Titus was probably one of the funniest shows ever on Fox and it’s a real shame they canceled. But now it’s back… sort of.

> Titus’ new project picks up eight years later in the life of the comedian who has gone through a marriage and a divorce since the end of his Fox series. In the new show, which has received a script order by the network, Titus would star as a current version of himself, dealing with his great new girlfriend and her solid family as well as his crazy ex-wife.

Let’s hope they can bring Cynthia Watros, Stacy Keach and Scott Farkus back.

Does that make Cynthia Watros the crazy ex-wife? Not sure I can buy that. His show/standup is really really funny. I’m looking forward to this!

Agreed. They were so normal the first go around, it’s going to be hard to believe they’re crazy now. Although maybe it’s not really a continuation and is a new show instead.

If crazy ex wives were crazy right of the bat they wouldn’t be ex wives.

Cool. Titus walks a fine line. His bitterness is the source of his humor, but sometimes it delves into just anger and betrayal, and forgets to be funny.

But when he’s on, he’s _on_.

When’s the premiere? I need to set my VCR (yes, I still use one. It works fine.)

Though Stacy Keach is a must.

If it’s semi-autobiographical, then Keach is dead, his ashes in a carpet in Vegas.

I got to talk to Christopher when he played Goodnight’s in Raleigh, and he told us that he had a new show coming out this Fall and he promised not to mouth off to the network execs this time. 🙂 He’s a really nice guy. His girlfriend opened for him and well, we know how she got the job. She was terrible and I hope she’s not actually playing herself on the new show.

I look forward to this…but Fox’s live action comedy record is pretty thin…Titus being one of the notable bright spots though.

Yeah, it says it’ll be about his current life. His dad’s been dead quite a while now. No Keach, _except_ perhaps as flashbacks. There’s always that hope.
