Show Summary

EDIT

Twenty Good Years revolves around John Mason and Jeffrey Pyne, two polar opposites who disagree on just about everything. The only thing upon which they do agree is that they only have about twenty good years left to live. At John's birthday party, they both decide to spend their last good years doing things they've never done before. The series is produced by Warner Bros. Television, in association with Werner-Gold-Miller, and distributed by the NBC Television Network.

It was a good show

8.0

By EWil1, Jun 05, 2007

I liked the show so why did NBC cancelled it!!!

They couldn't cancelled that horrid crap we called "Joey"!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

But this show had potential and if you ask me they should still keep it on air!!!

There's not a lot for me to review about this show because NBC only gavethis show 4 friggin episodes!!!!!!

But what I don't understand is how they gave Joey 46 episodes that were very horrific!!!!!

NBC should have never let that s*** through the cracks!!!!!

Anyway, I may never see this show again.

Hey, I just remember this show right before I worote this review!!

Well, I miss 20 Good YEARS

NBC should have gave Joey 4 Good Episodes before cancellation!!moreless

I watched the pilot, with every intent to like it. Hey, I tried, ok?

1.0

I liked John Lithgow's performance on "3rd Rock" (well, some of it), so I thought, give it a shot. And what a complete waste of time this half hour of watching the pilot has been.

It is truly a pain to watch. Clumsy and amateurish acting, no sign of a director who knows how to keep a show together, and seriously bad writing. John Lithgow's pompous style was suitable for his character in "3rd Rock", now he seems like a one trick pony. I don't buy the thing about his character being a surgeon, at all. The other old guy, whatever his name is, should just not be allowed on television. No presence, no charisma, nothing. Ok, I do understand that his role probably demands neither presence nor charisma, but... oh, I don't know, the whole thing is so bad that I'm already sorry for the 5 minutes I spent writing this so far. That's time I'll never get back, just like those wasted 30 minutes watching the pilot.moreless

Interesting premise - great actors - funny show

8.2

By bestec, Jan 03, 2007

With all the CSIs, Criminal Intent and other drek on TV, this show was a refreshing standout. Unfortunately, the network never gave it much of a chance. I repeat the following only because the site requires a 100 word minimum. Bring it back. Bring it back. Bring it back. Bring it back. Bring it back. Bring it back. Bring it back. Bring it back.Bring it back. Bring it back. Bring it back. Bring it back. Bring it back. Bring it back.Bring it back.

I loved the show. I feel like it is better than most shows on TV today! I love the main characters. They had a chemistry that made the whole show seem like real life.moreless

This was the best show that has come out in a long time. It was light and funny, but still said a lot about life. It gave me a chance to look realistically at life and laugh at myself. It was great in every way! Please at least air the rest of the episodes!

I loved it! Bring it back, please!

Maybe this is for a middle age audience but...?

8.5

By nicolab453, Nov 18, 2006

Maybe you have to be 50 to appreciate this new comedy but i find Jeffrey Tamborn and John Lithgow to be a terrific combination and it's one of the few sitcoms I've seen my husband actually laugh out loud. Give it a chance people. It deserves one. The episode about the elbow and Jeffrey's description of why he was afraid to go to the hospital was hilarious especially since we've known people who do pranks like that. I hope it doesn't end up being cancelled for lack of interest. I've been telling people about it but very few people even seem to know it's out there.moreless
