His world is rocked when his young son -- now played by Sadowski -- is forced to move back home due to a lack of funds.

Warner Bros. TV is behind the show, which landed the plum Thursday 8:30 p.m. slot behind hit "The Big Bang Theory." David Kohan and Max Mutchnick are the exec producers.

As for Sadowski, the thesp's other credits include TV skeins "American Dreams" and "NCIS," as well as the features "Friday the 13th," "The Goods: Live Hard, Sell Hard" and "Live Free or Die Hard."
