Same with Stephanie's poor house blues. While there were okay moments in this one (the parking sign being the most surprising) overall this was the weakest My Boys of the new season. But it's kind of a positive sign that it was bad (or not as good) in a normal way rather than being bad because of the awful and perpetual baseball mataphor narration.Blankity-Blankhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16300561794205597506noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17517257.post-74152348904542533112007-08-16T01:02:00.000-04:002007-08-16T01:02:00.000-04:00One of the things I like about 'My Boys' is the sh...One of the things I like about 'My Boys' is the show's attention to its own past, and the details that are set up for future episodes.<BR/><BR/>For instance, with the revelation this week that Bobby Newman was filthy rich, his reactions at not being named one of Chicago's sexiest in last week's episode makes more sense. If he had been chosen, the details would have been revealed in the magazine profile on him, and that would have ruined his relationship with the gang.Toby O'Bhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06999037844031101965noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17517257.post-70564723123485635222007-08-14T23:42:00.000-04:002007-08-14T23:42:00.000-04:00Did anyone else see that image above and think it ...Did anyone else see that image above and think it was for "Entourage" with Kevin Connolly looking like the guy in the green and Adrian Grenier looking like the guy in the red?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17517257.post-11109815085348066332007-08-14T12:13:00.000-04:002007-08-14T12:13:00.000-04:00The interesting dynamic in Big Love is how Bill is...The interesting dynamic in <I>Big Love</I> is how Bill is turning into Roman Grant.

Remember how much they all tried to help him when he lost his job last season, although this explains why he would take his old job back for a big pay cut.Heather Khttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08803986002619715757noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17517257.post-52421841339407946142007-08-14T10:19:00.000-04:002007-08-14T10:19:00.000-04:00I agree with Matt that while PJ's job has set up a...I agree with Matt that while PJ's job has set up a few moments, more often just focusing on the friends, is way better. PJ really doesn't even need to be a sportswriter, although I guess they thin that is their hook.RandomRanterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06147261564775917270noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17517257.post-65010971157177964502007-08-14T10:04:00.000-04:002007-08-14T10:04:00.000-04:00Amen to opinions.

But the response is the response, good or bad.<BR/><BR/>Me, I don't like <I>Weeds</I> because the writing thinks it's funny and clever. And even as a Duchovny fan, <I>Californication</I> left me cold, it's Showtime's <I>Dream On</I> with better writing and acting and nudity. (Incoherent instruction manuals have better writing than <I>Dream On</I>, but hey, that's just my opinion.)<BR/><BR/>But if it hadn't have been for your opinion, I'd have dismissed <I>Kill Point</I> out of hand. I might have Tivo'd <I>Mad Men</I> and never made time for it. And I might never have come back to <I>Freaks and Geeks</I> which I had skipped after the pilot as being too much harsh reality to be a pleasant night of entertainment.<BR/><BR/>And I don't feel bad for giving up on <I>Big Love</I> and <I>Rescue Me</I> either.David J.

Though I'm not sure I bought the "they all had no idea Bobby was rich" concept.Matthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00295270766215749309noreply@blogger.com
