My Boys, "Welcome Back, Kalla Fotter": Police those moo-stashes!

Quick thoughts on the "My Boys" third season premiere coming up just as soon as I get a bicycle with one giant wheel and one tiny wheel...

I don't have much to add to yesterday's "My Boys" column, other than one bit of praise and one complaint.

First, the praise: they got the hell out of that unfunny wedding set-up as fast as they could and quickly jumped back into the things that make "My Boys" so much fun, like mustaches, and PJ's ignorance of girly things (the Keira Knightley discussion with Stef), and Andy wandering in and out of scenes making comments about everyone else. (Also, if you haven't watched Jim Gaffigan's "King Baby" special on Comedy Central this week, you really must. Genius.) And even PJ finally getting together with Bobby at the end felt like a part of the show, since they've been circling each other since the pilot, and since putting her in an ongoing relationship with one of the boys has a lot of comic potential (some of which is realized in the next few episodes).

Now, the complaint: how do you spend most of an episode on the boys growing mustaches in a contest and not tell us who won? It's an outrage! An outrage!

What did everyone else think?
