	Titus (sitcom) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Titus was an Emmy nominated American dark-comedy sitcom that debuted on FOX in 2000.
		In an interview featured on the DVD of Seasons 1 and 2, Chris Titus states that he preferred the cancellation of the show was because it pushed the envelope and not because it wasn't funny.
		Titus admits that this flowed with the show well, considering how many times Titus' father, Ken, was married and divorced.

	Real-life family trauma becomes fodder for sitcom laughs
		Titus said his father never failed to pay the rent, never missed a car payment, but the way he's depicted caring for his children goes beyond tough love.
		Young Titus is also depicted as a pawn used by both his father and stepmother to conceal one another's infidelities.
		Titus, who started doing stand-up comedy at age 18, found he could work through his past by incorporating true stories into his stand-up act, starting in 1996.

	Apocalypse service (Metro Times Detroit) (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-29)
		Titus’ mother spent years in and out of mental hospitals; she even killed one of her husbands and eventually herself.
		Despite that “Titus” was faring quite well in the Fox rotation, the comedian soon learned that arrogance and a quick tongue would not be the best way to get his voice heard in the disposable world of television.
		Focusing on the apocalypse and workaday insanity is Titus’ new savior-faire.

		Titus' family is in turmoil as Juanita, Titus' mother (played by Connie Stevens), stands trial for murder; Ken can't wait to testify against her and put her away for good while Titus' friends mean well but offer up some highly incriminating evidence — the trial's eventual outcome is far from positive.
		Titus is elated when a car executive turns to him for a new design; unfortunately, Titus must rely upon Ken for some creative inspiration when he suffers from a creative block.
		Titus' bachelor party is a little derailed when he and the guys encounter a pregnant woman (Alex Borstein) going into labor, who needs their help to deliver her child.

	- 'Titus': King Of Dysfunctional Families
		With the advent of the animated sitcom, the TV dysfunctional family was taken to the next level, and show writers were able to push the envelope further.
		"Titus" is Fox's latest addition to its dysfunctional family reunion and is based on the real misadventures and stand-up comedy routines of the show's star and namesake.
		Titus and his brother Dave, played by Zack Ward, call their beer-sodden father the "anti-dad." Whenever his kids show signs of self-esteem, Anti-Dad is there to kick them back down.

		But Titus maintains it was more the relationship between himself and the Fox brass that soured rather than anything directly relating to the show.
		For Titus, it's just about the only job he's had, going back to the days when he would have to rush on stage, do his act, then flee the scene before being accosted for being underage in a nightclub.
		Titus will host the masters at the Montreal Comedy Festival, a venue that has been good to him in past years.

		Titus' demise ends a tumultuous partnership between the stand-up comic and Fox, one which involved personality conflicts and frequent clashes over content.
		Because Titus didn't have time to script an appropriate finale, the series ends with his alter ego — distraught over his mother's suicide —; being carted off to the psych ward.
		"Titus is in a mental hospital at the end of the show," he sighs.

	Boston.com / News / Boston Globe / Living / Arts / Once-arrogant Tituslightens up his act
		Once, while riffing on sitcom clichÃ©s with a friend, he realized that the current week's episode of his now-canceled Fox sitcom ''Titus" was remarkably close to the plot of his nightmares.
		Titus acknowledges he's been tough to work with, but says he's now finding the line between defending his artistic integrity and just plain arrogance.
		''Titus" was based on a one-man show called ''Norman Rockwell Is Bleeding" (picked up by Showtime as a special in November) that dealt with his father's alcoholism and his mother's suicide, delivered with an intensity just short of rage.

	Metroactive Stage \| Christopher Titus
		The sitcom, after all, was based on his popular one-man show Norman Rockwell Is Bleeding, in which Titus revealed the secret humorous side of living with a suicidal mom and a bullying dad.
		Titus, 37, was born in Worcester, Mass., but he grew up locally, primarily the Fremont/Newark area.
		As a teenager, he developed a fondness for classic hot rods, survived frequent fights with his hard-drinking father--actual fights, with real fists involved and everything--and eventually came to the realization that even though his family, his home life and his so-called childhood were, uh, monumentally fucked, he could still tell jokes about it.

		Titus, as her guardian, tries to talk her out of it, then discovers that Charlie, the love of Amy's life, is a cute blond chick in a leather jacket.
		Titus and his team are relishing the inevitable scene when his father, Ken, a modem-day Archie Bunker played by Stacy Keach, learns about Amy's preference for girls.
		Titus admits that the episode might spark some angry reactions for its light treatment of a heavy theme, but he defends it as another "laughter and joy through pain" example of his dysfunctional family history.

	Steppin' Out
		After wrapping up a three-season run as the star, co-creator and co-producer of the dark, acclaimed Fox sitcom Titus, stand-up comic Christopher Titus is touring the country and returning to his South Bay home base, where many of the strange but true family experiences that inspired episodes of Titus took place.
		Titus says that before he reshaped his stand-up act to include his signature material about his screwed-up family, he considered quitting comedy after performing for a decade.
		Titus says he has found that talking about his problems to an audience is better than sharing them with a shrink.

	Titus (series) (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-29)
		Titus' world is dominated by his hilariously emotionally abusive father Ken (played by Stacy Keach, whose performance is both fearless and unforgettable).
		While the elements of Titus might not sound like the stuff of high comedy, this is one of the most flat-out hilarious shows I've ever seen—and the biggest surprise of the show is that it is so consistently falling-down funny, while at the same time it manages some moments of true poignancy.
		In "The Visit," Titus and his fiancee Erin (Cynthia Watros) are planning to officially adopt Erin's teenaged niece, but their meeting with the social worker who will make the final decision is disrupted when Titus' psychotic mother (this season played by Connie Stevens) shows up unexpectedly.

	Titus
		The promos were obnoxiously ever-present, but they had Stacy Keach, and the lead was this big square-faced Busey-esque guy with a good grin.
		It’s different from the run-of-the-mill sitcom, not only with its narration and its tendency to cut from narration to flashback for a joke (pretty much exactly like Family Guy does, except live-action and with funny costumes to make Titus look like he’s in high school).
		Humans are imperfect, particularly in the Titus family, and the only way to deal with that is to work past it with someone you care about.

	Zap2it - TV features - "Titus": Taking The Fun Out Of Dysfunctional
		The autobiographical sitcom follows Christopher Titus, his alcoholic father Ken (Stacy Keach), brother Dave (Zack Ward) and girlfriend Erin (Cynthia Watros) on a non-linear roller coaster of flashbacks and fantasies.
		The show stylishly ventures away from the four-camera sitcom format, splicing present-time plots with bits of Christopher and Dave's childhood (the phrase "new mommy" becomes familiar thanks to their five-times-married dad) and fl and white interludes in which Titus waxes psychological directly to the camera.
		The Titus patriarch is an interesting and rather deadly blend of pushy stage dad and lousy drunk, but it's a role that anyone with a brash voice and weary swagger could execute.

		Titus, who will be taping his one-man show "Norman Rockwell is Bleeding" at UCLA's Freud Playhouse this Saturday night, has license to use such provocative jokes, considering he gets all of the inspiration straight from his own life.
		Titus also sees the humor in himself and decided at 17, after freakishly falling into a bonfire, to sober up and show people that it's better to laugh at life than to complain about it.
		Titus' life has revolved around comedy before he was even legal.

	Bio
		Titus is best known as the star, executive producer and co-creator of the critically acclaimed series TITUS, which ran on FOX TELEVISION for three years.
		Time Magazine called TITUS "brutal,hilarious and audacious," while Newsday called Christopher "TV's most original comic voice snice Seinfeld." Titus can next be seen in his Showtime Comedy Special, based on his one-man show "NORMAN ROCKWELL IS BLEEDING" on which his fox sitcom was inspired.

		The three best things about Chris Titus are 1) he soups up hot rods, 2) he calls everyone by his last name and 3) he tells the truth.
		Titus realized after a decade of "How's everyone doing out there?" stand-up that he had something to say and that he'd have to say it honestly.
		We reached Titus in New Orleans, where he was drumming up support for the show by entertaining Fox affiliates.

		Titus explains how closely the show mirrored his real life (it's insane how close the two are).
		Titus doesn't feel like a sitcom to me, though they have the audience (and the laughs).
		The stories told in Titus aren't typical of a sitcom; it doesn't have that "awww...now everything is all right" feeling that makes me want to gag.

	"TV Single Dads:Stacy Keach Interview"
		I had no idea that Ken Titus was a real person, and that these events really happened in some form or another in Christopher's life - - which of course made it even more interesting.
		The commonalities of Ken Titus and Eric Camden are that they are both interested in the development of their children's common sense - their methods just differ.
		Maybe the NFI will ponder the role of TV dads in the lives of their TV children, and realize that the opposite of love between child and parent is not abuse but indifference.

		The TV show Titus only lasted three gloriously painful, but very funny, seasons that were packed into two tumultuous years.
		Titus frankly thought that Berman's suggested changes, including "Tone it down!", were stupid and insulting to the show's core audience -- people who enjoyed seeing a family as spectacularly dysfunctional as the one depicted in the series.
		Titus says he resisted Berman by treating her, and her suggestions, with arrogance.

		Sally Lapiduss is an unlikely co-executive producer for the new sitcom "Titus." She and her younger sister, Maxine, had a normal family life growing up in Squirrel Hill -- a far cry from the dysfunctional childhood of "Titus" star Christopher Titus.
		For Sally, "Titus" represents an opportunity to work on an edgy show that she says doesn't rely on sex or bathroom humor.
		While waiting for word on whether "Titus" will be granted a second season, Sally is pitching an idea for a series to Lifetime and developing a sitcom for a thirtysomething woman, as opposed to the 20-year-old stars who have run rampant in prime time lately.

		Or again, when Titus finds out Erin is being sexually harassed, he immediately wants to use violence to solve this problem, just the way his father and mother used violence to solve their problems.
		Sitcoms were born and have survived as simplistic, feel-good entertainments, in which protagonists truly care about each other, are committed to staying together, and learn at least minor lessons about themselves, their relationships, and the world around them.
		Sitcoms allow us to laugh at situations that might echo our own lives, and in that laughter, we find a way to feel slightly better about our experience.
