Chicago-y My Boys Returns to Basic Cable

2008_6_12.myboys.jpgSeason two of Chicago-centric sitcom My Boys premieres tonight on TBS at 8:30pm.

My Boys was created by Northwestern grad Betsy Thomas and centers around the social life of fake Sun-Times sportswriter P.J. Franklin and her "boys." The first season included shout-outs to the Art Institute, Billy Goat Tavern, The Hideout and Guthrie's Tavern (just to name a few) and while season two was shot entirely in Los Angeles we are reassured there will be Chicago references all over the place. It's not the best show on the air, but the Chicago stuff is kind of cute.

I kind of like this show. :-) Jim Gaffigan is definitely the best part.

I kinda enjoy it too. It's especially fun to count how many Chicagoland references they can jam into an episode.

So, does she play the female fictional Jay Mariotti? If so, does everyone in Chicago hate her?
