‘The Grinder’

Following the success of “Parks and Recreation”, Rob Lowe was looking for another comedy hit. In “The Grinder”, Lowe played an actor who had played a lawyer on a long-running television series. When the show was canceled and he moved to his hometown, he’s convinced that the show provided adequate training for him to be a real lawyer. He joins his brother, played by Fred Savage, in the family law firm. Despite the hilarious premise and critical acclaim, the show didn’t find a big enough audience, and was canceled.
