The comedic chronicles of Christopher Titus's profoundly dysfunctional family came to an end with Titus's third season (2001-2002), and while it's not known if Titus and his co-producers knew that the bell was tolling for their risky show, the go-for-broke tone of these episodes certainly suggests that they weren't going to leave the airwaves without raising a ruckus. How else to explain such hit-the-brakes storylines as "The Trial," which has Titus's mother (played in this season by Connie Stevens) facing a jury for the murder of her abusive husband (with former spouse Ken Titus, played by the consistently uproarious Stacey Keach, itching to testify against her), or the verboten romance between Tommy (David Shawtraw) and Titus's pregnant sister (Elizabeth Berkely) in "Tommy's Crush," or the two-parter "Insanity Genetic," where Titus's fears that his family's instability might threaten his relationship with Erin (Lost's Cynthia Watros) land him in jail. The episodes compiled in this set are raw, occasionally taboo, and definitely not TV Family Night material (although maybe they should be), but series fans and those looking for comedy with some emotional bite will appreciate that this underappreciated series has finally made it to DVD. The set includes commentary by Titus and co-producers Brian Hargrove and Jack Kenney, and interviews with Keach, Watros, and Zack Ward, who played Titus's brother Dave. --Paul Gaita
Description
This half-hour comedy chronicles the hilarious world of Christopher Titus and his totally messed-up poor white trash family. Between his drunken father, his dimwitted brother, and his goody-goody best friend, it's amazing Titus is alive, let alone engaged to a "normal" girl.

Season 3 of Titus is great. In the 3rd season it's still funny, but not as funny as seasons 1&2. As the season progresses, it feels odd. You find yourself wondering why they are in these places doing wierd things. To me it's hard to justify a whole episode taking place in a school, plane, bar, or a diner for no aparently good reason. The show finds itself again in later episodes, just to get lost again in the final episode. It's just a shame to see the funniest show ever on TV go out like that. Thank you FOX for canceling it before it got even worse.
 Titus June 29, 2008
I really like this series ,very funny, but it doesn't have subtitles, I think is very important and necesary in all dvd's.
Not Your Standard Sitcom June 20, 2008
Fall down funny but not for the weak of heart. I recently rewatched every episode in tandem and found that it was just as awesome as I remember. This is a must-have for any comedy fan with a pulse.
 It had run its course June 13, 2008

By Season 3, this show had run its course. It almost seemed as though the writers sensed that the show was on the chopping block and tried to cram more melodrama in before they were cancelled. I mean, first the niece was abandoned by her parents, then briefly gay, then bullied by schoolmates and finally confronted with previous sexual abuse by a family friend. That's one mighty unlucky teen. I understand that Christopher Titus had an unusually rough childhood, but this was completely over the top. The writers seemed to pride themselves for being cutting edge, but in the end they relied on the old sitcom staple and focused on a kid to attract a younger audience. It was a clumsy effort.
