The Pitts

I was a bit bemused by this show at first, but after a couple of episodes it's grown on me and I look forward to seeing more of it. Yes, it's a DUMB show, that's the whole point. If you watch this show and think "wow the writers/network must really not know how stupid this show is, i must inform them", then you are completely missing the point. Obviously no one who creates a show this weird is trying to be conventionally clever or taken seriously. The basis for most of the humour is the ridiculousness of the idea that any of it ever could be taken seriously, and if you can't grasp that then the joke is on you and this show is just plain over your head. I think Andy Richter Controls The Universe is a better written show, but The Pitts makes me laugh more, and it's more intelligent humour than the constant random sex and drug references that pass for jokes on Family Guy.

Not a bad show, but not a good one either. The Pitts lacks depth. When bad stuff happens to Al Bundy, we care. There are unique interesting characters on Married with Children, and almost believable plots. The Pitts goes too far. They need to take some devlopment time, and not focus on every line as being a joke. The Characters need some character. Pitt is a loser all round, and needs a redeemable quality, his wife is sexy but sexless. Shes also kind of dumb (she'd have to be she married him) Faith, takes her situation al too well, her character needs more focus. How would being a born loser really affect an attractive , would be popular high school girl. And the Pitt boy needs more development, does he manipulate his family all the time or just in certain episodes? Also he seems old enough to want tomove on you know, friends, girls etc. when does he start acting like a 13 year old???

Again Potential, but without new direction this one wont see lucky episode #13

In the distant future, when all remnants of the sitcom laugh track have been eradicated from human memory, then, perhaps, this show will seem quite amusing. As is, it came across about as funny as a mosquito bite. The `campy' jokes which saturated the show seemed, at times, quite good. Otherwise, they were either tedious, embarrassing or in poor taste.

Bottom line: whether you like the show or not, the laugh track must go.

I like this show. The humor is funny, both the mom and the daughter are babes and script obviously has some good lines. The bad news is that the show is quickly wearing thin on the cartoon antics and the far-fetched situations. If the show is supposed to be a live-action cartoon, it really hit the mark, but to survive on Fox, the show needs to turn straight and maybe go into another direction. The son on the show is a funny holy terror, but the dad is just played way too dumb. Let's face it, at it's core, "The Pitts" may actually just be time filler may be cancelled with just one season under its belt. I mean, anyone remember an obscure FOX series called "Whoops!" which also was based on a one joke device. The series might have been a lot better as a cartoon, but I'm still catching every episode while I can and maybe taping a few before it's gone.

This show is funny. It's a "ok I'm going to sit down and be a dumbass for 30 minutes. I'm going to laugh at silly jokes" I think the jokes are funny, and the actors are good. If you thought this was going to be "The simpsons: real life!" You were sadly mistaken.

This is what people do stupidly. They watch spin-offs and tv shows made by producers and directors of popular tv shows expecting a double of the original. Anything remotely new or original is "unclean,unclean!" and must be taken off the air immediatly.
