one of the best shows I've ever seen. after watching one episode i was hooked! more people should watch this show. it really is amazing and deserves a better rating than 3 out of 5. i really enjoy the shows diversity and characters. not many show out there have a half Asian and half American main character and shows the life of their family and friends. by far the best character is probably Owen! the humor and jokes are fresh and funny. each character is very unique and the creators have put in a lot of work to give them depth. believe me when i say this, you will love Sullivan and son, just give it a chance. you will see what an outstanding show it is.

I really wanted to like this show. I am a fan of Steve Bryne. He is a very funny guy if you have not seen his stand up check it out on youtube...but I just could not get into the show. I gave it three episodes and gave up. Here is the problem with this show the writers are missing the second act. There should be a first act, a second act, and a third act but with Sullivan and Son there is no second act. They completely skip it sometimes there is not even a third act. For example there was an episode with Steve's best friend where the bar is shut down and he goes off to get a real job. This could be interesting if you actually see him actually working and trying to be a real adult but you really don't see any of that. This is pretty much what happen... hey guys I have a real job now and end of the show hey guys that job was not for me......whats the point of even having that as a storyline if you are going to go in detail with it. Just so you can use it to have a few semi funny one liners? The show does not do enough or involve you enough with the characters and the story for you to enjoy the show.

Nice ensemble . . . pleasant cast . . . nice characters . . . BUT . . . it's kind of tame/lame. Nice idea . . . just not all that funny. What's on next?Above is all I have to say.IMDb requires at least ten lines of . . . text . . . so, I'm typing this stuff to fill it out.Sorry to have to do this but . . . I have nothing more to say about this show.Is this enough?Apparently not . . . it only counted what I wrote as six lines.Well, the above . . . hopefully counted as seven.Here goes eight: The quick brown fox jumped over the lazy dog.The quick brown fox jumped over the lazy dog . . . again.And, for the tenth time, the quick brown fox jumped over the lazy dog . . . who was . . . really lazy!!!!

I've read a lot of reviews online that don't particularly like the show. It's been labeled as a generic, recycled version of "Cheers." I say...so what? Cheers was a good show. There's so much crap on TV these days, so it's nice to have a show that hearkens back to the old days. You might not fall out of your seat laughing at the jokes on this show, but they'll give you a good chuckle. The plot may be somewhat predictable, but it's still pretty entertaining.It's like my mom said a few weeks ago...you don't watch Dumb and Dumber to be intellectually stimulated, you don't go see Magic Mike for some life-changing revelation, and you don't watch Sullivan & Son and expect to be amazed. You watch all those to be entertained. And they are entertaining.At any rate, this show is a CRAP TON better than "Men at Work," TBS's other original sitcom.
