In May 2010, NBC announced that Howard would star in the upcoming television series "Perfect Couples". The half-hour romantic comedy was expected to premiere for the 2010–11 television season. However, on July 1, 2010, Deadline.com reported that Kyle Bornheimer had replaced Kyle Howard as Dave due to uncertainty about whether the actor would be available due to TBS' decision to see how the fourth season of "My Boys" performed before it was renewed or canceled. It was canceled two months later.
