Last December, TBS's breakout new original comedy MY BOYS won over audiences and critics alike. This summer, the gang's all back for more friendship, sports, poker and hopefully love, with nine new episodes. Jordana Spiro (JAG, Must Love Dogs) returns as PJ Franklin, an unabashed, sports-loving girl looking for romance. She is joined by a top-notch ensemble cast that includes Jim Gaffigan (That �70s Show, Ed), Kyle Howard (Related, Orange County), Reid Scott (American Dreams), Michael Bunin (Scrubs), Jamie Kaler (The Family Stone) and Kellee Stewart (Guess Who?). MY BOYS, from executive producers Betsy Thomas (Run of the House), Jamie Tarses, Gavin Polone (Curb Your Enthusiasm, The Gilmore Girls) and Eric Gilliland (Roseanne, That �70s Show) ranked as ad-supported cable's #1 new sitcom last year, according to Nielsen Media Research. MY BOYS is produced for TBS by Pariah and 2 Out Rally Productions, Inc., in association with Sony Pictures Television.
Last December MY BOYS introduced PJ, a 20-something sports reporter for a Chicago newspaper, and her boys and saw them through some humorous, yet realistic, times including on-the-job romance, a dating slump, the value of honesty in friendship and uncovering secrets kept from close friends.
This summer promises more poker nights at PJs, beers at Crowley's Bar and amusing situations from the whole gang. Andy (Gaffigan) will struggle with his move to the suburbs and another big bombshell from Meredith. Mike (Kaler), having exhausted every means to kill time while unemployed, strikes ups an interesting business alliance. Kenny (Bunin) continues to search for love in all the wrong places. Bobby (Howard), who has comfortably settled in as one of the gang, reveals a shocking secret of his own. Brendan (Scott) goes through a disturbing personality change which requires the entire group to get him back on track. Stephanie (Stewart) runs into some financial trouble this year but has better luck with dating.
Casting a big shadow over this summer is that PJ and Stephanie have purchased two two-for-one tickets to Italy. The entire summer sends them on a quest to find boyfriends to bring along as their dates. Or in PJ's case, on a journey to determine whether or not she even wants to bring a boyfriend at all.
