Touches You

I like movies that are aware of what they are selling... without [any] greater aspirations than to make people laugh and that's it.

It's entirely possible that sending the audience out feeling lousy was intentional

Easily the biggest piece of Right wing non sense propaganda I ever saw.

Why this show got canceled. Some reasonable points:1. DATED: I mean who were these people? They seemed to be stuck in a time warp of old jokes and situations. The kind where its okay to make lame jokes about female drivers.2. EVERYBODY LOOKED OLD/ CAST: Maybe if the series was made 5 years ago. I mean we have seen all of the cast members in some role or the other. They are known faces, but were never in direct lime light. This is not to say that each of them wasn't a gifted actor. Indeed they were but somehow never exploited to there full potential.3. BEEN THERE DONE THAT: the kind of female inner monologue narrative had already been used to its full potential in mega hits like sex and the city. The leading lady, talented as she was could garner no audience support for her age old problems that the viewer has already seen a million times.4. HUMOR: In the end the whole thing was hammy and trite. You may say that I am being too harsh but I really am not. Imagine this show releasing at the same time as 'How I met your Mother' (and that started in 2005!!!!). The stronger show survived and the weaker one got canceled.All in all, it is at best some good background television while you stream better stuff from the internet. The background music is sincere and jazzy, just like in Seinfeld or Sex and the city. I will give it a 4 for decent acting, time tested but still clean camera-work and the over all success in making someone stop for a second and pay it attention because all the above stated facts ultimately help it in creating a false sense of expectation. If you expect, you pay attention which is more then anyone can ask for. Regardless, a viewer watching it in 2012 has nothing to gain from it.

I enjoy this show. I think the writing is witty and humorous and the characters are easy to relate to. I think its nice seeing PJ being the only girl on the show, the show is aiming for "shes always just one of the boys". I think some of it is realistic. The don't all live in high class apartments or eat only at the nicest restaurants. They have their bar, their hangout. And its not as cheesy as a coffee house like Friends (a show I DO love, I just think the coffee house is a little over the top). A bar is common for friends who hang out in the city, is it not? I think all the guys act like normal guys and PJ just plays along. Its a fun show to watch, of course not 100% realistic (then again, what sitcom is?), but some of it is. Why do so many people bash on it so much? Its just a sitcom, a fun to watch when its on kind of sitcom.Oh and the fact that they live in Chicago is awesome, I live in the suburbs of Chicago so I can relate a tiny bit. And the fact that they are cubs fans is a MAJOR plus. I'm die hard...

I absolutely loved the first season of this show. As was mentioned in the comments before mine, I can relate with P.J.'s character so much more than I could with other shows such as Sex and The City. I can also relate with P.J.'s friend Stephanie. The two women really seem more grounded and realistic than other female characters on television.I also love the men in this show. It is such a great balance of flaw and great character and truly holds the concept that men are a totally different creature, but should not be at odds with women. We have a lot in common as human beings and as a female viewer it is nice to watch a television show in which the male characters have great qualities and with whom I relate with as well.The writing and acting is sharp and witty and really funny and the acting is fantastic. I get a really warm feeling while watching it and the bottom line is I really care about the people in this story and it is good fun. Oh I also love that there is no laugh track. I HATE laugh tracks! I truly hope this show can continue for many more seasons without losing its charm.

this is to the producers .yea I don't watch TV anymore . Friends went off the air and no more Seinfeld. But since My Boys has come on I again have a favorite show to watch. If you take this show off the air I am going to be very mad. leave it on give it a chance it will be huge. Sometimes people like my friends need a year or so to catch on to a show like this. I am hooked and will watch every episode. So don't cancel it pleeeeeeeease. its the only show i watch in a land of 57 channels and nothing on. there is like flavor of love--that is terrible, and all the terrible stuff on TV. finally a show that had great characters, and an easy going plot. the characters are very likable. the people seem real and the situations are very normal. It is like this show picked up where friends left off. there has been a void in TV for 2 or 3 years but now it is filled. thank you please don't cancel this show . it is my only ttv show
