The Grinder	comment	The Grinder is a series starring Rob Lowe and Fred Savage on Fox. Savage is Stewart Sanderson, a lawyer in Boise, Idaho. Lowe is Dean Sanderson, a former actor whose television series (called The Grinder) about lawyers has just been cancelled. Dean returns home to live with his brother, and 'helps' his brother practice law, thinking that if he played one on TV, he could do it in real life too.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })Stewart is supported by his loving wife, Debbie (Mary Elizabeth Ellis), and alternately helped and hindered by his father, Dean Sr. (William Devane), his daughter Lizzie (Hana Hayes) and his son Ethan (Connor Kalopsis). His coworkers include Todd (Steve Little) an incompetent yesman who's more interested in Dean than practicing law, and Claire (Natalie Morales) a remarkably good lawyer who's the only woman impervious to Dean's charms.

The Grinder / int_1d2605eb	comment	Adorably Precocious Child: Ethan and Lizzie often talk like adults, particularly when helping the rest of the family dissect the particulars of a case. They're too old for this trope to be adorable most of the time, but just young enough for it to seem oddly precocious.

The Grinder / int_44606d14	comment	Becoming the Mask: Dean's played The Grinder for so long that the character pretty much defines his real-life personality, despite his attempts to shed it midway through Season 1.

The Grinder / int_c10d1dcb	comment	California Doubling: The show is ostensibly set in Boise, but you never see snow. Characters from Dean's previous life in L.A. seem to just be in the neighborhood with alarming frequency, which begs the question of why they didn't just set the show in the Los Angeles area somewhere.
