After a poor start, FOX pulled Sons of Tucson from the schedule. The network maintained that TV show was not cancelled. Well, it is now.
Sons of Tucson follows a sporting goods store clerk (Tyler Labine) who lives in his car. He’s hired by three boys (Benjamin Stockham, Frank Dolce, and Matthew Levy) to play their father for a school meeting after their real dad goes to jail for banking fraud. In case of future emergencies, he moves into their tool shed. The series also features Sarayu Rao, Edwin Habacon, and Natalie Martinez.
The series got off to a poor start with just a 2.1 rating in the 18-49 demographic and 4.47 million viewers. Subsequent episodes performed even worse, with number four attracting only a 1.4 rating in the demo and 3.13 million viewers.
The TV show was pulled from the schedule and the network touted it as merely a hiatus and not a cancellation. However, with ratings like these, you could tell that the show’s chances for a second season were in serious doubt.
FOX has now officially cancelled Sons of Tucson but new episodes are still scheduled to start airing on June 6th. The remaining nine installments will air over the summer and the series finale is expected to air on August 1st.
What do you think? Are you sorry to hear that Sons of Tucson won’t be back for season two? Have any ideas on why the show wasn’t a success?

FOX needs to keep this show on the air, at least for a second season. It’s great! It’s the first comedy with an original premise that I’ve liked in a really long time!

SCREW FOX!!! COMING FROM AUSTRALIA!!!
I REALLY hate FOX for this- This show is so hilarious and all the networks care about are the dumbass reality shows. Maybe if they gave this show a chance I would like FOX more but for now FOX SUCKS!!
I am sad that they are taking it off! My family loves this show! They need to keep it on!
Maybe FOX should just cancel it’s self and do the TV world a hugh favour, these ” JACK-ASSES wouldn’t know a good thing if it had given them a good swift kick in the ass. It’s a great show, good story line, the actors where just getting into there grove, give it a chance, sad to see it go.
OMG! Really? We are canceling this show?
If you wonder why it is struggling, it is because Fox did not promote it, with the same amount of effort they promote the crappy shows. Congratulations, your promotions work, you have all the crappy shows being talked about.
Don’t cancel Sons of Tucson! It is the best show on TV now.
funny ass show
Can’t believe they cancelled that show!!! Fox sucks!!!!!!!
Best new family show of the season and Fox is going to cancel it???
I Just don’t get it, I know what’s good TV and this show was great!
The show is funny, the kids are very talented and the idea for the idea is original. Why fox pulled the plug on something with that succesful formula is beyond me.
I think this guy, Peter Rice, is a bone-head and should be fired.
This was a really fun show. Fox blew it AGAIN. What a dreadful network — do they have anyone with even a drop of sense working there??
I just found this show and I love it! Tyler Labine is hysterical and the youngest kid is awesome!
You never gave it a chance.
