Top Turner Execs on Canceling "Men of a Certain Age"
6/7/2012

Steve Koonin: I think we've only really disagreed once in 10 years, on whether we should keep "Men of a Certain Age". We both deeply loved the show, but we were the studio. If we were only licensing it, we probably would have taken another run.
Instead, we were taking the full brunt of an extraordinarily expensive show, and at the end of the day, I had to make a business call that bothers me terribly.
Michael Wright: In retrospect, I respect the decision. I thought it was one of the best things we'd ever put on, and it meant a lot to the perception of the network, but this is a business.
