【内容简介】：

根据Christopher Titus（最喜欢的喜剧演员之一）的stand-up改编，以Christopher的生活为原型，此剧又展示里一个dysfunctional family，不过和其他的同类型的sitcom不同的是，这部可以成为终极dysfuntional family。Christopher和弟弟还有朋友Tommy合开一家车行，弟弟有点呆，朋友Tommy很靠得住，就是有点anal，女朋友是个正常人，非常hot，父亲结过5次婚，母亲是神经病，这一家子人凑到一起，不热闹才怪。

个人评述：由于薪水问题和播放时间问题，Titus播放3季后就被cancel，但是并不能说Titus不好看，众多人认为历史上最不应该cancel的sitcom就是Titus。开播第一季就成为FOX历史上收视率最高的mid-season replacement。第二季收视率也在和Friends抗衡，由于FOX新领导上任，把Titus的播放时间换来换去，搞得观众总是错过时间观看，最后收视率下降了，而且Titus先生认为薪水太低，最终停拍。

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.
