The 'Boys' are finally back in town! When the under-the-radar TBS comedy 'My Boys,' returns for its fourth season Sun., July 25 at 10PM ET, we'll be watching (with beer in hand, of course).

Star Jamie Kaler, who plays goofball Mike Callahan, stopped by the TV Squad offices to talk to us about what's coming up on the show and the comedy tour he and castmate Mike Bunin (Kenny) are embarking on across the country (see the schedule at Kaler's site). Plus, we chatted about the games they play on set, why none of us excel at poker and why editor Patricia Chui sucks at bowling.

Most importantly, Kaler reenacted our absolute favorite line from 'My Boys' (I'm making it my ringtone!).

We're also giving away a copy of 'My Boys' seasons 2 and 3 on DVD (in stores now). For the chance to win, submit a comment below telling us your favorite line from 'My Boys.' Please use a valid email address. The contest deadline is 6PM EST on Tuesday, July 27, so make sure to get your entry in on time!

Watch the video, after the jump ...

Year after year, I've tuned into the Emmy nominations only to end the morning feeling bitter and disappointed that my favorites yet again didn't get nominated.

Then, last week -- shock of shockers -- Emmy got it ... well ... more right, with Connie Britton and Kyle Chandler earning much-deserved, much-delayed nominations for their fine work on 'Friday Night Lights.'

But of course, there were still outrageous snubs (where is 'Community'? Katey Sagal?!) and Patricia Chui joined me to talk about who got robbed of Emmy nominations.

Plus, we chat about the sad turn of events on 'So You Think You Can Dance.'

What's-His-Face is totally winning this season of 'Top Chef.'

OK, so it's a bit early to be placing our bets on who might take the title of 'Top Chef: D.C.,' considering we can't even remember half of the cheftestants names. But Joel Keller and Chris Harnick join me to make early predictions.

Plus, we discuss the possible replacements for retiring CNN host Larry King. Seacrest in? Will Piers Morgan will take on the mantle?

Watch the latest installment of the DVR Divas show ...

'The Bachelorette' and 'Entourage' are guilty pleasures that I can't quite stop myself from watching. ABC's dating reality franchise has an abysmal track record when it comes to relationships -- only two couples who met on the show have gotten married and most broke up a millisecond after the season ended). And HBO's once-glamorous, once-humorous comedy isn't really either anymore.

So why do viewers like myself keep watching? Well, one way for a show to keep our interest is SCANDAL, like tonight's big 'Bachelorette' twist. Divas crew and I dissect the latest rumors and spoilers about Ali Fedotowsky and her suitors, plus talk about our (unhealthy?) need to keep watching 'Entourage.'

Summer is here and DVR Divas kicks off the new season with some talk about brand new summer shows.

The return of 'True Blood' has everyone sweating like it's summer in Bon Temps but the Divas are most excited for one particular blond vampire. (Hint: His name rhymes with 'Deric Dorthman.')

Reality shows like 'Top Chef' and 'So You Think You Can Dance' also return.

Also, the much-loved Betty White makes her sitcom comeback in TV Land's 'Hot in Cleveland.'

Join AOL TV's Patricia Chui, Kelly Woo, Chris Harnick and Gaby Dunn for some summer TV lovin'.

While you were chowing down on turkey on Thanksgiving Day or toasting with champagne this past New Year's Eve, Captain Chuck Swift and Peter Hammerstedt were chasing down whaling ships in frigid Antarctic waters.

They're part of a group called the Sea Shepherds, a marine conservation society, and their battles against whalers are documented on Animal Planet's hit series, 'Whale Wars.'

Season 3 begins tonight at 9PM ET, and Swift and Hammerstedt stopped by our studio to chat with myself and fellow TV Squad editor Patricia Chui about what to expect (lots more danger), the operation's new ship (named for a generous game show host) and how they got involved with Sea Shepherds.

As we head into summer, most of us TV addicts regard the finale season just passed with a combination of sorrow and relief -- sorrow that our favorite TV shows have ended (some of them for good), and relief that with less TV to watch, maybe we'll actually start being productive around the house for once. (Yeah, right. After all, there's always 'Wipeout.')

Our DVR Divas panel of Joel Keller, Patricia Chui, Andy Scott and Kelly Woo, unwilling to let go, took one last nostalgic look back at this season's big finishes -- from hugely anticipated series finales ('Lost,' '24') to big series finales ('Grey's Anatomy,' 'Dancing With the Stars') to endings that seemed anticlimactic ('The Office').

Every May, as all the hottest television shows are wrapping up their seasons, the networks like to tease us with what's coming up the following fall. It's called upfronts week, and this year's announcements of cancellations, pick-ups and schedule changes were particularly explosive.

We invited TV Guide Magazine's senior critic, Matt Roush (@RoushTVGuideMag), to discuss the new shows (J.J. Abrams' 'UnderCovers' looks hot!) and the biggest scheduling moves ('Big Bang Theory' to Thursday!). Also joining me (@kellyaoltv) were news editor Andy Scott (@aolandy) and editorial assistant Chris Harnick (@chrisharnick).

Watch what we had to say about upfronts ...

On Sunday's upfronts conference call, NBC unveiled its fall lineup -- and one of the surprises was that sophomore sitcom and critical darling 'Parks and Recreation' would not be part of the fall schedule, but would be moved to midseason.

'Parks,' of course, is part of NBC's Thursday-night lineup, otherwise known (in one of the most insidious and effective examples of TV advertising ever) as "must-see TV." Historically, it's been a powerhouse of a night, since the '80s it's boasted such successes as 'The Cosby Show,' 'Friends,' 'Seinfeld,' 'L.A. Law' and 'ER.'

But have Thursday nights on NBC always been great? How does the current slate of shows compare to past blocks of programming? Does the lack of a strong ensemble drama cripple the lineup irreparably (and can 'Love Bites,' which will be filling that 10PM slot, save NBC's Thursdays from a season of 'The Jay Leno Show' and 'The Marriage Ref')?

May sweeps are upon us, and you know what that means: It's make or break time for shows on the bubble. This year, popular shows such as 'Two and a Half Men' and 'One Tree Hill' could go either way -- they could come back or join other shows in cancellation heaven.

Patricia Chui, Kelly Woo and Chris Harnick talk about bubble shows such as 'Law and Order,' 'Mercy,' 'V,' 'The Human Target' and other shows from The CW, ABC, NBC, Fox and CBS and what their chances are for renewal.

Plus, in honor of Mother's Day we reveal our favorite TV moms currently on the air.

When Maura Tierney dropped out of 'Parenthood' to focus on her cancer treatment, it looked like trouble for the midseason show. But things have not only gotten better -- they've gotten great.

Patricia Chui, Brooke Tarnoff, Denise Warner and Kelly Woo talk about how and why 'Parenthood' has become one of NBC's nicest surprises. Welcome back, Lauren Graham!

Also: Kate Gosselin's long overdue departure from 'Dancing With the Stars' -- do we feel sorry for her, or think it's long past time for her to exit the spotlight?

'Bones' just aired its 100th episode, and used the occasion to tease Bones and Booth's potential romantic relationship with a kiss ... that happened in the past. Is the show, by trying not to pull a 'Moonlighting,' toying with fans too much?

Patricia Chui, Chris Harnick, Andrew Scott and Denise Warner (of Girls on Pop fame), in discussing how the 'Bones' 100th episode may be the last straw for loyal viewers, reminisce about other will-they-or-won't-they TV couples (Mulder and Scully, Jim and Pam, Ross and Rachel) and whether or not they ruined their shows.

Also: We're psyched for the second-half premiere of 'Glee,' and we tell you what's in store for the 'Glee' kids this season -- as well as what the show needs to do to keep being great.

'American Idol' and 'Dancing With the Stars' are in full swing, but there's another big reality-competition show on the horizon: 'So You Think You Can Dance.'

Patricia Chui, Kelly Woo and guest Brooke Tarnoff (of Girls on Pop) discuss the recently announced changes to the show's format: Will they make the show better, or worse? And which of the three people on the right will reportedly be spending less time at the judges' table?

Plus: The end of the once-beloved '24,' which shows we've been hoarding on our DVRs (breaking up is just so hard to do), and the iPad episode of 'Modern Family.'

The birds are chirping, the daffodils are blooming and celebrities are dancing -- spring is here!

My fellow AOL TV staffers, Andrew Scott and Chris Harnick, joined me to talk about the new season of 'Dancing With the Stars.' We dish about Pam Anderson's hair, whether Kate Gosselin would be eliminated first and which contestants surprised us.

Plus: We talk about the end of 'The Hills,' the end of Izzie on 'Grey's Anatomy' and more!

DVR Divas is back, and Kelly and Patricia have lots to talk about -- starting with the 'American Idol' Top 12 (not to co-opt our SomethingPitchy cohorts, but given this season's shocking ousters, we just couldn't resist), moving on to our surprising love of 'Cougar Town' and how it's better than 'Scrubs,' and ending with just what went wrong with this season of 'Big Love.'
