My Boys is a comedy series set in Chicago that centers on PJ, a female sports columnist and her friends, all of which are men. She’s close with her “boys,” which often causes trouble in her dating life. When the first season ended, PJ was headed to Rome with her friend Stephanie for a blind date with a mystery man.

When the new season resumes in the episode titled “Transitioning,” Stephanie finds out who PJ’s mystery date is and she quickly begins to start meddling in PJ’s business, ruining the mood of the trip.

This is another TBS series that I haven’t gotten around to watching. The preview clip (below) is laugh-worthy and the series appears to be well cast (based on the bios listed on TBS’s website) but I’m not sure I’m totally sold on the premise. Then again, I could use some good comedy series to counter-balance all of the reality shows I’ll be watching this summer so perhaps it’s time I check My Boys out.
