    Somewhat funny, but it's just not funny enough hide show

    I will admit on severeal occasions that I enjoyed this show. This show was sadly doomed from the beginning. Really, the only episode that delivered at all was the episode where Faith got a pipe stuck in her head. Sadly, that was the final episode that aired then FOX pulled it from the air. The show just made me felt clusterphobic...it makes it extremely obvious that this was filmed on a set, and really it's not supposed to bleed through the fourth wall, but it screams it. The direction of photography was god-awful. The series did provide a few laughs, but not something really worth watching again.

    Almost Worked As A Series hide show

    I liked this show. The humor was irreverant and funny, both the mom and the daughter are babes and script obviously has some good lines. The bad news was that the show quickly wore thin on the cartoon antics and the far-fetched situations. If the show was supposed to be a live-action cartoon, it really hit the mark, but to survive on Fox, the show needed to turn straight and maybe go into another direction. The son on the show is a funny holy terror, but the dad was 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 Pitts might have been a lot better as a prime-time cartoon.

    The least funny "comedy" in many a year. hide show

    When "The Pitts" first came on, I watched about fifteen minutes of the first episode waiting for one funny part. Not only did that moment no come, the laugh track that the show had was one of the worst I've seen. Every time anyone said anything, there would be an uproar of laughter, and, because the show wasn't funny, it got really annoying.

    If I recall correctly, the show was supposed to be like a live action cartoon, which is a good premise in theory (the only reason I didn't give this a zero), but the show failed miserably. To put it bluntly, it was just silly, and not Monty Python silly, stupid silly.

    It sucked! hide show

    That was by far, the dumbest show EVER! I gave it my standard 3 episode test; I watch the first 3 episodes and don\\\'t make a decision whether I like it or not until after I watch the three episodes. An hour and a half I will sadly never get back. It was funny-ish for the first two episodes, but then it just went downhill. The world is a better place because this big steaming pile of crap is off the air.

    Unique and classic. This show had me laughing out loud with its wild and wacky humour. Very much an underappreciated show; It has the ‘perfect’ family in the most eccentric situations. hide show

    Unique and classic. This show had me laughing out loud with its wild and wacky humour. Very much an underappreciated show; It has the ‘perfect’ family in the most eccentric situations. Psychopaths, living dolls, Werewolves and talking cars are just the beginning for this family. It’s never a dull day for the Pitts.

    The key to this show if to let yourself go, watch it like you watched TV as a kid. Without all the cynical thoughts, the ‘That could never happen’ thoughts, let them go and just enjoy the wacky ride the Pitts will take you on.

    Truly Out of this World.
