My Boys
I’m a TV junkie, hate to admit it, but I am. I have certain shows that I need to watch every episode - Sex and the City (can never get enough of it, even though the show’s been over), Heroes (coolest new show), Grey’s Anatomy (McSteamy’s hotter than McDreamy, in my opinion), Veronica Mars (don’t laugh, even Stephen King thinks this is a great show), ER (after all these years, I still watch), etc. Most of these shows are on hiatus right now, at least until January. So I’ve been checking out other shows. One that caught my eye is this new show called My Boys (it’s on Tues., TBS - don’t know the time, DVR got me spoiled)
If I were to compare this show to another, I would have to say it’s an "ungirly-girl" Sex and the City. Let me explain… Like Sex and the City, the show chronicles the life and issues of a typical young, single woman. The difference is, she happens to be "one of the guys". Meaning, her best friends/her crew/the people she’s always with are all guys (about 5 of them). They all watch sports, go drinking, share stories, hang out and go to bars together, etc. Any issues she has or situation she’s in, the guys are there and somewhat right in the middle of it. She does have one female best friend, who is, shall we say, a lot more feminine (she doesn’t go out for a "drink", she goes for cocktails… and beer? try, a martini instead). And although that’s her best friend, it clearly shows that she can relate more with the guys - her boys.
Now, anyone who knows me well enough can see why I find this show interesting. Albeit the fact that she compares life with sports (i’m not that hardcore), this show really reminds me of my crew and I, even after only watching two episodes. Their close knit relationship, their humor, even some of their issues remind me of me and the guys. Yes, I still have a few female close friends; yes, I usually hang out with guys; yes, apart from my cousin, my best friends are guys. But guess what - I love my boys!
We did used to say someone should make a show of us and our shenanigans. You think we should get copyrights for this show?
