Showcasing the Valley

For two seasons, TNT's "Men of a Certain Age" has been showcasing the San Fernando Valley as it really is.Bob Strauss in the Daily News,

Ray Romano, Scott Bakula and Andre Braugher star as three longtime buddies coping with midlife crises during scenes filmed at the Valley's golf courses and car dealerships, and along its mountain trails and endless streets.

Created by Romano and his "Everybody Loves Raymond" writer-producer Mike Royce, the Monday night comic drama views Valley life as an essentially all-American phenomenon, adjacent to the glamorous world over the hills but a distinct place of its own.
