TV show description:
This sitcom follows a successful restaurateur and die-hard bachelor who must come to terms with the family he never knew he had.
Jimmy Martino (John Stamos) is both handsome and charming. Wooing the guests at his restaurant, he often claims he would give up the single life in a second in order to have a family.
One day, twenty-something Gerald (Josh Peck) turns up at the restaurant and introduces himself as Jimmy’s previously unknown son. He’s accompanied by his young daughter, Edie. Not only is Jimmy a father but he’s also a grandfather.
As his life is turned upside down, Jimmy is kept in check by his work family. Assistant manager Annelise (Kelly Jenrette) is a lesbian so she’s immune to his seductive ways. Ken (Ravi Patel) is a chef who’s idea of making a gluten-free dish taste better is to add more gluten.
A long time ago, Gerald’s mother Sara (Paget Brewster) is the one that got away for Jimmy. She never thought Jimmy could be a family man so she kept her son a secret from him.
Gerald is eager for some fatherly advice on how to win the beautiful Vanessa’s (Christina Milan) heart. So, Jimmy is catching up on lost time and starts bonding with his long lost son — while also learning the joys of Grandfatherhood.

What do you think? Do you like the Grandfathered TV show? Do you think it should have been cancelled or renewed for a second season?
Bring this show back Fox!
I just learned about this show and I binge watched the entire first season. My husband and I both enjoyed watching Jimmy and Gerald grow and it has an ongoing great story line. I am sad to see that it was canceled. I think it would be great if the TV station would pick it back up. John Stamos is hot and all, but the show is a view as to what a disfunctional family that is trying to get it together might look like. Bring it back plz
My husband and I look forward watching Grandfathered every week. It’s was a good story line and pretty clean with language and sexual content. That the whole family can watch.
