This was a short lived TV show about a small business owner and his family. It stars Christopher Titus in the title role but it really is an ensemble of very funny actors including Stacy Keach. If you ever saw Titus' stand-up act then alot of it will be familiar. It features subject matter that may be too heavy for some people's sense of humor. Among others, topics like mental illness, drug/alcohol abuse, date rape, infidelity and severe illness/injury were all covered. It was all done so well that even if you were brought up in a "normal" family you'll laugh. And laugh. This show featured pretty women, handsome men, a few glimpses of some kool cars and even a celebrity guest or two, but mostly it featured lots and lots of funny. I think this title is out of print so prices may vary wildly, especially on this site. Buy wisely.Read full review

Are you looking for real life comedy that doesn't go into the stereotypical jokes over and over again? Then this is DEFINATELY the comedy for you. Based on Christopher Titus's bad childhood, this sitcom goes places no one else wants to go. Drinking problems, marijuana use, physco mothers...what more could you ask for? Titus does a fine job of making you laugh at the dark parts of life, especially when things get crappy. FOX took it off the air because it was too controversial, so obviously it has to be funny. I LOVE LOVE LOVE this sitcom - it's different and HILARIOUS! If you don't like it then, as Papa Titus would've put it, you're a wussy.
When I first watched this show...years back when it was on Fox, I loved the show for who and what it is. I had no clue Titus was a comedian. I just thought the show was so real! This isn't about a happy family with stupid problems that no one in the world can relate to...this is REAL! Thisis what a family is really like! The show is based around Chris Titus who basically narrates his life. He has a nice girlfriend, a very dumb brother Dave, a very flamboyant best friend and partner Tommy (My favorite character!), and his lustful drunk father. I love how he narrates the epsiodes. No one else does that! After the show was off air...years later I saw Chris Titus doing standup. And his standup (Normal Rockwell is bleeding) is exactly like what he said in the TV! Its is really good! Get this DVD and you will be laughing because you are glad your family isnt like his!Read full review

this show ROCKS, a lot of people never got it, this was real life & way too funny, it was dark & went places cosby would never go, butt if you had a messed up family growing up then you can relate & you will see you are just a wussy compared to what christopher titus went thru, stacy keach is a 90's answer to archie bunker, someday this show will get what it deserves, it had great ratings butt FOX turned into a big wussy since this show was going into taboo subjects, if you like real life sitcoms that are real, you will LOVE this & you will never forget PAPA TITUS, he steals the show & the rest of the gang was great too, just sad it ended, butt not forgotten, the only problem was some did not get it & since they did not start from the beginning, they did not get it, butt now that has been solved, you can start from episode 1 & go to the end, a timeless treasure!!!!!!!!!Read full review
Here are some quick impressions of the series Titus, starring Christopher Titus and his dysfunctional family, fiancee and friends. I trimmed back some of my cable offerings due to budget considerations, and did not have access to the Showtime network that airs Titus. Recently however, I was watching Comedy Central and caught Titus' "Norman Rockwell is Bleeding" skit, based on his upbringing in northern California by his (alcoholic) father. Some may view Titus' style of comedy a bit risky because he dives headlong into controversial issues concerning family, friends and relationships. He holds nothing back, and either you like that or you don't. For example, during one scene (in a flashback to when Titus was a youngster hanging out with dad-played very well by Stacey Keach-in a bar) they went to the mens room where there was a dispenser hanging on the wall. Titus asked dad for some change for bubble gum, at which point he informs Titus that he might as well have "the" conversation with his son (about sex) now and explains that ribbed for her pleasure is for the first time-after that don't waste the extra quarter...you see what I mean: hilarious on the one hand, but a bit scary as most of Titus material is based more or less on real-life experiences! If your not too timid-get it, watch it, and laugh your head off! Bill AndersonRead full review
I’m so glad to have found this show for sale. It’s very funny and it was one I enjoyed quite a bit when it was on the air. Great price and good condition.

Halfway through and really enjoying - we have to rewind often because we are laughing so much we miss the next joke. It's amazing that Christopher Titus is not in the "wacko basket" after his childhood/adolescence - read his bio on Wikipedia and you'll agree. It's inspirational that he turned the negatives into positives and one of the funniest sitcoms I've ever seen.
