Sullivan & Son was a sitcom that aired on TBS from 2012 to 2014. The show was created by Steve Byrne and executive produced by Vince Vaughn. It followed the story of Steve Sullivan (played by Byrne), a corporate lawyer who returns home to Pittsburgh to take over his family's bar, Sullivan & Son.

The show was set in a blue-collar Irish neighborhood and explored the interactions between the bar regulars and the Sullivan family. Steve's parents, Jack (Dan Lauria) and Ok Cha (Jodi Long), were the owners of the bar and their personalities often clashed with Steve's more modern worldview. Meanwhile, Steve's sister Susan (Vivian Bang) was a successful doctor who often brought a different perspective to the family's dynamics.

The cast of regular bar customers included Hank (Brian Doyle-Murray), a grumpy Vietnam War veteran who was always quick with a sarcastic remark; Carol (Christine Ebersole), a wealthy widow who had a sarcastic wit and a sometimes competitive relationship with the other regulars; and Owen (Owen Benjamin), an aspiring musician who often struggled with relationships and finding his place in the world.

The show often explored themes of family and personal identity while also tackling more serious issues like racism, gender roles, and classism. Despite the heavier subject matter, the show was often lighthearted and relied on the witty banter between characters for its humor. The show also explored various romantic relationships between characters, including Steve's on-again, off-again relationship with Melanie (Valerie Azlynn), a childhood friend who was also a successful lawyer.

Overall, Sullivan & Son was an enjoyable sitcom with a diverse group of characters and themes that were relatable to a wide audience. The show had a loyal fan base but struggled in ratings, leading to its cancellation after three seasons. Despite this, the show remains a beloved cult classic for those who appreciated its humor and heart.

Sullivan & Son is a series that is currently running and has 3 seasons (33 episodes). The series first aired on July 19, 2012.
