Life with Boys is a American teen sitcom that started broadcasting in the United States on CBS in September 2011. It follows Tess Foster (Torri Webster) as she tries to cope living in a home with just boys; her father, Jack, and three brothers, Gabe, Spencer and Sam. With the help of her best friend Allie (Madison Pettis), she pulls through just fine. Even though she lives a life with boys she makes it through with her best friend.

Premise[]

Each half-hour episode follows 15-year-old Tess Foster as she navigates her way through the turmoil of teen life while living at home with her single, overprotective dad and three brothers. Although Tess adores the four important men in her life, they do have four totally different perspectives. Despite the shortcomings of being the only girl in a male household, the boys can sometimes offer solid advice. Whether it’s building up the courage to talk to a boy, dealing with an obnoxious one, or coping with the repercussions of being the only girl on the boys’ wrestling team, Life With Boys sheds a comedic light on many of life’s difficult moments.
