TBS is going 2-for-2 with its new comedy series with a renewal of freshman Sullivan & Son executive produced by Vince Vaughn. As part of its return to half-hour sitcoms, TBS launched two new shows behind its blockbuster off-network performer The Big Bang Theory this year, Men At Work and Sullivan & Son. Both have now been picked up for a second season.
Airing Thursdays at 10 PM, Sullivan & Son, which has received a 10-episode second-season order, is averaging more than 2.5 million viewers. “Sullivan & Son has gotten off to a strong start, quickly building its own fan base,” said TBS’ head of programming Michael Wright. After a solid launch with 2.5 million viewers, Sullivan & Son exceeded expectations in Week 2 when it held onto 100% of its premiere audience. The series stars Steve Byrne as a corporate attorney who finds new life behind the bar when he leaves his Manhattan lifestyle and moves to Pittsburgh to take over his parents’ pub. Byrne is joined by an ensemble cast that includes Christine Ebersole, Brian Doyle-Murray, Jodi Long, Valerie Azlynn, Vivian Bang, Owen Benjamin and Dan Lauria. Sullivan & Son is executive produced by Vaughn, Peter Billingsley and showrunner Rob Long. Created by Long and Byrne, Sullivan & Son comes to TBS from Wild West Television in association with Warner Horizon Television.

New ‘Man Of Steel’ Television Spot #6


I LOVE love love this show! It gets funnier week after week. The whole cast has something to offer and I really think this deserves more than 10 episodes, but I will take what I can get. Definitely better than most prime time shows on regular television. Very excited for its return!
Good to see more diversity on television.
Having lived through the 90′s, I never thought I’d live in such a time that TBS and USA were two of the most-watched networks on my television.
This show was awful in every way imaginable. Of course it was renewed.
This show is great! I look forward to it every week!
Fantastic news. The show has been funnier with each episode, and I’m so glad we will be able to continue to enjoy this great group of loonies.
By the way, Valerie Azlynn seems familiar, but I can’t seem to remember where I saw her before. What else has she been in?
So pumped. Everyone I know loves this show. The moms are the best. Good to see strong comedic female characters.
Love the show, each line is funny and quick, sometimes to quick.
It’s good to have a comedy to laugh at instead of the crime shows. Keep the laughs coming!
This is disappointing news. Tells us that if you write to get to the bottom of the barrel you can succeed.
I’m glad its coming back. There are 11 main characters. I really like that. Very dfferent. And most of the cast is really solid.
I am super-excited for next season! I absolutely love this show! Ever single member in the cast has something to offer in their own hilarious way. Some people may think it vulgar or at times idiotic; but it’s the kind of show that we all could use. We are so wound up on being politically correct and sensitive no to mention that I’m soooo tired of all the cop/detective/hospital shows. It’s about time some one brought back a Cheers-like show. This show is funny, it is vulgar but it’s the kind of vulgar that we think about everyday but are too afraid to say out loud and thats refreshing. To me its a Great show; a funny show. I hope there are many more to come!
This is a great show! When my wife and I watch the show, we get belly-laughs, not just the occasional chuckle. Another great thing – this show doesn’t try to teach any politically correct message. We’re inundated with this all day, and try to avoid it as much as possible at night. When we watch this show, we’re just along for the ride and in it for the laughs.
It is the asian version of cheers. Love it can not wait for thursday at 10:00 pm on tbs.
My whole family loves this show. I’m like the rest of the commenters, I was born in the 60′s and am tired of everything having to be politically correct. So this show is a breath of fresh air. I hope it continues to be renewed. We love that the show has so many main characters. And yes it makes us laugh out loud as opposed to just a smile or chuckle. Keep up the good work TBS!!!! Also like Men at Work. It took a few episodes, and glad I stuck with it. It got funnier as the season progressed.
I’m so happy to see “Sullivan and Son” is coming back for another season.. this show is hilarious.. the kind of fun entertainment that has been lacking from previous shows.. The jokes, the characters and the shock factor is great..a perfect mix !!
Keep up the good work..
It’s a pretty funny show!! I’m glad it’s back for 2nd season!!!!!
