TNT's new one-hour dramedy Men of a Certain Age premiered last

who struggles with diabetes and his disappointed father, who is
also his boss at a car dealership (Andre Braugher), and Terry, a
down-on-his-luck actor forced to work as a temp and go on
humiliating auditions (Scott Bakula.) All three characters, so
