‘About a Boy’

Executive producer Jason Katims had back-to-back successful movies turned shows with “Parenthood” and “Friday Night Lights” and he was hoping to get a successful trifecta by introducing “About a Boy.” Unfortunately, this show just didn’t hit as hard as the other two. It could be because this was a half-hour sitcom while the other two were hour-long dramas, but it could also be because the story just wasn’t as strong as the others. The show lasted two seasons.
