| Sullivan & Son | comment |
Steve Sullivan (Steve Byrne) has everything together. He's a successful lawyer living in New York and has a beautiful fiance. However, on a trip back home to Pittsburgh, he gets some bad news. His parents, Irish-American father Jack and Korean mother Ok Cha, have decided to sell the family bar and retire. Steve, in an act that surprises everybody, decides not to let the bar go and (against his now-ex-fiance's wishes) quits his job in New York, buys the bar from his parents and runs it himself. He now has to learn to deal with the cast of crazies that make up the bar's regulars.Aired on TBS for three seasons from June 2012 to July 2014. | |

Asian Rudeness | |
| Sullivan & Son / int_54d5ad9a | comment |
Asian Rudeness: Ok Cha is one part Asian Store-Owner, one part Tiger Mother. When her daughter gives her a fake ID to age her up so she can take advantage of senior-citizen discounts, she jokingly gives her the name "Kim Jong Il." Ok Cha is flattered. Susan’s husband is every bit as condescending as Ok-Cha, which is probably why Ok-Cha adores him. | |

It's a Wonderful Plot: In "Sullivan's Travels", when Steve decides to "check out" from all the pressures of running the bar, he has a "teaching dream" where his father shows him what would happen if he wasn't around. | |

Gilligan Cut | |
| Sullivan & Son / int_680f950 | comment |
Gilligan Cut: Often done without a cut. When Ok-Cha wants to set Steve up with a Korean girl, the guys look up her online dating profile and comment on her beauty. Steve insists that she can't be as hot as her pictures. Cue gorgeous Korean chick behind him asking for Steve. After punching her Covert Pervert neighbor, Melanie smugly declares that she doesn't need a lawyer. The cops walk in. | |

The Alcoholic: Pretty much the whole cast, but especially Hank, who apparently is always the first one in the bar when it opens, and at one point sets off a breathalyzer just by having it pointed at him. | |
