TWENTY GOOD YEARS
Wednesdays on NBC (8:30-9 p.m. ET); Series Premiere October 11 (8:30-9 p.m. ET)

This high-energy, young-at-heart comedy follows the journey of two New Yorkers who come to the realization that life doesn't last forever.

Mismatched buddies John Mason (Emmy Award winner John Lithgow, "3rd Rock from the Sun"), an impulsive, admittedly self-absorbed, thrice-divorced surgeon recently forced into retirement, and Jeffrey Pyne (Critically acclaimed multi Emmy-nominee Jeffrey Tambor, "Arrested Development"), a widower judge who over thinks every situation, are polar opposites in every way. The one area where they seem to find common ground is the supposition that they have about 20 good years left.

With that in mind, both men vow to live each day as if it were their last, despite the consequences, or what their friends, family and peers might think. After all, when age meets anarchy, there's no time for regrets.

"Twenty Good Years" also stars Heather Burns ("Bewitched") as John's pregnant daughter Stella along with Jake Sandvig ("The Story of Us") as Jeffrey's unmotivated son Hugh.

"Twenty Good Years" is produced by Werner-Gold-Miller and Marsh McCall Productions, in association with Warner Bros. Television. Tom Werner (“The Cosby Show,” “Roseanne”), Eric Gold ("Scary Movie," “Scary Movie 2”), Jimmy Miller and Marsh McCall are the executive producers.

Look for our review of the pilot episode closer to the premiere date.

I think that Twenty Good Years is going to be a good program, at least so far it seems to be pretty good.

Pentimento · 10-19-2006, 11:12 AM

The pilot wasn't great, but I thought the second episode was better. I've always liked Lithgow and Tambor individually but I had my doubts as to whether they would make a good pair. So far it seems to be working.

George Yurich · 10-20-2006, 01:10 PM

Tambor was on 'The Ropers' television series

I am dissapointed that this show is not doing well. I really like it & think it's funny. I guess I am glad I didnt get into too many new shows this season. Chances are most if not all be going bye bye as usual.

bb25 · 11-19-2006, 11:40 PM

So what's the deal with this show? Is it cancelled? I only watched one episode, the one where Lithgow's character tries to convince Tambor's character to let him perform surgery on his foot, and I laughed the entire time! It was so hilarious! Then, like two weeks after this the show is gone...?? I hope it's not cancelled...anyone know more?

I like this show also, it's too bad they don't give it more of a chance. 30Rock got moved and I don't like it that show too much.

DLevine2 · 01-25-2007, 11:03 PM

Are they going to have Season 2 of that show this Fall? I missed 20 Good Years already.

This show died a deserved quick death. It was absolutely terrible. Lithgow has a bad knack for picking loud, overdone, unfunny sitcoms. Whatever happened to this guy? He used to be a good actor, but has done crappy TV for the last decade or so.
