    Underrated Gem hide show

    My Boys is one of the funniest, yet unknown shows on television. It broadcasts on TBS and has bounced all around the weekly schedule (it now airs on Tuesdays at 10:30pm), but the show is well worth viewing. The plot centers on PJ Franklin (Jordana Spiro), a female sports writer who lives in Chicago and lives a tomboy lifestyle hanging out with a group of friends who are predominately men. PJ's lone female friend is always trying to get her to act more feminine, but PJ always ends up "one of the guys". The show doesn't offer any revelatory plotlines, but the cast is so likable and charming that you find yourself wanted to spend an evening with the gang throwing back a few beers at Crowley's (the local dive bar where they hang out) and watching a Cubs game.

    Does this qualify as a sitcom? hide show

    It must be nice to know people in the business, how else could you explain why this show is still getting air time. I've never heard of a show having its first season with five episodes, eight months off, second season with six episodes, eight months off, and now its third season, with a minimal amount of episodes as well. Awful content and bysmal ratings aside, isn't this a complete waste of money for tbs as well? Furthermore with this being classified as a sitcom, would'nt it have to have some "comedy" in it? Jim Gaffigan-who is still a very funny stand-up comic-could walk onto the set with a beard comb-over and it still wouldnt help. Don't watch this show, your brain will thank you.

    A new show in every sense! hide show

    PJ is a Tom-Boy who is friend with four guys plus her bother. They are an exclusive group who you cant penetrate easily. I like the fact that PJ, even though a beautiful lady, can keep up with all the guy talk. I like the fact that they always go back to PJ's place without even thinking! I loved season one and waited along time for the second season but was really disappointed with how short it was. Nevertheless, it was really good. I liked the idea of a hookup between Bobby and PJ and thought they will end up together in seaon 2.

    I can relate to the character PJ. Woman in a mans world, knows who she is, stands her ground. A caring friend who deals with real women problems when you have guys close in your life but aren't intimate with. Love the tomboy personality. Dieing for more! hide show

    The setting in Chicago, allows a rough around the edges attitude. Mulitipal characters carring on mulitipal conversations that weave in and out keeps it intresting. Each actor makes the part their own. The flow of slap stick humor between so many people is awesome and skillfully pulled off. (not many shows can do it) Each show someone takes a turn with a dilemma, and how everyone tries to help the other with their problem is hysterical. The twist and turns on each one of their personal lives keeps me comeing back and wanting to see more each week. So, I'm lovin' it!

    The characters are boring and stereotyped, and there is nothing at all interesting that makes me want to watch this show. hide show

    I've only seen a few episodes, so maybe my opinion will change if I see a good one. So far though this show is boring and not funny at all. I'm especially disappointed given that Jim Gaffigan is on it. He's the only reason I started watching. Its like a sloppy Friends remake with even worse writing and less interesting characters. Oh its so cool that they're like young and friends and they make fun of each other. Just awful. I'm not condeming this show entirely because again I have only seen a small sample of it. Kudos for not having a laugh track, but maybe they should have used one. At least someone would have been laughing.
