Old Dogs & New Tricks (2011)
Funny and Touching.
I was prepared to love this for the comedy; what I didn't expect is the heart felt and touching presence throughout each and every episode. Leon Acord brings Nathan to life with a deft touch that makes me pause consistently so I can think about what I've just seen. I came for Nathan and fell in love with Nelson (!), Brad, Al - Muscles, Ross and all the other 'characters' that make this series so great. I have laughed many times, and teared up too, at the actions and motivations of this group of friends who just want what everyone wants, you know - the simple things in life: friends, love, acceptance, health and a good brunch. If anyone is giving this beloved serious a low review then in my opinion, they haven't really watched it at all. They have some kind of personal agenda that precludes understanding a lovely series like this one.
