Cubussoli Very very predictable, including the post credit scene !!!

Nonureva Really Surprised!

Orla Zuniga It is interesting even when nothing much happens, which is for most of its 3-hour running time. Read full review

Walter Sloane Mostly, the movie is committed to the value of a good time.

Christopher Cook I don't find it just that this show didn't last very long. It was only on for a few weeks, and this was a great show. Dylan Baker as the father of the family was an excellent choice of casting and so was David Henrie as Petey, who was hilariously mischievous. The Pitts is about a dysfunctional family who can't be like other families. This isn't because they choose not to, but because of their outrageously bad luck. Everything they attempt to do normally ends in disaster and grave misfortune. This isn't like other shows on Fox that portray an unfortunate family in a realistic and usual way. This family's bad luck is unnatural and non-realistic. As an example, in one episode, the parents turn into werewolves. Man, this show was a classic!My favorite episode aired was the one where Faith got a new car which could think for itself and even talk. The end of the episode was a smile evoking conclusion where the family went to Vegas, along with the strange car, of course.Whatever happened to this show? Why does Fox have to be so ridiculously unreasonable and keep dumb shows of bore fest such as King of the Hill and The Simpsons for years but immediately take good shows such as this off the air? It's unjust, and I wish so badly that they would bring this back. A classic! 5/5!

liquidcelluloid-1 Network: FOX; Genre: Sitcom; Content Rating: TV-PG (for cartoonish violence and cartoonish gruesome imagery); Classification: Contemporary (Star range: 1 - 4);Season Reviewed: Complete Series (1 season)Like all entertainment, television is such a revolving door medium in which we take for granted just how much bad product flows in and out of its gates each year because it is accepted as the system that must exist to find the good shows. Even with all this, every once in a while a show will come along that begs extra attention because it is awful in a way that is leaps and bounds worse than anything else out there. "The Pitts", is a spectacular failure earning a rock-solid place in the Hall of Television Shame - a hall that is quickly being filled up by Fox under Gail Berman's tenure as programming president. The Pitts is the pet project of Mike Scully and Julie Thacker, two show-runners largely blamed for rolling forward the snowball that ultimately led to the destruction of a 7 year former masterpiece that was "The Simpsons". In exchange for sucking the identity and vision out of that show and turning it into an assembly line series that the network can replicate for seasons to come, Fox granted them the opportunity to turn loose with their own show. Maybe that's not how it happened, but some level of clout at the network is the only way to explain how this thing got past the pilot stage. Much less on the air. Much less to replace something truly, brilliantly, irreverent like "Andy Richter Controls the Universe". If this got on the air, what pilots failed that year? It follows the Pitts family, headed by dad (Dylan Baker, who always looks creepy to me after Todd Solondz's "Happiness") and mom (the late Kellie Waymire) and two children (Lizzie Caplan & David Henrie), whose face daily trials and adventures as, as the show explains it, the unluckiest family in the world. At any moment any over-the-top, completely fanciful catastrophe could befall them. This is similar to the concept that was pitched for NBC's Steven Weber vehicle "Cursed", 3 years prior, before network execs decided that it was impossible to turn into a series - revamping it before it hit the air. Pitts takes the concept head-down, full-bore all the way into live action cartoon territory with nobody at the Fox network able to say no to Scully. I can't believe I'm saying this but, compared to Fox, NBC was right. The show best speaks for itself. Stories involve the family fighting off a psychotic nanny, a fanatical haunted Volkswagen and dummy, becoming werewolves, spreading a virus around, being taken hostage, their living room caving in and a teenage girl getting a pipe blown through her head. Let's not forget some out-of-place scatological humor. Teenage Faith's (Caplan) unlucky family is constantly a source of embarrassment at school. In stitches yet? It's not that it is impossible for this material to be funny, but Scully and Thacker don't have a shred of the comic skills to even bring that into consideration. They make a comedy 101 mistake thinking that because you can get away with something in animation, you can do the same with live action. But there is a world of difference between seeing Fry getting his arm ripped out of its socket or a pipe through the chest on "Futurama" and seeing a real person befalling a similar fate. This is shockingly a fundamental misunderstanding of what is so unique about animation. The show crosses the line from being not funny to being painfully unfunny. It isn't just stupid, it is a grossly unpleasant experience. You don't watch it, you subject yourself to it. Scully and Thacker's only moments that rise to possible boasting status are when they reference "The Simpsons". The way they glob onto the success of someone else's show (Matt Groening's) has a dumbfounding what-gives-you-the-right quality to it. The human critical mind wants to find doesn't want to believe that something someone actually worked on, actually put some effort into, can be this bad, this simple and this overtly stupid without any redeeming quality at all. Subjecting yourself to it the mind might wander off and start wondering if this is all there is, if there isn't something more subversive going on here. Maybe "The Pitts" is a post-modern masterpiece commenting on what people will put up with in their TV? Maybe it is a parody of itself or a parody of a parody? Of course, there is no evidence of this anywhere in the show, but that's what we'd like to think. I can only hope that that this show is released on DVD so that one of Fox's grandest little disasters can be cemented on store shelves for all too see. You have to wonder what on Earth is going on in the programming department over there. Do they really have this much contempt for their audience? Look this far down on us? If they are this out of touch it is frightening. "The Pitts" deserves to rank with "My Mother the Car", "Full House" and "Cop Rock" on a list of the worst shows of all time. The difference is that in time shows like "Cop Rock" have gained a high camp cult status. They are so serious and so full of themselves that they are now laugh riots. "The Pitts", with it's screeching laugh track and overbearing self-effacing stupidity will never reach that kind of cult status. 0 stars

toxic_banana I have seen some very stupid sitcoms in my lifetime, but this is the worst. It's somewhat like Unhappily Ever After meets The Simpsons, without any of the true humor or charm that both possessed. I hope to see this series trashed as soon as possible because I'm sure I lost an I.Q. point or two just from watching it once.

Squatchnutz I agree with everyone that the laugh track here is completely ridiculous. And the premise of the show is SOOO unoriginal, that it hasn't worked before! Does anyone remember the show "Cursed" starring Steve Weber? It was about a guy who was cursed by a gypsy and it lasted ONE episode before being changed to "The Steve Weber Show" because the creators or whoever realized that a premise of someone with consistently bad luck gets real old real fast (by the way, the Steven Weber Show was really funny) But this show is just terrible.Youd think people would get the hint after making virtual crapfests like "Aliens in the Family' Thank the sweet Sassy Malassy that the daughter is hot, it makes the show almost bearable.
