Call Me Fitz

As a Canadian ex-pat I am always sure to check out some of the TV offerings from north of the border and usually I am very disappointed by all the shows I see, both in comedy and in drama. Other than "Orphan Black" there hasn't been too much to rave about from my home country on an ongoing basis since the days of Kids in the Hall, etc. Even "Hockey Night in Canada" is not very reliable any more since it moved to the new network with new personnel (seriously, I like George Strombo but as a hockey host he is terrible, terrible, terrible!)

So I was very pleasantly surprised by this show, "Call Me Fitz." I hadn't even heard of it and a friend from Toronto turned me onto it, so I figured why not try it out, and it's great! Very funny and Jason Priestly (a Canuck don't-ya-know) is great as a morally bankrupt car salesman with mental problems/visions.

It really flew under the radar but lasted a few seasons and is well worth checking out!

Probably the last of the great adult comedy to not pull any punches. I was never a fan of Jason Priestly, I didn't dislike, if there was a Jason Priestly movie or series, I would past until Call Me Fritz. This show caused me to appreciate Jason Priestly acting talents. I will never binge watch 90210. I have a great appreciation for his work in the movie Tombstone and his other projects. This new found appreciation started with this show.

This has to be one of the best written,best acted,best produced and best directed shows on TV today!Chock full of raunchy adult humor,over-the-top,and offbeat characters.A totally unique show concept!I can't get enough of the handsome,ultra-talented Jason Priestley as the morally-challenged Fitz,played against the amazing Ernie Grunwald his "do right", out-of-body-conscience,Larry.The whole show is smartly written,brilliantly acted and a joy to watch! I am also proud to say that the Fitzgerald Car Sales Lot is located near my home and my brother-in-law,Geof,had the awesome opportunity to "strut his stuff" on the dance floor as an extra in Episode 6. I met Jason a few years back while he was in Chester filming a movie.He came to Lunenburg to do an interview on Good Morning America,which was doing a live show there,and I was privileged to be his umbrella holder during his interview with,then host,Joan Lunden,as it was pouring rain LOL "Call Me Fitz"is the cats' ass! Can't wait for the next episode!

Watched the first four episodes one after the other and thoroughly enjoyed this rather adult, quirky, dark comedy. Jason Priestly is in fine form as the lead and great to see him really acting again. The other characters, all weird in their own little ways, blend together nicely with him into a working but dysfunctional family of colleagues in a car sales lot. The reason Fitz is the way he is becomes apparent the more you watch this and you realize there are some serious issues beneath the surface. If you liked 'John from Cincinnati' you will love this as they are very similar.

Highly recommend.

Wonderful show! Great writing and love it!!! Larry is a bit annoying yet hopefully he dies soon. Jason plays a great role and the profanity is perfect. Nothing less than masterpiece in my mind. I hope it runs for a while as I hope it works out for everyone. Not enough skin in the show if any yet what do you expect. keep up the great work Jason. What more can I say I love the receptionist and Fitz ring a ding ding is great. Love the old school lines and all the other one liners. Larry's names by Fitz are classic and he deserves everything he gets from Fitz. The other guys across the street are hilarious. How much tail can Fitz get who knows yet I wish I could get a fraction of it ha ha ha ha...
