DO YOU HAVE ANY SHIRAZ? It's been a pretty bad few years for the traditional sitcom, with new comedies finding it hardpressed to get ratings and audience traction. That's why TBS's My Boys is such an unexpected pleasure. Yes, it's a blatant SATC knockoff (only with sports metaphors for relationships rather than a "relationship column"), but how can you not love a show that features the group of friends engaging in their annual "decathlon of board games" with disastrous results and a running joke about the silliness of wine tasting? It's a surprisingly funny, pleasant, and insightful, and Jim Gaffigan again makes you wonder why he's never had a big hit sitcom. Episodes can be watched for free here.
