Worst Show Ever

"My Boys" is a new show on TBS and it is very, very bad. It follows the daily life of a young woman who is the Chicago Cubs beat writer for a major Chicago newspaper. All her friends are men and it ruins her love life. The problems with the show are too numerous to list here so I'll only mention two. First, it is not believable that this twenty something attractive woman has this job reserved for alcoholic men without families because they spend 100 days a year traveling and another 100 days a year at the ballpark. Assuming I can suspend disbelief long enough to believe this person has the job she has, there is a second great flaw which makes the show, currently, one of the three worst on television.

The flaw and most annoying aspect are constant voice overs comparing the lead character's situation to a common baseball truism. For example, the guy she likes who gets along well with her but doesn't get along with her friends is a "cancer in the clubhouse." Need I say more. If this show lasts one more episode I will be in absolute shock. It won't be the first time.

Good Morning Miami was on the air for 2 seasons (although it was canceled midway through the second). In all, 31 episodes were aired and each time my wife and were stricken with disbelief. The trend continues as The War At Home punishes anyone who tunes into Fox after The Family Guy. What happened to Michael Rapaport? He went from edgy movie star, to sporadically funny Friends co-star, to Boston Public, to whiny homophobic idiotic caricature of an American father. I hope he's getting a big payday because his career may be over. How do these shows get on the air and stay on the air when shows I enjoy never last, e.g., Arrested Development.

I am patiently waiting for the next season of It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia and this week's episode of The Office.
