Sons of Tucson was slacker comedy at it's best! It had a fairly original concept of a lovable loser being paid by three rich kids to pose as their father in an effort to avoid detection of child protective services, police, teachers, and nosy neighbors. Fans of My Name is Earl & Raising Hope will love this show! The chemistry between the actors is excellent. You almost believe they kind of give a damn about one another! Top episodes are the pilot, Dog Days of Tucson, Father's Day and Debate Trip! You will not be disappointed in this show! It's a shame that this shining light of comedy was canceled by the idiots at FOX after a mere 3 episodes! Thank God Netflix posted the entire season totaling 13 episodes.
This show is refreshingly hilarious. A dad for hire is a great concept with excellent potential for development.It is the future of the modern day family.
Regardless a few consider the boys on Sons of Tucson to be obnoxious and precocious, I believe they are no different from children on other shows. Honestly the days of Brady bunch and the Cosby kids are long gone. Even children in real life are like that nowadays.
A couple of episodes like family album and kisses and beads are below my expectations. Nevertheless, the show had potential (Now I have to use the past tense!). I enjoyed the feisty exchange between Angela and Ron very much. The dialogs are well-written.Kudos to writers. And Sarayu is super. No doubt, hands down, she is a winner.
It is sad that the network did not care to give it a fair chance.
P.S.: After watching all the episodes, I have to say this. I am a big fan of Sarayu. She has bright future. Looking forward to seeing more of Sarayu.

Gary, Brandon, and Robby Gunderson are brothers who traveled from Jersey to live in an investment home in Tucson, Arizona after their banker father was sent to prison. Ron Snuffkin (Tyler Labine) is a homeless slacker working at a sports equipment store. The boys hire him to pretend to be their father and avoid child services. It starts as a $200 job for a hour-long school meeting but soon becomes a deal for $300 a week and a place to stay. The boys stick Ron in the backyard tool shed. Glenn is Ron's longtime friend and Glenn's bossy wife Angela intends to keep them apart.
It's a lot of wild irreverent hijinx. Labine has always played this brash slacker slob type. This show is the embodiment of Labine's persona. The three boys deliver specific characters who bring chaos into this unusual family. This was canceled after four episodes with nine more in total. One of the things that early episodes missed is the heart. The anger and chaos can overwhelm the show. On a minor note, this show is missing a main female character to balance out the show. It has a few laughs but the audience was never big enough.

I have to agree with the other two reviews that have been posted so far. I loved Reaper, I love The Loop, and I loved Sons of Tucson. There are a few other shows I loved as well and they were canceled before being given a chance. I am curious about the ratings of Survivor at this point. I would have to think they are much lower than they used to be yet they keep churning out show-after-show of fake drama.
Day Break was another one that got axed early and it was only slated for 13 episodes at the very beginning. What's the point of canceling it when it is slated as only one season? Viewer outcry at least drove the network to run the rest of the episodes online as I believe the Black Donnellys might have as well.
I think it is time to do more than the Nielson system. I cannot understand, with all of the other unwanted intrusion in our lives, why cable cannot just do real time ratings as well as take into account DVRs, online viewing, etc...

If you look at the people who gave this trash good reviews you will see that this is the only title they reviewed. Its stupid. It would be ok if a 6th grader had made it for a school project.
