Product Description
A comedy/drama centering on PJ Franklin a twenty-something female sports writer for the Chigaco Sun-Times, whose 'family' consists of a bunch of lovable guys who share all her favorite pastimes - sports, poker and beer, but finding a boyfriend and making a future for herself can be tricky for a girl with so many men in her life! Starring hot new talent Jordana Spiro (Must Love Dogs).

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

My Boys the first season. So much fun. January 6, 2009
I loved watching this. I missed the first few episodes so it was fun catching up and getting some missing background. I love the relationships and their disfunction demonstrated through the story. The cast is so believable and real. If you love Chicago that makes the story even better.
The special features with the DVD were nice to become more familiar with how the story happened and to get to know the actors and the creators themselves.
Awesome show! December 6, 2008
I agree with everyone else. I love this show! I was totally hooked from the first episode. Worth buying the DVD for sure!!
My Boys...My Show August 20, 2008
This show is so good, I miss it when it's off the air. The cast is so funny and the basis feels real. I recomend this Dvd o anyone with ears and eyes who want to laugh. What could be better than friends who don't hold back?

This show is fun to watch.
The characters quickly feel like the guys next door; I find myself looking forward to their next escapade.
Check out a show on iTunes & then buy the season here for $15.00 less.
Great new series July 14, 2008
A must have for those looking for a comical true to life story. A tomboy personality girl named Pj tries to keep both a social life and at the same time hang out with her four close friends and older brother. The only guide to her feminine side is her friend Stephanie who is more girl than the norm. The first season trails through with Pj just trying to find a man who can adapt to her unusual environment of close friends.
You wont regret the purchase, I still watch this non stop to this day =)
