Titus - Seasons 1 & 2 [DVD]

If you watch Titus, you'll get the title! Titus.... man this is one hell of a show! The best dark humor out there! This is tied for my most favorite show because I could not decide between the two, the other being The Simpsons. I grew up with that show and it is STILL going strong! Anyways, went off topic for a moment. Only having 3 seasons, it's a downer knowing there are only 54 episodes, but just like Zack Ward (who does a great job as Dave) said in a interview which is in the extras of the DVD, it was kinda perfect that it only had 54 episodes. That might sound strange to some. I guess you can say Titus is like a shooting star compared to the regular stars in the sky that would represent other shows. Shined twice as bright and stood out, just amazing, but is gone before you know it and most never noticed it at all. I am happy I was able to enjoy Titus while it was on air. Also, most of what happens in the show has actually happened to the comedian Christopher Titus! Probably why it has that strong connection with those that have a twisted sense of humor like myself!Titus is about a guy named Christopher Titus who narrates the show about his life in a room shot in black and white that is called the neutral space. Titus owns and runs a Hot Rod garage shop and works with his flamboyant (yet not gay) best friend Tommy, who can be anal at times, and his adopted brother Dave who can be quite the dimwitted pot head who is hilarious! He lives with his gorgeous girlfriend Erin who tries her best to be normal besides the fact that she grew up in a crazy disfunctional family just like Titus. Probably why she gets him and they do so well together. (Err.... um.... well up to a point. watch the seasons first before you watch Christopher Titus' stand up special Love is Evol) lol. Last, but not least, you have Papa Titus A.K.A Ken Titus who is a alcoholic womanizer that will having you laugh your a** off the most! He is the definition of tough love when we see flashbacks of him raising his sons Chris and Dave. That's also another thing in the show, flashbacks to Titus childhood, high school years, and past stories will come up during the show delivering lots of laughs! One example would be when we see Titus as a kid and he walks up to Papa Titus who is sitting in his chair and is watching tv. "Daddy, my teacher said that we can grow up to be anything we want to be!" and Papa Titus with a beer in hand "He obviously wasn't talking to you son, now go in the back yard and start practicing digging trenches" Just a taste of this great funny dark humored show!Titus Seasons 1 & 2 have some great episodes! (season 2 has most of my favs) well they all are great, some I would say, are the top episodes like Perfect Thanksgiving, The Pit, The Pendulum, The Last Noelle, Dad's Dead, Dave moves out, and many more! Special features include interviews with some of the cast members, blooper reels, and audio commentary on some episodes. If you have a wicked sense of humor, GET THIS! you will not be dissapointed! And if you're easily offended, you might wanna steer clear of this masterpeice! or........ QUIT BEING A WUSSY!!!

I'll never understand how critics and audiences failed to be won over by the groundbreaking sitcom. Christopher Titus uses his series to discuss relationship with his parents, girlfriend, friend and stepbrother.The cast is brilliant with Cynthia Watros as his loving and understanding girlfriend Erin Fitzpatrick. Zachary Shaw is terrific as his brother Dave. David Shatraw was terrific as friend, Tommy Shaftee. Stacy Keach should have earned Emmys for his performance as Titus' womanizing and drinking dad, Kenneth Titus.This was a smart funny series on Fox and aired from 2000 to 2003. Titus's mother, Juanita, had manic depressive and paranoid schizophrenia. This series deserved better by Fox and critics and audiences. It was groundbreaking for showing dysfunctional families like the Titus family and Erin's family as well. I thought Christine Estabrook was the best actress to play Juanita Titus. By second season, Frances Fisher played the role.There were guest performances by Richard Benjamin, Mary Lou Rosato and David Hyde Pierce (his husband Brian Hargrove was an executive producer) among them. The show was well-written and executed by a top notch cast. This show wasn't treated as well by it's network or it would have ran for several seasons instead of just three.Once Christopher Titus stopped talking about cars and girlfriends, he started talking about his highly dysfunctional family. His own experiences helped others in the audiences of his stand-up act relate to him better. Christopher Titus and Erin are no more sadly after years together. Still the laughter from this show is best expressed in "The Perfect Thanksgiving" episode with both families there and ending up in the emergency room at the hospital.Too bad, there were no special features like the behind the scenes, gag reels and the story behind the show. Christopher Titus is a brilliant comedian. The show tackled difficult issues like domestic violence (Christopher was the victim by a troubled ex-girlfriend revealed in the "Last Noelle" episode); drug and alcohol use; mental illness and more. If you ever thought that you're family was crazy, this show is perfect for you.

This really is a dark gem for U.K. audiences who missed it's U.K. Tv run. As americans will well know this title I am speaking to the Brits that missed it. You cannot buy it over here so if you have a multi regional dvd just buy it! The nearest humour to this would be 'Grounded for life' as that had a run on ITV. But this is far more original and the cast is absolute dynmite with superb writting. Extremely FUNNY show about 'Christopher Titus and his insane family, friend & girlfriend. JUST BUY IT AS YOU CANNOT GET IT IN THE UK!
