Our Review
Titus (2000) is a drama and comedy series from FOX. It has built a run of 54 episodes at roughly 25 minutes each. It premiered on March 20, 2000. Viewers rate it 7.6 out of 10. It is currently ended. It runs 3 seasons.
What Titus Is About
In this dark comedy based on the life of comedian Christopher Titus and his stand-up routine “Norman Rockwell is Bleeding”, Titus plays himself trying to run a custom car shop. He has to deal with his overbearing jerk of a father Ken, his crazy half-brother Dave, his prim proper friend Tommy, and his girlfriend Erin. Titus narrates the show, typically from his Neutral Room, a black-and-white empty room, and regularly interrupts the story for off-the-cuff flashbacks from his childhood or Ken’s many failed incidents of romance and fatherhood. Many of the incidents presented are taken from Titus’ life.
What to Expect When You Watch
Episodes run about 25 minutes, which keeps the pace tight, the full run covers 54 episodes, spread across 3 seasons and it leans into its drama/comedy roots while leaving room for the quieter character beats.
Performance-wise the series leans on Christopher Titus, Zack Ward and Cynthia Watros to carry the emotional weight, with the rest of the ensemble filling out the world around them.
Cast and Creative Team
Christopher Titus, Zack Ward, Cynthia Watros, Stacy Keach, David Shatraw and Rachel Roth lead the cast.
Key roles include Christopher Titus as Christopher Titus; Zack Ward as Dave Titus; Cynthia Watros as Erin Fitzpatrick; Stacy Keach as Ken Titus; David Shatraw as Tommy Shafter.
Why It Stands Out
Fans of drama, comedy and family have a clear reason to give this one a shot. It sits comfortably alongside FOX’s other originals, a 7.6/10 audience score puts it in steady company and it commits to its premise instead of hedging between tones.
Released in 2000 and carried by FOX with the series still ended, it lands hardest with drama and comedy viewers.

On the whole Titus is the kind of series that rewards a patient watch, with Christopher Titus and Zack Ward doing the heaviest lifting, a tone that stays true to its drama/comedy roots, It has held up since 2000 and so if the premise sounds like your lane, the execution holds up.
The Bottom Line
Titus is a safe bet for anyone already inside the drama and comedy lane, at 54 episodes it is an easy run to work through, the audience score holds around 7.6/10 and so there is little risk in starting it tonight.
Verdict: 7.6/10. Watch it if you want drama/comedy you can settle into.
