My Boys - 1x01 to 1x03

I only really discovered this show about two years ago, right before the final season aired. I was just moving into my new place, and TBS was the only channel that was coming in on my TV at the time, and they were *really* pushing it. Commercials, bumpers, cute promos, the whole shebang. I'd heard of it before, but everything I'd seen made it look like a stupid "Oh ho ho, I'm a girl and I have guy friends, isn't that wacky??" kind of thing. But it had good reviews, and the promos were actually semi-amusing, and like I said, only channel that showed up. So I gave that last season (and a smattering of reruns) a shot, and it actually turned out to be pretty awesome.

Imagine my surprise (or don't, it's really underwhelming) when I find My Boys suddenly available on Netflix streaming. Now, in order to allay my guilt about splurge-watching a six year old series when I have so many other current shows stacking up on my hard drive, I decided it might be nice to do a little retrospective as I go along. I keep meaning to write about more than the three or four deeply flawed sitcoms I seem to be trapped with, but I can't quite seem to get on the ball as far as hour-long dramas are concerned. So maybe this can be a compromise.

Instead of a post per episode, I'm going to be doing a light overview of groups of episodes at a time. This'll either make things a little easier for me, or a lot harder.
