The show was definitely not 10 star material, but it helped me get to sleep. I have to admit I had high hopes for the show, and when it finally aired I was like "they are trying too hard to get a laugh." Speaking of which, that laugh box they used for the show didn't help either. I like the fact that they was trying to go for a live action animated show kind of feel. Most live action shows only get weired when there is a special event such as Halloween or Christmas. The out in left field, kind of plot thats the main reason why I gave the show the time of day. I even have all of what they aired on television, and once in a while I'll pop in the tape and drift off, I do the same for "all" the B-grade movies I have. Over all though its definitely a good show to look back on, in a couple of years.

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...

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.

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!
