There is one great episode about the gang at spring training. The show could do more with her work. Otherwise, this is a well made standard sitcom with a very likable cast. Was this review helpful? Sign in to vote. In its first season, each show started with a sports reference and the episode successfully carried the dating to sports metaphor. That's what drew me in, but the characters kept me watching. PJ Jordana Spiro is a ish tomboy sports writer, and perpetually single.
She isn't me exactly, but I do see myself as her. The stand-up comedian Jim Gaffigan plays her brother Andy and has many funny lines. I often find myself laughing-out-loud at his delivery.
Brendan Reid Scott her best friend from college and Bobby Kyle Howard her colleague are both very good looking and between the two of them they offer something for every girl. Aspiring stand-up comedians Jamie Kaler and Michael Bunin round out her boys with their own quirky characteristics. The writers have been particularly adept at playing up the natural chemistry between Bunin and Kellee Stewart PJ's only female friend, Stephanie.
Spiro brings out the inherent ease and charisma in PJ, so it's easy to relate to her and follow her ups and downs in work, life and love. The boys provide most of the comedy and some of the romance and I always look forward to PJ's romantic adventures and how it really does relate to baseball. It isn't easy trying to put together an urban romantic comedy with the genre pretty much already perfected by "Sex and the City".
Not to mention the frustrating reality that viewers come to these shows with their own relationship baggage and selfishly demands that these shows conform to their own personal experience.
Any slack I've given the show gets strained as episode after episode goes by without a single, solitary laugh. PJ Jordana Spiro, who despite her inexperience looks and sounds the part quite well is a sports writer, adamant Chicago baseball fan and the glamorous Hollywood version of a tomboy. Let's start with these characters. And in a sense they act like real guys. A smoothed over sitcom version of real guys but still a welcome change from the cheating, scheming sex-obsessed pigs of most TV.
But a winning personality aside, the acting is awkward all around. It shows. The chemistry feels manufactured, nobody feels comfortable, and while that can be chalked up to Freshman season kinks the idiotic amateur-hour characterizations cannot. We know that Kenny is the pathetic one because he's bald. We know that Brendan is the cool one because he is never seen without a T-shirt or jacket with Led Zepplin, Black Sabbath or The Ramones blazed across it.
The only name in the cast, Gaffigan, is handcuffed in the corny I'm-funny-because-I'm-not-funny role. Let's not forget the only female influence in PJ's life, Stephanie Kellee Stewart , as the requisite "strut your stuff" girly girl.
This is the type of character you see and just know the phrase "how long has it been? There is a half-way descent character somewhere in "Trout" and the show almost squeezes a laugh out of him in an episode about an exclusive club called "the Streisand" said in hushed tones that works best because it most successfully manages to pilfer from "Seinfeld" and "Sex and the City".
Both of which you can catch in reruns on TBS. The show's creative ace-in-the-hole is PJ, the reality that Spiro brings to the character and the simple potential of a tomboy - something that we just rarely see on TV in a real way.
PJ could have an identity crisis, conflicted between her a love of guy things and uncomfortable with the mores of femininity required to date guys - or maybe she can't date at all. The show could strike a blow against the "men and women can't be friends" myth that has been allowed to grow long since "When Harry Met Sally".
But all the show can think to do is have PJ's boyfriends get jealous of her time with the guys. As for that "When Harry Met Sally" myth, let's just say the season finale is a big disappointment. The writing is flat-out awful. If I hear one more baseball metaphor about how PJ and the guys make such a great team I'm going to throw up. Those annoyed by Carrie Bradshaw's ability to turn everything under the sun into a relationship metaphor will go nuts with all of PJ's lame life-through-baseball narration.
And it's not that I didn't want to be taken back to that "Sex and the City" magic, because I did. But the show fails to be either wondrously romantic or critically insightful and it sure isn't funny. Good God. Thank you, Dr.
Phil, I just threw up again. This show really really sucks and here are the reasons the story to it very dumb it isn't funny yes maybe you would have a few laughs all i got out of it was one or two or maybe even three but not many.
The acting is very bad and the actors in it are bad everything in this show is stupid. Another thing is the girl that is staring in it is very very ugly i can't stand to look at her. So make sure that when you see it on TV turn the channel to something else.
And the trailer says nobody likes Monday's but everybody going to like Monday nights i think it should say nobody likes Monday's and nobody is going to like Monday nights as well.
I must say that this show is refreshing. It moves along at a good pace with excellent writing and the ensemble cast does a really good job. Though I am not as much a sports enthusiast as Jordana Spiro's character I must say I "get" her character way more than some of the other "females with friends" shows.
It is nice to see a show about an attractive female that is not a clothes horse or obsessed with shoes. The rest of the cast is just as wonderful to watch. The writing is witty and well done and I hope this show lasts for a little while. It is nice to see a show about inter-relationships when the girl has a lot of guy friends that are friends. That really does happen you know.
My impression of the first show was that they were working too hard to bring viewers into an established group of friends, to put the group across and show the rapports between characters. It didn't seem to be representative of the interactions between a real group of friends, or perhaps if representative, representative in hyperbole.
I could watch the show without too much pain, but would definitely prefer to avoid it. OTOH, Sex in the City was a favorite, and I found the relationships between the women to be generally believable, even though their relationships with men didn't always play, for me, often.
If the intent was to be an overt satire about the absurdity of relationships, those two cases would be fits and served their purpose. Getting back to the relationships between the My Boys characters, they aren't a fit for me. Somehow, they have tried too hard. I think that this show is really good. It could be the next friends.
It is a good show that tells you that you should never give up on your friends and never let them down and that you should except them for the way they are. It is important to know that you should never let your friends down for someone that is almost never there.
Friends are there to the end if you can pick the ones that you want to be with and you can be yourself. And that is why it will end up being the next friends in the future. This is a very great show and if you haven't seen it you really have to see it and soon. Heck, make that the past 10 years. That plus the fact that I'm close to 50 years old gives me, I think, the perfect right to call myself a cynic.
My wife and two teenage daughters have been watching this show from it's beginning. As professional cynic, I would bide my time surfing the internet in the next room. In doing so, I would find myself listening to the dialogue as I played around on the computer. In time, I found myself making excuses to meander into the living room during which time I would "accidentally" watch a few minutes of the show.
It didn't take long, but I got hooked. It wasn't until the third episode that I realized that one of my favorite comedians, Jim Gaffigan, was in the silly thing. Icing on the cake. Now I have nothing but praise for this show. Great writing, intelligent dialogue and superb casting. Not overly comedic, nor is it heavy on the drama. Great balance. Yes I highly recommend "My Boys". I enjoy this show. I think the writing is witty and humorous and the characters are easy to relate to. I think its nice seeing PJ being the only girl on the show, the show is aiming for "shes always just one of the boys".
I think some of it is realistic. The don't all live in high class apartments or eat only at the nicest restaurants. They have their bar, their hangout. And its not as cheesy as a coffee house like Friends a show I DO love, I just think the coffee house is a little over the top.
A bar is common for friends who hang out in the city, is it not? I think all the guys act like normal guys and PJ just plays along. Why do so many people bash on it so much?
Its just a sitcom, a fun to watch when its on kind of sitcom. Oh and the fact that they live in Chicago is awesome, I live in the suburbs of Chicago so I can relate a tiny bit. I'm die hard This is a show with a good concept. Granted, it's "Sex and the City" meets "Friends" minus the pretentiousness of either show, but that makes it one of the better shows to pop up in the post-Friends era.
