ghost of TV shows past



there are some tv shows that you think are so good, they'll pretty much never go off air. so much so, you don't feel too badly if you miss an ep, sure to catch the rerun. then, with little to no warning, it's gone.

titus was one of those. it was hilarious and not just a little scary. it had style. the narrator sequences shot in black and white like a noire-ish interrogation room. and some seriously disturbed (and disturbing) characters.

these days with almost all sitcoms (and dramas) featuring 'dysfunctional' families, it's harder to describe why Titus is still special. but, for me, the point is that the show isn't just a showcase of 'see how wierd we are! top that jerry springer!'
you see the strength of relationships, you grudgingly acknowledge intentions, however misguided, and you see a telling link of past events and future outcomes.

and none of this is taken at all seriously. you still rule, Titus!
