SONS OF TUCSON

(Midseason: Sundays, 8:30-9:00 PM ET/PT)

In the tradition of "Malcolm in the Middle" and "The Bernie Mac Show," SONS OF TUCSON is a family comedy about three brothers who hire a charming, wayward schemer to stand in as their father when their real one goes to prison. What begins as a business relationship evolves into something more complex and compelling: a family unlike any we've ever seen.

The three brothers find their dad-for-hire, RON SNUFFKIN (Tyler Labine), working at the local sporting goods store. Ron, a lovable slacker who can't catch a break, is forced to draw from an array of skills and dig into a vast bag of tricks as he steps into the role of patriarch to the boys of the Gunderson family. ROBBY GUNDERSON (Benjamin Stockham), 8, is a loose cannon who doesn't respond well to authority; GARY GUNDERSON (Frank Dolce), 11, is a bright and street-savvy leader who is every bit the con man that his father is; and BRANDON GUNDERSON (Matthew Levy), 13, is a gentle free spirit who goes along for the ride.

While SONS OF TUCSON is grounded in the day-to-day challenges of a single-parent home, nothing in the Gunderson household is quite what it seems. An ongoing chess match between Ron and the boys keeps both parties on their toes, as neither side can afford to give up too much power or independence.

SONS OF TUCSON is directed by three-time Emmy Award-winner Todd Holland and produced by 20th Century Fox Television and J2TV. Justin Berfield, Jason Felts, Harvey Myman, Todd Holland and Matthew Carlson serve as executive producers. Tommy Dewey and Greg Bratman wrote the pilot.
