Waste of time

Terrible acting, screenplay and direction.

Bad Acting and worse Bad Screenplay

Although I seem to have had higher expectations than I thought, the movie is super entertaining.

Yet again Fox fails to deliver. This time it was "The Pitts", Fox's attempt at a satire. The show follows the story of a modern American family as they have terrible luck in everyday life. I guess the premise is alright, a family with bad luck struggling through life. The main problem with the show is that it tries way to hard. None of it is believable no matter how hard it tries to make it believable. Yes it was suppose to be a comedy series but still none of it made any sense.The cast isn't that bad when you look at it. Dylan Baker is a very good actor and I've liked him in a lot of stuff but in The Pitts he is terrible. Kellie Waymire (bless her soul) is equally as bad with their children not doing much better. The supporting cast around the family made me think that the producers possibly just pulled random people off the street and tried to make them do comedy. It has some of the worst acting in a cumulative way that I have ever seen for a show.Fox made a series mistake ever deciding to green light this project. Each episode was terrificly bad in its own way. The episode with the VW bus wanting to literally marry Lizzy Caplan's character stands out to me as one of the worst experiences of watching TV I have ever had. I seriously sat stunned that I had just watched the whole thing afterwards and didn't move for at least 20 minutes after. It was probably the biggest waste of time of my entire life. Trust me, if a re-run ever comes on TV run. Don't think about it, just run from your living room and don't come back for about an hour. Trust me you'll save an hour of your life..5/5 Stars

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*

This is so stupid. I mean, it is one of the dumbest shows ever. I shouldn't have to try this hard to laugh. Why make a show that is purposely trying to not be funny. Did the FOX executives think that people would lower their IQs for this crap. Even worse, it replaced Andy Richter Controls the Universe, which was actually a funny show. What were they thinking?The writing is sooooo bad. I just saw an episode where a beaver killed a doll that had stolen The Pitts' home. What's sad is that some of these plots could be funny, but they then turn into complete crapola. To conclude, this show should be on UPN.

Okay, maybe I'm just not smart enough or maybe nobody has let me in on the joke yet. I understand that they are purposefully making a bad t.v. show; it's that stupid on purpose. I get that. But why?Remember Yes, Dear? Did you love that one? Did you love Small Wonder? The Pitts is much similar to both in the fact that they all three are incredibly, mind-boggingly stupid. What a great premise that doesn't need the gimmick of being purposefully stupid. But it just doesn't work. The shame of it is, they could be reaching a far greater demographic by keeping the quirkiness and doing away with the moronic, vaudvillesque humor.With such a talented cast and crew it's obvious that this has the potential for being a hilarious, groundbreaking comedy show. Instead I believe some poor decisions were made in the writing department. Also, it maintains that it was filmed with a live studio audience; that leads me to wonder whether or not the audience is in the studio but watching something funny like Andy Richter Rules the Universe(which The Pitts replaced). It seems the only thing The Pitts has achieved in doing is dared some poor reviewer out there to look like an idiot by saying, "The Pitts is The Pitts." Then again, maybe somebody at Fox lost a bet. Either way, The Pitts is............................crap.
