About a Boy is an American single-camera sitcom television series that aired on NBC from February 22, 2014, to July 20, 2015. The show was developed by Jason Katims and premiered as a midseason replacement following the 2014 Winter Olympics.[1][2][3] It was the second adaptation based on the 1998 novel of the same title by Nick Hornby, preceded by the 2002 theatrical film.[4][5] The series starred David Walton, Minnie Driver and Benjamin Stockham, and used "Comeback Kid (That's My Dog)" by Brett Dennen as its theme song.
