That Was Quick: FOX Pulls 'Sons of Tuscon'
From the very first commercials for Fox's 'Sons of Tucson,' it was hard to imagine the show lasting. It looked like a vehicle designed for Jack Black that fell in Tyler Labine's lap - three kids hire a bearded, chubby slacker to pose as their dad when their real father goes to prison. Labine even says, in the debut episode, that he is going to "rock it hard." It was your standard non-standard family unit (undoubtedly with heart) that has been the bread and butter of sitcoms for decades. Precocious kids, a funny guy with a bit of a beer tummy - how could it fail?
Well, four episodes into its run, 'Sons of Tucson' is done, according to The Hollywood Reporter. The Reporter wrote today that the show is no longer on Fox's schedule, and will come back this summer on Sundays at 7:30 PM, where the rest of the episodes will be "burned off." It's a quiet little spot where the show can go to die, along with 'Til Death,' which the Reporter said has also been officially canceled, and will finish its run Sundays at 7 PM.
'American Dad' will take the 9:30 PM spot 'Sons of Tucson' was occupying.
