No season five for PJ and the guys. As expected, TBS has cancelled My Boys after four seasons on the air.
My Boys revolves around Chicago sports writer PJ Franklin (Jordana Spiro) and her close group of male friends. Castmembers include Jamie Kaler, Jim Gaffigan, Kellee Stewart, Kyle Howard, Michael Bunin, and Reid Scott.
It’s been suspected for awhile that TBS wasn’t going to bring the show back for a fifth season but the cable channel wouldn’t confirm it. Speculation was that TBS execs feared that, by admitting the show was ending without a true series finale, not as many viewers would tune in. As it is, an average of only 784,000 people tuned in to see the last two installments.
That decision ultimately cost Spiro and Howard jobs on new NBC shows, Love Bites and Perfect Couples. They were under contract to TBS and NBC wasn’t willing to risk having to recast and reshoot if the cable channel brought My Boys back. Jim Gaffigan left after last season to focus on his stand-up.
What do you think? Are you satisfied with the way My Boys ended? How would you wrap up the series?

The show should have continue cause it need a proper ending plus it was a good show that deserve more seasons
I wish that show would have continued for many more seasons. Well at least two. How come it was canceled anyway?
Yes dere shid hav been a proper finale
Maybe if the shows viewers could speak/write English, the show would have continued
this is so unfair, the show should have had a better finale… i want to see PJ and bobby finally get married and live happily, so as to every1 else
I would have ended it by all of them going to a Cubs game, and the crappy stadium collapses on them cause it’s such a piece of crap. The end.
