Michael's My Boys Blog

Here we are, the season finale! First of all, thanks so much to everyone for watching, leaving comments and so on!

We are gonna see the last two episodes, in which a lot of discoveries and decisions are made. Andy (Jim Gaffigan) goes through quite a bit of change after being told he is having another kid. We see him struggle with where he is in life, and we then see him try to change things up and maybe even go a little crazy.

PJ (Jordana Spiro) and the guys realize that even though they live in Chicago, they may have taken some of the city for granted. They all start listing the things they have never done. These are just some of the things that make Chicago great! We shot in Chicago for a week this time around, and I have to tell you it is never enough. The people, the food, the vibe — I'm not sure if it gets much better! I lived there for a few summers, and a lot of our writers are from Chicago and lived there for many years, so we all took turns picking our old haunts to hang in. Whether it was Twin Anchors for ribs, Father & Son for pizza, or Giordanos, Danny's Tavern, Mr. Beef... the list goes on and on... we just can't get enough. I even enjoyed running into Mail Box Mary — nice to see she is still around.

Well, the guys have their day checking things off the list, but PJ still has a decision to make about Italy! While thinking about who to take, she seems to be letting Mike and Kenny slip into her subconscious a little, and it scares her. She does get on the plane, but with whom????

Thanks again from everyone here at My Boys, and we hope to see ya soon!!!

This week on TBS' My Boys, we take a trip to the 'burbs to see where Andy (played by Jim Gaffigan) lives. A potential nightmare for the boys, they decide it could be a good opportunity to meet some suburban chicks.

This episode was shot at the Warner Ranch. The backyard was used for many years by The Partridge Family (just a piece of nostalgia for those of you old enough to remember). The Warner Ranch was fun because you are shooting on the same street with the houses of Dennis the Menace and Sergeant Murtaugh from Lethal Weapon. We got Gary Busey to reenact the fight in the front yard. No, we didn't — that would be ridiculous. Cool, but ridiculous. We get to see the guys push each other aside or sell each other out to meet these girls. Bobby can't seem to find the place, but the guys keep thinking they see him at the BBQ.

The BBQ is filled with kids. And if a hot girl has a kid, well then Mike (Jamie Kaler) figures the best approach is to show her he's good with kids. Jamie was basically playing games with the kids all day. I kept telling them to climb on him. After 12 hours he was a bit tired. Much like his character, he is single and not used to having to deal with kids all day. You see, he might curse every once in a while. And every time he did, he had to give each kid a dollar. I don't want to guess how much he had to pay out.

Andy's wife, Meredith, played by Jim's real wife, Jeanie Gaffigan, has some news and we also get to meet PJ's parents. Her mom seems to find a guy at the BBQ for PJ. Hmmm?

Well, until next time, thanks again for watching and for all your comments!!

Hello, and welcome to my first blog. I hope it isn’t too boring.

First of all, thanks for watching and for all the great feedback you leave us at TBS.com. It means so much!

Well, here we are, the episode named "Second Chances." We have yet another fun guest star this week: Jeremy Sisto. Jeremy is great guy! He and I have actually known each other for a while now from playing quite a bit of poker over the last few years. He joked a lot about how much fun he had shooting this episode but that he was sad he didn’t get to play poker with "the Boys." He views that as a coveted thing for a guest star to do. Maybe next time, buddy. Jeremy plays PJ’s ex-flame who brings back old memories. Then they... well, I can’t tell you everything.

I had a ton of fun shooting this one. Brendan seems to be more of a jerk lately and continues as such in this episode. And we finally get to see where Kenny works! The store looked really good. Our design crew does a great job every week building our sets. I was able to sneak a couple of pictures of my dad into the store. Don’t tell my boss. They are pictures of him as a kid wearing boxing gloves. If you look closely, you can see one hanging on the wall and another in a later shot on the counter. I got the idea from Jamie Kaler, who has a picture of his dad in his/Mike’s apartment. It’s the little things that are the most fun.

Working with Jim Gaffigan is always a good time, but we often get into trouble. We are not shy about trying to get each other to laugh in the middle of a take. Everyone has fun, but for some reason Jim and I can’t seem to keep a straight face when we work together. We like to goof around — everyone does — but sometimes we can’t stop laughing. There is a negotiation scene between Mike, Kenny, Bobby and Andy where Jim Gaffigan and Jamie Kaler just kept making me laugh. Then I got them to break. It was a fun week. I hope you can’t tell that we are all on the brink of cracking up.

Thanks for watching!!!
