Only thoughts...voiceover is overkill; main character is written in a stereotypical fashion that says you can't like sports AND be a girly girl-I think I am an exception to that; I like the supporting cast of guys-I used to have plenty of guy friends like that back when I was a social being.

I do have a girl who runs in my group of guy friends, and she is a sports nut, so it fits for her. But I know plenty of girls who have a ton of guy friends and don't know jack about sports. As to your "Heroes" point, if the two shows ever collide, "My Boys" doesn't have a shot to be my choice. Fair point, Laura.

I have very few female friends, and virtually no interest in sports, and it usually works out just fine. I thought I'd relate to this show, but it went and alienated me just like all the other sitcoms. And since the "gimmick" has now been done, I don't have a lot of hope for future sitcoms. Oh well. I'd rather watch Heroes anyway. My biggest complaint — and it’s kind of a biggie — is the continued assumption that women whose friends are mostly men *must* be sports freaks.
