Two brand-new sitcoms premiered on local US primetime television this March on FOX and NBC: Sons of Tucson and Parenthood.
Sons of Tucson
Sons of Tucson is a hilarious family comedy about three pre-teen brothers who hire Ron (played by Tyler Labine), a local slacker working at a sporting goods store, to fill in as their dad when their real dad goes to prison. Gary, Brandon and Robby Gunderson are the three brothers who concoct this plan. Gary, 11, is the leader of the pack and most likely will follow in the footsteps of his con-man father. Robby, 13, is the eldest and the optimist. Robby, 8, is the youngest and the loose cannon.
Catch Ron and the Gunderson brothers every Sunday night as they try to survive this single-parent home where neither one can give up too much power or independence.
FOX, Sunday, 930/830c
Parenthood
Parenthood is based on the 1989 movie of the same title. It follows the parenthood tales of three generations of the Braverman family. Craig T. Nelson and Bonnie Bedelia play the heads of the family, as Zeek and Camille Braverman. Together they live their lives along with their kids and grandkids. Adam Braverman (played by Peter Krause) plays the oldest son and the glue that holds the family together. Sarah Braverman (played by Lauren Graham) is the second daughter, a single parent to two trouble teenagers. Crosby Braverman (played by Dax Shepard) is 32, unmarried, but recently discovered he has a son with an ex-girlfriend. Julia Braverman-Graham (played by Erika Christensen) is the youngest and a highly competitive lawyer.
NBC, Tuesday, 10/9c
