You'll get a three-disc set, more than 9 hours of viewing, with a few special features: episodic promos and series promos.

Plus there's that great, peaceful theme song.

Today's giveaway gives you a dose of testosterone

The second season starts tonight and to celebrate, we've got "Men Of A Certain Age: The Complete First Season."

If you haven't been watching this TNT show, you're missing something very special. It's the story of three friends, played by Ray Romano, Scott Bakula and Andre Braugher, navigating their late 40s. Ramono's character, Joe, is neurotic and recently separated; he runs a party store, but once dreamed of being a golfer. Terry (Bakula) is an actor, although most of his performances are in the bedroom. Classic Peter Pan. Braugher plays Owen, a husband and father and car salesman at his difficult father's dealership.

Braugher got an Emmy nomination for his part, but all the actors are good -- Romano, I'd say is a revelation.

You'll get two discs with 10 episodes, behind-the-scenes features, deleted scenes, a gag reel, and commentary.

And if you've never watched the show before, catching up will be EZ!

Just email me by 9 tonight (12/6) with your address in the body. A random drawing will determine the winner. Good luck!
