Nothing like HSM. It's a musical, but it's completely different. Show Choir, sounded really stupid before watching, but I think the point gets made, to each their own. Even better, when different tastes and talents mix together for one big Spectacular! It's a great storyline, the kind we need more of. It wasn't corny or stupid. Well, the cow costumes were "lame." I'll admit that one. One comparison though, the writer of this movie, enjoyed the final stage performance on Sister Act II. It works though. It was different enough from what's already been done, to have made it worth watching. And it would be worth it for Nickelodeon to make a Spectacular 2!

My Boys
(2006–2010)
Excellent Show! Glad I found it just in time before Season 2 Starts!
12 June 2008
Recently during a homebound injury day and a vomiting amount of NOTHING to watch on TV, I came across the First season of My Boys on TBS' On Demand section, and the boring day was flushed away.
I'm bummed I never tuned in before on a weekly basis, because this show is EXCELLENT! I probably never watched originally because the Title has that girl-show sound to it. But as a guy, I was won over. It's got it's own unique sense of humor that I found genuinely intelligent (few bits of corny too) and there are scenes that create an enjoyable laugh.
Personally, I'm so sick of the many copycat shows that exist purely on the lowest common denominator of gutter comedy. The language of this show is real, it's adult, it's comfortable, and it is funny. My Boys also has a nice fluidity from episode to episode. There's an underlying flow, not just what crazy mishap'll take place this week. And at the end of some, there's a positive ending. That part I really like.
Lastly, the ensemble cast is a great mix of characters and personalities. It's not a bunch of stereotypes inflated by a funhouse mirror, but a likable group of friends who enjoy Baseball, Poker, and each other. They have a real chemistry as a group.
My Boys is different from what else is on TV. Guys and gals will love the show. And I'm really really really glad that a show has been made that doesn't make me feel like I need a shower after I watch it.
I enjoy. You will too.
The show was an entertaining Surprise, and a good one at that. Well worth tuning in for Season 2 on a weekly basis.
