The CW has acquired the Canadian comedy Son of a Critch, from comedian Mark Critch, and will air it this summer. Malcolm McDowell is in the cast. There are 13 episodes.
Based on the Critch memoir called This Hour Has 22 Minutes, the show is the story of him coming of age in the 1980s. “The series is a heartfelt window in the life of a child—who is much older inside than his 11 years—using comedy and self-deprecation to win friends and connect with the small collection of people in his limited world,” according to The CW.
