Ray Romano is making his small screen comeback with a new series called Men of a Certain Age. The comedian brought in tons of laughs for a decade on Everybody Loves Raymond, and hopefully his new show, where he plays a separated father of 2 who's struggling with getting old, will live up to his past gig.

He recounted an example (via Oprah.com), when he told a college buddy even his behind was showing his age: "That's when I knew middle age was hitting," he said. "I caught my ass in the mirror … and I'm like, 'That's not my ass.' "
The comedian said when his sitcom ended in 2005, he was pretty bummed, so it sounds like he's glad to be back on TV. "When the show was ending, [my therapist] said, 'You want to start coming twice a week?'" he said. "About three or four months after Raymond ended, I said, 'Yeah, let's start going twice a week.' He knew this was a big change."
Besides, he seems like he's got too much time on his hands. He said he enjoys watching "National Anthem" performances on YouTube: "That's another way of [knowing] you're reaching a certain age," he said. "Smokey Robinson has one from 1986. Look it up." We did it for you:
