TBS Wants More Of 'My Boys'

  • Variety, Tuesday, September 11, 2007 11:15 AM
TBS has ordered up another season of 'My Boys' according to insiders, bringing the comedy back for a third go-round. The show concluded its second season Monday night, and has drawn an average of 1.5 million total viewers this summer--up from the 1.4 million it averaged in its first season, mostly aired in the fourth quarter of 2006. TBS is expected to pick up eight episodes for the third season; it had ordered 13 for the first, but trimmed that to seven this year.

The Sony Pictures show stars Jordana Spiro as a female sportswriter among a cast of overgrown adolescent men in Chicago. TBS has used 'Sex and the City' reruns to lead into the series as the net tries to develop and air more original sitcoms. President Steve Koonin says he is aiming for four original half-hours in prime time and four in late night.
