Sitcoms Online Photo Galleries - Chicago Sons

Chicago Sons aired from January until July 1997 on CBS.

The testosterone flowed freely in this lightweight sitcom about 3 skirt-chasing brothers living in a bachelor dream pad overlooking Chicago's Wrigley Field. Harry ( Jason Bateman), the most responsible ( relatively speaking), worked as a junior architect and had the hots for co-worker Lindsay ( Paula Marshall). She,unfortunately, already had a boyfriend of 5 years. In the spare bedroom was Harry's dumb, insensitive older brother Mike( D.W. Moffett), who had been kicked out of his house by his fed-up wife, but nevertheless had babes hanging on him. On the couch was dropout Billy ( David Krumholtz), the wise-cracking, boyish looking youngest of the clan. They all hung out at Murphy's bar, when not drinking milk right out of the carton or watching a Cubs game from the roof.

Here's a brief mention of Chicago Sons from Entertainment Weekly-Published on February 7, 1997.

The Batemans are back, and NBC's got 'em! But when did Jason become the more interesting sibling? As the middle brother on CHICAGO SONS (NBC, Wednesdays, 8:30-9 p.m.), the former Hogan Family stud-puppy displays an engaging comic presence. In earlier incarnations, Jason always seemed like a Michael J. Fox lite (not for nothing did he replace Fox in Teen Wolf Too). Now his pinpoint timing rivals Fox's; he's able to wring laughs out of even the most generic material (and Chicago Sons is about as generic as you can get). But as Ron Eldard's nurse girlfriend on MEN BEHAVING BADLY (NBC, Wednesdays, 9:30-10 p.m.), sister Justine seems to have lost the spirit that made her such an endearing foil for Fox on Family Ties. She saps the life out of every scene she's in. Maybe Jason can give his sis some tips in a Chicago Sons/Men Behaving Badly crossover -- it'd be Must See Bateman TV!
