Matt Roush says...
The joy of watching an old pro learn new tricks made the first season of this gentle comedy something special. Ted Danson is at the top of his game as Charles Nieuwendyk, an unhappily widowed former professor who finds new purpose and pep as an amateur private eye. His first assignment sent him undercover at a retirement home, and his task in Season 2 isn’t nearly as memorable or poignant when he returns to teaching at a struggling San Francisco college to unravel a blackmail scheme that threatens to tank a donation from a toxic billionaire (hammy Gary Cole). On the plus side, Charles finds unexpected romance with Mona (Danson’s wife of 30 years, Mary Steenburgen), a wacky music teacher who might be a suspect but is absolutely guilty of bringing much-needed spontaneity to his routine. The mystery may be mostly predictable, but watching him light up in her presence creates a warm inner glow. Standing out in the supporting cast: David Strathairn as a stuffy English prof who resists Charles’ charms.
