Sons of Tucson on Fox

Fox’s Sons of Tucson (Sundays, 7:00 p.m. ET) wants to have its cake and eat it too. On the one hand it tries to be edgy and irreverent, and on the other it clearly targets tween boys as its core audience. Unfortunately, the July 18^th episode proved that it is hard to do both without veering into objectionable territory. In this particular case, the frank discussion of pornography was completely irresponsible; parents watching the episode with their children were blindsided by adult content you’d normally find on Howard Stern, not the lead spot of Family Hour on a Sunday night. For sexual content, Sons of Tucson has rightfully been named Worst TV Show of the Week.

Fake father Ron presents his best-friend, Glen, with his birthday present: “I hope you got your party pants on, my man, because tonight is going to be one for the record books. You and I are going to the Tucson Triple-X-po to meet with … wait for it … adult film legend Misty Rose and others.” Gary (the responsible middle child), however, informs Ron that he can’t attend the adult film convention because Ron is supposed to watch seven-year-old Robby today while Gary and eldest brother, Brandon, attend band practice.

Ron decides to shirk his responsibility. On the way to the convention, he affirms to a reluctant Glen, “C’mon, we deserve some X-rated fun.” Suddenly, Robby pops up from the backseat and says, “So I guess we're gonna have some X-rated fun. What does that mean anyway?”

Ron tries to pass Robby off to his friends, but without any options for babysitters, Ron and Glen decide to leave Robby in the car while they attend the convention. When Robby complains that he has to go the bathroom, Ron decides to take him inside. He asks the bouncer, “My kid has to go to the bathroom. Do you sell like children's tickets?”

The bouncer responds, “Yeah, of course. They're half-price. And each kid gets a complimentary booster seat so they don't miss any of the nudity or sex.”

“A simple no would have been fine,” Ron says.

By now, Glen has reached the end of his rope. He decides to go back home in order to attend the birthday party his wife had planned for him. So instead of bringing Glen to the porn convention, Ron manages to bring the porn convention to Glen thanks to Robby, who charmed Misty outside of a gasoline station. Ron crashes Glen’s party with none other than Misty Rose as his guest. As they enter, Ron announces, “Who brought the prosciutto? Because Misty brought the melons!” Misty saunters over to Glen and plants a big wet kiss on his lips.

Kids are inundated with sexual messages far too frequently, from advertisements about erectile dysfunction shown during sporting events, to links for adult websites embedded in the most innocent YouTube searches. Television shows geared toward them shouldn’t pique their interest about what “Triple X” means. In its blatant ploy to be “edgy,” Sons of Tucson puts parents in a difficult position by packaging content better suited for adult men toward young boys.

For age-inappropriate sexual content, Sons of Tucson has been given the title of Worst TV Show of the Week.
