The Grinder
Two brothers. One's a lawyer. The other played one on TV.
Created by Jarrad Paul, Andrew Mogel
On FOX
A warm, character-driven network sitcom about family and professional delusion, built on the comedy of a TV actor's misplaced confidence in a real law firm.
Television lawyer Dean Sanderson moves back to his small home town after his hit series, "The Grinder," is canceled thinking his time on TV qualifies him to run his family's law firm.
