The Pitts

Ok, so the pilot may be a little weird, but come on what did you expect from the writers of the Simpsons? But it is an okay show with stupid slapstick comedy and dumb characters. I doubt this show is gonna last a long time.

I am a fan of the utterly bizzare in the entertainment industry , and yes The Pitts is one bizzare show...just like FOX's past sitcoms Get A Life with Chris Elliot and Family Guy..only difference THEY WERE FUNNY

The Pitts is a sitcom with one joke..and it's not even that funny...we've had the family with bad luck done so much better in Married With Children, Malcome In The Middle , The Simpsons , Family Guy , wait a minute isn't this a coicidence..these are all FOX sitcoms?

And the humor is over the top and weird..but it's more stupid than funny..like the mentioned sitcoms above..it requires at least a tv episode plot structure , not just rapid fire sequences of bad luck...so far it's only been 2 episodes..and i've kinda just sat looking embarrassed more than I laughed..actually this series reminds me of a 30 minute Saturday Night Live skit...thats all it is..a skit..stretched to 30 minutes..not a tv show

On the other hand...hey it's different..and we all know it will build somewhat of a cult status in the future..so I guess it's interesting..in that degree...but I doubt it will last long at all It probably would belong better on Comedy Central...they're more experienced in this type of ironic twisted humor

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 so weird, yet I had to laugh out loud at times. Yes, some parts of the show were VERY dumb, but I'll watch it again. It's almost funny because it's so dumb. Unfortunately, the shows I like never stay on the air (Family Guy, That '80's Show, etc), so expect to see this puppy cancelled in a few weeks...

If your ever having a sleepless night, watch out for this very strange little sitcom on ITV. I'm not saying it's any good, just watch out for it. I was half asleep the first time I saw The Pitts and I genuinely thought I'd dreamt it. If David Lynch ever goes on to make a sitcom, it'll probably look like this. The Pitts are an impossibly bland family with impossibly bad luck, mostly in situations revolving around demonic possession, serial killers, werewolves and a mildly horrific episode where the eldest daughter has a pipe driven through her skull. It features lame sign-posted jokes, some of which are so unfunny they defy comprehension, and are accompanied by gales of canned laughter. Bob and Liz, the parents, make mailboxes for a living. She is a skeletal, perma-grinning Stepford Wife (who is apparently now dead) and he is the paedophile from Happiness. It looks like it cost about a tenner to make and is so bland and generic yet creepy and disturbing that it could not more closely resemble a nightmare. Even the sheer cheapness of the thing defies description; the acting, writing and direction are absolutely awful! You can see why I thought I'd dreamt it. How could a show as bad as this possibly get made?! The Pitts is quite simply this generation's Plan 9 From Outer Space. Cultdom must surely beckon...
