Sitcoms, as history has shows us normally are candy sweet, unrealistic, formulaic crap. None of which can you use to describe the excellent show "Titus". The show is bested on Christopher Titus' comic routine "Norman Rockwell is Bleeding", and what a routine to base a sitcom on. "Titus" follows the everyday life of Christopher Titus and his amazingly dysfunctional family: his insanely cruel and politically incorrect but loving father Ken, his moronic little brother Dave, his equally screwed up girlfriend Erin and his effeminate best friend Tommy. The thing about this show most of the stuff that happens in the show had already happen to Titus in his real life(yes his mom really did kill her husband).
I really don't think there was a more underrated show on TV ever. "Titus" was something very rare in TV Land a Dark Sitcom. There where very few if any Dark Sitcoms out there and the ones that where/are out there I don't think are nearly as dark as "Titus". It barely even seems like a sitcom it was so different from the rest of the pack. "Titus'" only crime is that it was on the FOX network who is infamous for killing shows and killed the show in it's 3 season w/o a serious finale. That is the only episode that is missing, the last one other then that the show is perfect the way it is. There are few sitcoms I will say are actually good and not just say "it's a sitcom so you know it is alright". If you grew up with a dysfunctional family,(Like 63% of American Families) know anyone who did or just like dark comedy this a sitcom for you.
