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, "Reaper"), at the local sporting good store. Ron will be forced to draw on a wide array of skills and a vast bag of tricks as he steps into the patriarch role to take care of the boys of the Gunderson family. ROBBY GUNDERSON, 8, is a loose cannon who doesn't take garbage from anyone; GARY GUNDERSON (Frank Dolce, "Doubt"), 11, is a bright and street-savvy leader who is every bit the con man his father is; and BRANDON GUNDERSON, 13, is a gentle free spirit who goes along for the ride.

my take
Dad goes to prison, so three brothers hire a Dad. Um? It's pedigree does have Todd Holland as Executive Producer and the show sounds like it's Malcolm in the Middle-like, without Lois. Tyler Labine was great in Reaper...but can he carry a show. It's a midseason replacement and live-action scheduled in Fox's Sunday animation block. I'm not feeling it.
