The show has been cancelled. One of the bloggers is sad, one is happy. Very happy. That show was laaaaaaaaame.

Recap of the (series) finale:
This blogger didn't know it would be the last episode of My Boys before watching it, but it definitely felt like a series finale. Mike got married (!!!!!), Kenny is going to London with Stephanie, Brendan bought Crowley's (!!!), and PJ decided her friends are more important than her own front page column. Not much else happened, but it definitely showed how each character has grown up ... which explains why the episode was called "My Men". We probably should've known it was a series finale based on the title.
Overall, this season was pretty boring. It was all about the characters maturing which, though makes us proud of them, doesn't make for the best television. My Boys has never been Emmy-worthy, but it did have the benefit of being aired during the summer, when there's nothing else on. It consistently made one of the bloggers laugh, and for that, it will be missed.
Finale Grade: A

I'm sad about this, too, and I also feel a little cheated that we didn't know this last episode was the *last* episode. For the last few years "My Boys" has been one of those happy little treats that shows up on your Tivo from time to time, unexpected but appreciated. It's a shame that the network never gave it much of a chance, but on the bright side it frees up those actors to be in other things.
ReplyDeleteThat's how one of us feels. It's disappointing that it was never given a chance at becoming a well-watched show, but it might have be a blessing. Had it been a fall show, it might've been cancelled after only one season.
