“MEN OF A CERTAIN AGE” (10 p.m., TNT): Some things really do get better with age — like this humorous slice-of-life drama about three guys tiptoeing their way through the minefield of midlife. In Season 1, the show became more enjoyable as the characters deepened and the angst lessened. Now “Men” appears poised to become one of TV’s true gems. As Season 2 opens, we find Joe (Ray Romano) wading back into the dating pool and trying to rekindle his dream of becoming a professional golfer. Meanwhile, Owen (Andre Braugher) is starting to regret his decision to hire Terry (Scott Bakula) at his father’s car dealership.

“American Country Awards” (8 p.m., Fox): Did we really need another show that honors country music stars? Apparently someone thinks so. Make way for the “American Country Awards,” which celebrates winners determined by fans voting. Among the performers: Trace Adkins, Toby Keith, Rascal Flatts and Reba McEntire.

“The Closer” (9 p.m., TNT): One of cable TV’s most popular shows, “The Closer,” returns for a five-episode holiday run. As usual, Brenda (Kyra Sedgwick) has her hands full as she tries to figure out why one of her colleagues was ambushed in the streets.
