Rob Lowe and his son joke with each other about Netflix's 'Unstable' | ENTERTAIN THIS!

Rob Lowe and his son, John Owen Lowe, chat with USA TODAY's Marco della Cava about their new Netflix comedy, "Unstable."

The names of comedy duo legends trip off the tongue: Abbott and Costello. Laurel and Hardy. Nichols and May.

How about Lowe and Lowe?

OK, so maybe Rob Lowe, 59, and his son John Owen, 28, aren't quite in that vaunted pantheon. But their funny real-life repartee enlivens "Unstable," an eight-episode Netflix comedy series (streaming Thursday). The duo created and star in the show, about a widowed and wayward tech genius and his ambivalent son.

One example, which boils down to Annoyed Son correcting Serious Dad, Rob Lowe is asked if this series grew out of the popular Instagram ribbing he's taken at the hands of John Owen and his brother, Matthew, 30
