TBS: My Boys

So as usual, last night I was zonked and crashed in front of the tv when I got home (I worked late, so I'm allowed to!).

Started flipping through the channels, which is pretty dumb considering I'm heavily backlogged on my DVR viewing. Plus i've got 2 DVDs of last season's Nip/Tuck I gotta watch. Anyway I caught the tail end of TBS' version of Sex and The City (does it ever get old? Answer: OH HELL NO. SATC is so timeless), and then I got the little promo saying that the new show My Boys would be coming up next...

I saw a ton of commercials for it (becuase I watch a ton of tv, naturally) and decided to give it a whirl...

OMG.

I absolutely LOVED My Boys. It's basically about a single chick who's got 1 female best friend and like 6 best guy friends who get together regularly for poker. She's a guy's girl, but it's funny because she has no qualms telling these guys what we chicks would LOVE to tell dudes.

Why this show kicks ass:

1. It's original. I really can't think of any other show that compares to it. The premise is good, and the characters are likeable.

2. It's got Kyle Howard...he was in Grosse Pointe on the WB way back in the day, which was another brilliant show that sadly got axed before it's time (that was back when WB was still new and pretty much only had Seventh Heaven as it's claim to fame). You can't go wrong when Kyle Howard stars in your show.

3. The main chick (AJ? DJ? TJ? whatever)...not overly pretty but still cute, she's the type who can play every girl's best friend. Good casting choice.

4. It's NOT set in LA or New York. Gasp, there's other places in the US? Really? Wow.

5. You can watch the episodes online if you missed any.

6. It's got new age wit, which alot of tv shows lack...even Gilmore Girls is outdated in it's use of wit, even though it was probably one of the wittiest shows back in it's hayday.

On other news, I still have to put up the photos on Shutterfly from my visit with my brother. GET OFF MY BACK! I'm busy!

My Boys is awesome, like you I saw the ads and then one night I checked it out and it is brilliantly written and the girl is cute, yet hot and quirky.

I just hope it lasts.

Thanks to you Sabina, I'm hooked on the OC. :P I love Taylor, wierd, cute quirky chicky. :P

Alright I'll stop now. You and Kraig should visit Ottawa, the weather is AWESOME... bring a sweater and mitts. :P (Ya, it was frigid today.)
