TBS made it official on Tuesday: the network has opted to renew the Jordana Spiro sitcom My Boys for a third season of nine episodes. Fans of the series can look forward to its return in the first quarter of 2009.
In the announcement, Content Creation Group senior vice president Michael Wright stated, “It’s that truly rare television combination of a talented cast with great chemistry, extremely smart and funny writing and outstanding production. MY BOYS is a quality show with a quality audience that continues to make the case that Turner is a true broadcast substitute.”

Well, it’s time for the second-season finale of My Boys already, which will air on August 7 in the form of the episode “John, Cougar, Newman Camp.” And, no, I don’t think musician John Cougar Mellencamp will be making a cameo.
Instead, the episode will focus on the aftermath of Bobby’s best man, namely his wimpy brother Jack, having left without warning at the end of the last episode. The gang comes to Bobby’s rescue, however, and step in to take Jack’s place.
We’ll also learn more about Mike’s adventures with older woman Maggie, played by Mimi Rogers, as well …read more

Since this is the episode that precedes the final installment of My Boys’ second season, it’s no surprise the events mostly set up a bunch of tense or unexpected situations requiring resolutions — or potentially cliffhangers — in the finale.
The entire gang heads to the ridiculously huge and opulent ranch of Bobby and Jack’s father George Newman, a shameless dirty old man and dedicated drunk who repeatedly asks a totally disinterested Stephanie to marry him, which would make her wife Number Six. Stephanie is more interested in continually hounding Kevin for his lack of …read more

July 31 brings “Jack and Bobby,” the next-to-last episode of My Boys’ current second season.
It’s almost time for Bobby and Elsa to tie the knot, so the entire gang heads to his rich and raunchy daddy’s ranch for the big to-do. While there, brothers Jack and Bobby get into it, and Mike, who’s been unable to score for ages now, hooks up with an older woman played by Mimi Rogers. If Rogers is just half as good as she was on The Loop, all will be fun during her scenes.
Follow the jump for a sneak peek at the …read more

There’s just two episodes left now until My Boys’ second-season finale on August 7. In the meantime, the big wedding approaches on the July 24 episode called “Opportunity Knocks,” which features the return of Season One guest star David Pressman as Mexican Freddy.
PJ also has a big decision to make given that Bobby’s brother Jack seems to be very interested in her. The problem is his reputation for being a player, something we all know is the last thing PJ needs or wants.
In addition, Bobby has a difficult time surviving the craziness that goes hand in hand with …read more

Well, as the title of My Boys’ July 17 episode, “Dudes Being Dudes,” makes clear, this one is mostly about PJ’s guys and guys in general.
Bobby’s best friend throws a bachelor party for the husband-to-be but gets on Brendan’s bad side over who pays for the event. And at Elsa’s shower, Stephanie hogs the spotlight with her new book about getting out of bad relationships.
PJ also confronts her brother Andy regarding his relationship with Jo (Guest Star Nia Vardalos), while Bobby’s brother Jack tries to get something started with the sportswriter.
Sneak a peek at the episode in the following …read more

Poor PJ experiences the pangs of being the only girl in her gang of guys on this episode of My Boys.
At the bar, the guys whine, er, gripe about their individual soul-shattering, world-ending problems. Kenny avoids phone calls from Caitlin, the young woman from Andy and Mike’s improv class who has a thing for him, because he’s currently dating Beth, the other woman he met earlier at PJ’s singles dinner party. When he tells Caitlin about his relationship with Beth and she doesn’t care, Kenny starts dating both women but becomes terrified they’ll …read more

On My Boys’ July 10 episode, “Take My Work Wife…Please,” My Big Fat Greek Wedding star Nia Vardalos returns to play Jo, Andy’s new “close” co-worker. Of course, the gang remains convinced that something hinky is going on between the two, which prompts Andy to set Jo up on a date with boorish Mike to prove otherwise. Poor woman!
Elsewhere, PJ makes the bad, bad, bad decision to help her one true love Bobby plan his wedding to nanny Elsa; Brendan becomes even more depressed after landing a temp mailroom job at Andy’s law firm; Kenny’s unexpected winning streak …read more

Stephanie’s debut book, You’re a Great Guy, But…, is a guide for women on how to get out of bad relationships, and the preliminary orders are through the roof at 253,000 when this episode of My Boys opens. Unfortunately, although everyone gets the “but” at the end, poor Kenny is stumped until the gang explains.
Andy is taking improv classes at work to help him improve his negotiating skills, and when Mike learns the students are mostly actresses half Andy’s age, he signs up, too. Although annoying at first, the classroom time together eventually …read more

Mama mia, it’s Nia, as in My Big Fat Greek Wedding star Nia Vardalos. Starting with the July 3 episode “Spit Take,” the actress begins a multi-episode arc on My Boys playing a colleague of PJ’s brother Andy. As viewers will soon learn, the situation between those two is going to get really deep really quickly.
Lots of other stuff happens on the episode, as well, such as Stephanie’s book finally hitting stores … with an inflated biography on the back, Brendan playing doctor … with himself, and Bobby trying to cure his girlfriend Elsa’s visa problems … with …read more
