my boys!
So I've wanted to do this for a long time because not enough people watch this fantastic show. It's just a general picspam with not a whole lot of spoilers, a sort of "get to know the awesomeness" kind of thing. The first season DVD is coming out today (and is also on iTunes). The second season starts on Thursday, June 12th at 9:30 on TBS, but if you're broke, you can check out the episodes for free on TBS.com Anyway, here we go. Enjoy!
PJ Franklin
My Boys follows PJ, a Chicago sportswriter, and her guy friends through their lives. PJ is essentially the girl next door, obsessed with sports, loves to play poker with her friends, and personally is one of my favorite females on television right now. She's sarcastic, awesome, and generally figuring out how to get through life with her best friends, who just happen to be guys. She does have one girl friend named Stephanie that pops in (more so during the second half of the first season) and tries to get PJ to be more girly, but PJ is more interested in being comfortable
Mike: Bottom line is that we need to go out and be piggish without you looking over our shoulders and, let's be honest, judging the prey that we then...snare.
PJ: Oh my God, that's disgusting. And shut up, I would not be judgmental of your women, okay? I never said anything about that total North suburban whore that you went up to Wisconsin...and shut up again, I know what I just did!
Kenny: Well she is still a fox.
Brendan: Amen.
Stephanie: Speaking of foxes...
PJ: Okay, hang on, I'm sorry you guys. Is "fox" back?
PJ: Some of us were raised to be kind to those in need.
Mike: Hey Peej, grab me a beer would ya?
PJ: Get your own.
Brendan Dorff
Brendan is PJ's closest friend; the two used to room together in college and have been inseparable ever since. He works as DJ for a local radio station and he tends to be a ladies' man, despite his on-off relationship with his longtime girlfriend Wendy. When that relationship is off, Brendan tends to crash at PJ's and they're just super tight.
PJ: Mike, you threw up when you got hit in the nuts with a water balloon.
Brendan: Yeah, but that's an entirely different beast.
Mike: Yes!
PJ: I'm sorry, you're saying it's worse to get hit in the nuts with a water balloon than get hit in the head with a baseball?
Brendan: Hey, that's how David took down Goliath.
PJ: A one-night stand, totally cool. A five-night stand? No, okay?
Brendan: Okay.
PJ: Thank you.
Brendan: She'll be gone first thing in the morning.
PJ: Dude, you're killing me.
Brendan: Come on, Peej. She is my super hot fan, okay? Let me play with my toy a little more?
Brendan: Hey. We're dead. You guys seen their pitcher? Throwing at least 80. I'm not saying let's forfeit, I'm saying seriously, let's forfeit.
Andy Franklin
Andy is PJ's older brother and the oldest of the group. He's also the only married one (with a daughter) and makes a lot of jokes at the expense of his marriage. Despite all his kidding, Andy's very devoted to his family and we see the relationship between Andy and his wife (Meredith) go through a lot of ups and downs.
Brendan: It's not about how good you are. I've seen Andy play Pyramid.
Mike: What do you mean?
[cut to Andy & Kenny playing Pyramid]
Kenny: Uh, it's a car without a top.
Andy: Broken car.
Kenny: It's the kind of car you might take to the beach, but you push a button and the top comes down.
Andy: Beach car?
PJ: All she wanted to do was spa and club.
Andy: I like your verbs that are things. I think I'll sandwich after I sofa.
Kenny: You're texting now. Like the kids.
Andy: Yeah. Meredith discovered she could text me any time and I can't use the excuse I can't talk. What is ROTFL?
PJ: It's rolling on the floor laughing.
Andy: I highly doubt that.
Kenny Morittori
Kenny is one of the more non-threatening guys of the group. He's not the most confident and tends to take girls out to coffee a lot instead of on actual dates, but he's overall, he's a really sweet, hilarious guy.
Kenny: Are you gonna be good? Because PJ's really good.
Andy: I'm gonna be...I'm gonna try my best.
Kenny: Ugh, you're gonna be one of those people who says stupid things like that.
Kenny: As fascinating as this is, I'm going to the bathroom.
Bobby: Ah, good. I'll come with you.
Kenny: I don't want you to go with me.
Bobby: I need to go to the bathroom. Come on. It'll be fun.
Kenny: This is disturbing on many levels.
Kenny: I always wanted to have a fan!
Andy: Well, you'll have to do something cool or important.
Kenny: Ah! I can do magic! I need a box and a saw, like a two person saw, and...[looks at PJ]
PJ: No.
Kenny: I can't do anything else cool.
Mike Callahan
Mike works with PJ at the office for the Chicago Cubs' and is hilarious. I mean, they're all hilarious, but Mike has moments more often than not where I'm laughing out loud at what he says. Mike is the one of the group who is the typical afraid of commitment guy, but he always has his humor to fall back on. He is probably closest to Kenny of the group and he's always ribbing on Kenny for not being more confident with girls and I love their banter.
(talking about PJ)
Andy: She's right, we should stay out of her private life. But do you remember that guy you dated, he was in the Heart cover band?
Mike: Oh! Nancy Wilson!
Brendan: No, no, he played Nancy Wilson; his name was Gary.
Mike: That's right, but he made everybody call him Barracuda!
Bobby: Look, Mike. I got you a job interview. It's with the Blackhawks; I know you hate hockey, but it's the best I could do.
Mike: No man, I don't hate it. It's just...I think it's stupid. It's soccer on ice with a stick.
Mike: Well listen, if you're not gonna ask her out, I am definitely going to ask her out.
Kenny: Wow, you just want to finish my beer for me too?
Mike: Well, if you're still interested I won't, but I figured since it's been a few months...
Kenny: Yeah.
Mike: Yeah what?
Kenny: Yeah, you know, I actually, I mean...might ask her out.
Mike: Seriously?
Kenny: I'm thinking about it.
Mike: You should wait longer 'til she has a husband and a couple kids, see how that works out.
Bobby Newman
Bobby....oh Bobby (I adore him so much). He's the new guy of the group and he serves as such a great device for the show because his character, along with the audience, is learning about this group along with him. But anyway, he works alongside PJ and there's a sort of romantic tension between them that is sort of played out through the first season. He's kind of awkward and doesn't have quite the obvious humor that Mike and Andy do, but he holds his own in the group.
Mike: PJ, this is Bobby. He's our new short-stop.
PJ: Hey [shakes hands] PJ. We've met before, haven't we?
Bobby: Yeah, yeah in the press box the other day. You borrowed my pen.
PJ: That's right, you're the new trib guy. So what the hell, that pen ran out of ink.
Bobby: That's why I had no problem lending it to you.
Kenny: Bobby, we have a problem with Mike.
Bobby: What kind of problem?
Kenny: A you-have-to-fire-Mike problem
Bobby: Why would I fire Mike?
PJ:Why would Bobby fire Mike?
Kenny: You have to. You made me hire him. Look, I'm very particular about how I do things at the shop, okay? Mike's got a lot of ideas.
Bobby: Dude, ideas are good. Light bulbs. Liberty. Beer. These things all started as ideas.
(talking about PJ's new boyfriend)
Kenny: He takes you to fancy places, that's all we know.
Mike: Yeah and we're not allowed in fancy town.
Bobby: I was there once. It was fun.
