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.

Critics Consensus

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

Alan Sepinwall Newark Star-Ledger 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. May 6, 2020 Full Review Robert Lloyd Los Angeles Times "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. May 6, 2020 Full Review Emily St. James AV Club Sons of Tucson has a premise too potentially creepy for it to be as mediocre as it is. May 6, 2020 Full Review Amie Gibb TV Equals Sons of Tucson is a fun, edgy, show and well worth checking out. May 6, 2020 Full Review Brendan Bettinger Collider In the first three episodes, Tucson proves that this blended family is good for at least a few laughs each week. May 6, 2020 Full Review Kari Croop Common Sense Media In terms of plot, Sons of Tucson asks a lot from its audience and doesn't necessarily pay them back with the laugh-out-loud moments they might have been expecting. Rated: 2/5 May 6, 2020 Full Review Read all reviews

Audience Member 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! Rated 3 out of 5 stars 01/09/23 Full Review Audience Member 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!!! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/09/23 Full Review Audience Member Sons of Tuscon is so bad, it's pathetic.
