The Grinder is an American legal television sitcom created by Jarrad Paul and Andrew Mogel. The show was picked up to series by Fox on May 8, 2015,[2][3] and premiered on September 29, 2015.[4] On October 15, 2015, Fox ordered six additional scripts for the first season, potentially increasing the season order to 19 episodes.[5] On October 27, 2015, Fox ordered a full season of 22 episodes for the first season.[6]

Despite being acclaimed by critics and viewers, the show never achieved high ratings. On May 16, 2016, Fox canceled the series after one season.[7]

Plot

The series follows television actor Dean Sanderson Jr., who returns to his hometown of Boise, Idaho, after his long-running television series, The Grinder, ends. Though Dean is not a lawyer, he believes that his experience playing one on television makes him qualified to practice law. He decides to join his family's law firm, Jefferson, Sanderson, & Holt, much to the chagrin of his younger brother Stewart, who is an actual lawyer. Stewart and a new hire named Claire are the only people who seem to comprehend that Dean's television experience does not qualify him for a job at a real law firm.

Dean remembers the focus groups that were used for screenings of The Grinder, and decides to bring one into the firm.

Knowing that Lenore favors Stewart for settling down and having a family, Dean pretends he's engaged to Claire. Lenore later reveals the real reason she came to town: her 45-year old second husband has left her and she wants to rekindle her relationship with Dean Sr. Meanwhile, Stewart and Debbie both scramble to cover up the fact that each forgot their anniversary.
21"Divergence"Andy AckermanSally Bradford McKennaMay 3, 2016 (2016-05-03)1AYV201.51[31]
After watching a Grinder episode where a side story helps Mitch solve the episode's main case, Dean becomes convinced that he needs a real-life side story to solve the mystery that still surrounds Cory Manler's malpractice suit. Thus, he agrees to help Joel, Lizzie's ex-boyfriend, whom she says was wrongly accused of trashing the principal's office. Meanwhile, a number of strange occurrences cause Stewart to keep delaying a meeting with Manler to sign the settlement papers, which Dean and the family see as a sign that Stewart subconsciously wants to take Manler to court rather than settle.
22"Full Circle"Jay ChandrasekharDominic DierkesMay 10, 2016 (2016-05-10)1AYV221.59[32]
Dean figures out that Leonard (Kumail Nanjiani), the prosecutor he humiliated by defeating him in the Pilot episode, is the counsel behind Cory Manler's lawsuit, and that the lawsuit is primarily an act of revenge for Leonard. Just as the case goes to trial, Stewart is suspended by the judge when video surfaces of him breaking into Manler's apartment. Stewart selects Claire to take over first chair, but Dean Sr. overrules him and puts Dean in charge. It appears Leonard is about to win the case when, from the sidelines, Stewart discovers that the plaintiff Cory Manler is in fact his twin brother Rory Manler (Keith Lucas) and Sanderson Sr. is exonerated.
