When their father goes to prison, the Gunderson boys -- Robby, 8, Gary, 11, and Brandon, 13 -- hire a stand-in to take over the reins of their household. Ron Snuffkin steps into the void left by their father to take care of the boys, and what begins as a business arrangement evolves into a family unit unlike any other.

Another formulaic and forgettable FOX sitcom, Sons of Tucson fails to bring anything new to the genre or the network.

The premise is creepy, the brothers not funny, and Labine not very well-used - unless you enjoy watching him crash into things over and over and over. Pass. Go to Full Review
Robert Lloyd Los Angeles Times 05/06/2020
"Sons of Tucson..." is a lesson in just how many old tropes, previously seen characters and stock situations one may hammer together into a television series and still arrive at something fresh and real. Go to Full Review
Emily St. James AV Club 05/06/2020
Sons of Tucson has a premise too potentially creepy for it to be as mediocre as it is. Go to Full Review
Amie Gibb TV Equals 05/06/2020
Sons of Tucson is a fun, edgy, show and well worth checking out. Go to Full Review

Stephen C @bob25009 Jul 25 13 funny Fox episodes!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Rated TV-PG for Some Suggestive Dialogue (D), Infrequent Coarse Language (L) and Moderate Violence (V)!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! See more 09/26/2017 Was sad to see this get cancelled when it was airing, and now I'm sad to see it leave Netflix after all these years. (AT LEAST five years, but I think it was actually more like six, or maybe even seven.!) It's not the best show ever, and I've seen it multiple times so it's not nearly as good as it once was, but it's not that bad, and I saw potential! I'll watch anything with Tyler Labine, and then this also had a lot of connections with Malcolm in the Middle, especially one of my favorite directors and writers Todd Holland! I also see why this is often compared to Malcolm in the Middle, but I don't think it's similar enough to call it a cheap rip off! I'm sorry it's off of Netflix now, but here are my favorite episodes, which are the Pilot, The Debate Trip, and Glenn's Birthday! I also thought it ended well enough to be a fine series finale. Also, this is one of Tyler Labine's best performances on TV, if not his best! (I think it's definitely my favorite, though!) Here's to it hopefully getting on Hulu, along with Malcolm in the Middle, soon, or at least at some point! Or maybe just getting back onto Netflix too! Either would work! See more 09/20/2014 Dude this show was awesome... I enjoyed and was pissed I couldn't get more... Tyler Labine's is spot on with his stoner comedy... I don't get the reviews... critics are losers!!! See more 02/02/2014 Sons of Tuscon is so bad, it's pathetic. See more Read all reviews
