakula’s comeback arc — which would fall at the end of the spy comedy’s third season (premiering this Sunday!) — “the biggest thing we’ve ever done on the show.”

Bakula is currently starring in TNT’s Men of A Certain Age. With production wrapped on that show’s first season, Bakula was free to return to Chuck.

here's the source (Ausiello) thanks to Elaine
(I did mention it was Chuck week, didn't I? Nice how that worked out. Thank you Josh Schwartz, and, of course, Scott)
And please watch the season 3 premiere, Sunday 9 to 11pm ET on NBC and Monday at 8pm

Ratings -- Overall, with a spin, courtesy of TNT

TNT's view of MOCA ratings
The entire quote is from the press release.
This past week's ratings put MOCA in 131st place after several eps of SpongeBob, but I'm going to need you to find that post (same site) cause I just saw a link about Donny Osmond's new radio show.

TNT’s new hit series Men of a Certain Age continues to perform extremely well, with the Monday, Dec. 28, episode delivering 3,123,000 viewers; 2,345,000 households; 1,186,000 adults 18-49; and 1,526,000 adults 25-54.

* The series also enjoyed a great performance this week. The Monday, Jan. 4, episode garnered 3,096,000 viewers; 2,365,000 households; 1,290,000 adults 18-49; and 1,693,000 adults 25-54. It ranked as ad-supported cable’s top entertainment program for the time period among viewers, households and adults 25-54.

* Men of a Certain Age has earned outstanding growth in DVR viewing, with the Dec. 7 premiere of the series growing its total audience by 36% in a comparison of Live + 7 to Live viewing.

* The Dec. 7 premiere, which holds position as ad-supported cable’s top new series launch of 2009 among households and adults 25-54, also boosted its delivery significantly in DVR viewing among those two categories. Households grew by 30%, and adults 25-54 grew by 43% when comparing Live + 7 to Live viewing. Meanwhile, the premiere episode also grew its delivery of adults 18-49 by 40% over Live viewing.

* For the first two episodes combined, Live + 7 vs. Live viewing of Men of a Certain Age delivered 34% growth among total viewers, 30% among households, 40% among adults 18-49 and 41% among adults 25-54.

I'm avoiding spoilers at every turn,  so I can't give you details, but needn't remind you tonight is episode 5 (of 10) of MOCA on TNT (@10pm and 1am). Scott's in it, so what do details matter? Ratings were down a bit last week, so tell a friend.

I'm really enjoying the show. So much, in fact, I must remind myself Chuck is returning next Sunday at 9. and 10. and Monday at 8.

I, too, promised NBC I'd ask you to watch. The Season 2 DVDs will be in stores tomorrow. $36.99 appears to be the best price (please email me if you find something better - there is a link at the top of the page that says Email Pam)

It's Chuck Week here at Bakula News
