Sons of Tucson

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 was great! What a wonderful break from reality T.V. and crap shows like the Marriage Ref. The dialog between the characters was solid and playful...even the kids are fun in this show. It didn't leave you feeling like you wasted time watching mindless television, but instead it always did it's job and left you feeling light and ENTERTAINED (something the masses have been missing for awhile now). This show would have done well if given the chance to blossom. Oh but alas the all knowing powers that be think they know what we want to see and cancel every show I enjoyed like... Reaper, My Name is Earl and Sons of Tucson. Well I hope that Tyler Labine continues to get great roles. I'll be watching and hoping they don't cancel the next show. One day the world might enjoy something other than pure garbage...what a shame

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.

I'm a huge Malcolm in the Middle fan, and am actually amazed that show survived as long as it did, since most shows that are based around children as protagonists have a built-in shelf-life (i.e. they usually don't endure long after the main character has to begin shaving his/her face/legs). But while "MIM" had incredible writing, sharp timing/editing, unique characters and performances and above all a multi-layered sense of comedy that transcended generations (i.e. you could watch it with your kids feeling comfortable they wouldn't "get" certain jokes until they were older) Son's of Tucson had NONE OF THIS. It's evident they poached a couple of MIM's writers and tried to resurrect a formula of 3 embattled yet bonded brothers, but the result was just painful and embarrassing to watch for so many reasons. There's no danger of this ever coming back in syndication (even in Albania) so luckily it will most likely only live on in reviews like these on the internet...and the world is all the richer for it.

This is a clear rip-off of Malcolm in the Middle (which I actually liked, as other posters here stated as well). Anyone who can't understand this is simply stupid. Three of the writers of MIM were behind this farce; Matthew Carlson, Andy Bobrow and Michael Glouberman, as well as 2 of MIM's directors, Todd Holland and Peter Lauer. And to drive this point home, Justin Berfield (whom I actually respected before this) was the Executive Producer here. Justin in fact proves to the world that you simply cannot regurgitate a formula (i.e. 3 brothers against adults) and expect it to work just because a previous hit used it. And sadly, Justin just couldn't resist a spot in FRONT of the camera in the last episode, playing some obnoxious neighbor who everyone is instantly supposed to revile...even though there was no set-up or motivation to do so before this episode...which means it doesn't work. With all disrespect to the brain-dead, clueless wannabe "film critic" here whom no one has ever heard of, listens to or cares about in any way, this mess could only be appreciated by someone too stupid to understand the difference between good and bad comedy.
