The comedy show was about two old friends that appeared to be polar opposites in many situations. One thing they agreed upon, however, is that life is short and both men vowed to live every day like it is their last, since they figured at their age, they only had "twenty good years" to live.http://www.nbc.com/NBC_First_Look/Twenty_Good_Years/.

On May 14, 2007, the series was officially cancelled by NBC.http://www.tvseriesfinale.com/2007/05/2007_cancelled_shows_several_nbc_cancellations.php

Ratings and reception

Since the series debut, Twenty Good Years had been plagued by schedule changes before the season began, as well as receiving mixed-to-negative reviews. They had also placed fourth in its Wednesday time period and continued to slip since the first episode. On October 25, 2006, NBC announced that it was replacing the Wednesday night comedy block with specials, thus pulling Twenty Good Years from the schedulehttp://www.broadcastingcable.com/article/CA6384731.html with no plans for a return.
