Complete Savages is an American sitcom that was broadcast on ABC from September 24, 2004, to June 17, 2005. It was part of ABC's first attempt to renew its TGIF block since the original came to an end in 2000. The show was created by Mike Scully and Julie Thacker and executive produced by Mel Gibson. It was cancelled after its first season due to low ratings.

Synopsis

Nick Savage is a single father struggling to raise his five unruly sons (Jack, Chris, Sam, Kyle, and T.J.) alone, following the abandonment of their mother 10 years previously. Nick works on call, day and night, as a firefighter with his brother, Jimmy. Nick's boys constantly stir up trouble and create unpredictable circumstances for the entire family to somehow resolve.

Production

The show's production was announced in a press release on November 5, 2003. The show was inspired by Mel Gibson's experience as a father of six sons. The theme song was composed and performed by Joseph Interlande, and appears at the beginning of each episode as a jam session amongst the whole Savage family.
