The Pitts

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...

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.

It's nice to see humour that isn't just off the wall...it is all over the place. I just love this show, and it's sad peple don't apreciate it. The concept is funny...where a family with luck worse then the unluckiest person. Is it far-fetched? dang skippy it is...that's the point. where normal things never happen, and the outlandish do...a show where something remote is also very likely. I also like the obvious gags and spoofs...like being possessed, terrorized by a obsessed girfriend/date. This is a gem, and despite the obvious cornyness, it's very clever and layed out. It will probily get canceled, cause people just don't get it...that's why we loose great shows like Family Guy....and keep bore fests like King of the Hill. The Pitts show...if something is to happen...no matter how remote...it will happen. I give this a 8.5 outta 10.

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...

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
