Get Up, Tune Out

1.0

By JaneKnight, Feb 01, 2013

After The Simpsons had delightfully poked fun of the education system for many years, I was expecting more of the same type of humor from "Sit Down, Shut Up". Boy, was I ever wrong. The characters are not even as remotely entertaining as Principal Skinner, Groundskeeper Willie, Mrs. Krabapple, Miss Hoover, or even . Pommelhorst; nor the stories memorable. How this piece of sh*t lasted for a whole season is beyond my comprehension. One of the ten worst animated sitcoms ever.moreless

A decent show

8.0

By ThaPesky, Jan 18, 2011

I was looking forward to watch this show after I saw some promos and read what it was going to be about. I really liked the unique animation style.

This show has some awesome cast, and often breaks the fourth wall, which is sometimes funny, sometimes not. The humor in the show is not the best. But, well, the show itself is very enjoyable, in my opinion.

I think it is a bit unfair that this show only got like 13 episodes. It just didn't get a chance. I really liked the pilot. It had some humorous jokes. Renew this show!moreless

Just doesnt seem that well thought out.

2.0

By syrusfan, Dec 31, 2010

A bunch of teachers working at a school and how much their lives suck. That's all it is. If ever there was a weaker attempt at a plot, this is defintely it. The animation is eh....okay, but Simpsons owns in now that it's in HD. THe characters just seem a little boring with no real personality, the comdey seems to be droll and unfunny, the sterotypes are unbeileiveable. Honestly, this show is even worse then American Dad, and believ me, that's gone done the crapper. Overall, this show just seems to be a poor attempt by Fox to get ratings. Stick to Simpsons, Family Guy, even American Dad if you really like it, but stay away from this show with a 10 foot pole.moreless

I don't want to be rude knowing that this show was a rookie but let's be honest...Sit Down, Shut Up plain out sucked. I mean I said in the Cupid review, remakes don't work out and this is just another example of that like Cupid and Life on Mars.moreless

2.0

By neslic, Sep 11, 2010

I started watching this show because it seemed to me that animated series on FOX really succeeded but this one didn't. I mean I like the fact that it was part real and the other was animation but this series was not interesting at all. It wasn't funny and the characters were mostly boring. The pilot was the only thing that I liked about this series but maybe that was because I expected this show to succeed like The Simpsons, Family Guy, and American Dad...but I was dead wrong. I shouldn't have thought that. The little time it lasted it didn't make me laugh but I knew that the producers had a smart idea for this series, it just didn't work out.moreless
