Amazon.com Focusing on a female sports reporter and her posse of best friends--all but one of them male--My Boys takes a fresh approach to the buddy concept. P. J. Franklin (Jordana Spiro, Must Love Dogs) loves sports and likes to use sports analogies in both her newspaper column and when referencing her dismal love life. "I've come to realize that almost everything in dating and relationships has a parallel to sports," she says. "I'm a sportswriter for the Chicago Sun-Times. I cover the Cubs." At times it appears that her dating streak will be as dismal as the Cubs' attempts to win the World Series. But the most important relationship is the one she shares with her friends. Dressed down to look as much like a tomboyish print reporter as possible, Spiro has a freshly scrubbed appeal that makes her attractive to men without being threatening to women. The cast of Friends had their coffee shop as the place to meet. The My Boys gang has P.J.'s apartment, where they regularly gather for poker nights and gabfests. Yes, the boys are gabbers, whether they're talking about their confusing relationships, unfufilling careers or sports in general. Like the protagonist in Sex and the City, P. J. has a penchant for talking directly to the camera. Though it grows old at times, Spiro is likable enough that we forgive the tired conceit. The affable cast includes comic Jim Gaffigan as P.J.'s befuddled older brother Andy and Kellee Stewart as Stephanie, who definitely isn't one of the boys. Johnny Galecki (Roseanne) is so good in his three guest appearances as a deliciously annoying neighbor that it'd be a shame if the writers didn't bring him back in the second season. The DVD set includes all 22 episodes, which originally aired during 2006-2007. There's a nice little cliffhanger involving P.J., a trip to Italy, and the man who travels with her. Could this be her newest boy? --Jae-Ha Kim

Gem of a Show October 30, 2009 D. McPheeters LOVE THIS TV SHOW! Witty, well-written, likable characters, built around sports. Love a show that has such great dialogue on how guys think. We have been anxiously awaiting the release of seasons 2 and 3. My kids and I all watch this show, and quote the lines. This show is better than anything on network or cable tv. SO awesome!
An Entire Season of Comedic Relief!!! September 24, 2009 April (Havre de Grace, Maryalnd) My Boys is a whitty, innovative series. Season one on DVD is entertaining and a must have!
Funny August 1, 2009 Oscar A. Barillas (NJ, USA) I liked this girl so I saw the show -lol-, but its funny, maybe too many cliches but a lil bit different.
Quirky and fun June 24, 2009 Arielle V. Lemoine I really enjoyed this series me and my husband started watching it during the third season and it was nice to back track and see how everything started.
Awesome show!!! June 2, 2009 A. Miller This show is awesome! I just discovered it as I didn't get the channel tbs when it was first aired but knew it would appeal to me as the title character seems a lot like me, unlike most shows with a very girly and trendy lead. I love the one-liners, especially Jim Gaffigan's character Andy. The service from amazon is awful though. I ordered this item on May 19 and it is in stock and it says it won't be delivered until June 4th. 16 days?! Seriously?! All other companies I use for ordering (huge retailers to mom & pop shops) have delivered within a week and I usually get the item much faster than expected. So 5 stars for My Boys and 1 star for amazon!
