'Sullivan & Son'

Over on TBS there's this new comedy about a New York attorney (Steve Byrne) who returns home to Pittsburgh for his father's (Dan Lauria of "The Wonder Years") birthday, only to discover he's going to sell the family business. The show is executive-produced by Vince Vaughn and Peter Billingsley (yes, Ralphie from "A Christmas Story"), and also features the wonderful Christine Ebersole (Broadway's "Grey Gardens"). 10 p.m. Thursday on TBS (seattletimes.com/tvlistings).
