g-bannister1 Yes, this is a show taking the mickey out of sit-coms. The jokes aren't funny, the people are naive, the laugh track is over the top and it's all on purpose.I can't believe that there are people out there that don't get this stuff. I guess people can't really do subtle humour in America because most Americans don't get it.I mean does a sign have to come down at the beginning of every show saying THIS SHOW IS IRONIC I think almost every other country in the world has dry and subtle humour. It's a shame that American producers are too scared that most people will think the show is just bad.It's a times like these that I wonder if there are people that think curb your enthusiasm is a documentary. *sigh*

pancake_repairman 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.

Lando_Hass The Pitts, is literally the worst show to ever grace television. First off, I would like to say this: I will always hate Fox for canceling such great, and extremely funny shows like Family Guy, Titus, Futurama, and Married With Children, and then airing trash like this. I have to be honest, I only watched at the max ten minutes of this vile, that was all my mind could sustain. The acting is lurid, none of the actors give good performances, let alone a funny performance, but maybe the cause of that would be because of the horrible, and wretched script. While I'm on that matter, the script has not one good joke, the writers relied on the shows craziness, and wackiness for laughs, which was a BAD, BAD MISTAKE. None of the jokes told are ever funny, the cinematography is just like that of any other sitcom, the stories are ridiculously clichéd and witless, and worst of all, none of the jokes are funny. This show is just plain awful, it is literally the most insipid, vile piece of steaming smelly donkey crap ever to hit TV! I've never seen a show that was so unfunny! Full House wasn't funny but it had entertainment, The Brady Bunch wasn't funny, but like Full House it was just an entertaining show, and people back then found the jokes funny. The Pitts also suffers the indignities of noticeably using a laugh track over and over, and having people laugh at it, not because of the jokes, but because of how stupid it is. It's no wonder why it got cancelled after a few episodes. Fox cancelled Family Guy, and got this it's a go**amned shame. I hate Fox, and I hate this show with all my heart. It came from hell, but they didn't want it, so they threw it on Earth. The absolute worst show in history. May it burn in hell. Overall Score: A big fat f***ing 0 out of 10!

Thor2000 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.
