Yall…I’m gonna be honest. “The Grinder” is good stuff.

Self aware. Snappy. Straight-forward. Man…2015 was so sick.

You guys remember 2015…

Damn.

If you need a friendly reminder on 2015, “The Grinder” is great place to start.

In the future, it may be referenced as a moment in time. Color TV, The Internet, The Grinder.

We live in a post-Grinder society.

I’m already furious with a lack of Season 2.

Here’s the run-down…
20min eps. Full sitcom style dialog.

Rob Lowe plays an actor (love it) who just wrapped the Series Finale on his 8-season, prime-time legal drama, “Grinder,” where he plays a quick-witted lawyer who “doesn’t take no for an answer.”

Fred Savage plays his real-life brother who is a real-life lawyer in real-life. He’s married to The Waitress from Always Sunny in Philadelphia (Mary Elizabeth Ellis) and works with his dad (William Devane from Knots Landing) at the family law firm.

Rob Lowe returns home after wrapping up the show and decides that he wants to work at the family law firm because he played a lawyer on TV.

Ya love to see it!

Nice quick row if you don’t have time to settle into one of Rob Lowe’s longer escapades.

Nostalgia points for plaid wallpaper, plaid couches, great casting, as well as Rob Lowe and Fred Savage playing exactly how you’d expect them to.

SPOILER…Stevie from Eastbound and Down works at the law firm as well. If that doesn’t up your pace, nothing in this world will.

Happy rowing.
