Season 1 Review: An edgy but spotty comedy in desperate need of a moral compass. The dysfunction part is a riot, but do viewers really need more sophomoric jokes about alcoholism and lesbians? [20 March 2000]

Season 1 Review: With its emphasis on dysfunction, Titus allows for dramatic moments that actually ring true. But they're few and far between in this show punctuated by flashbacks that interrupt the narrative flow. Titus suffers from a TV version of Attention Deficit Disorder, similar to the tangents on Fox's "Family Guy" but a lot less funny. [20 March 2000]

Season 1 Review: The material in Titus, supposedly based on Titus's real experiences, never rises above the kind of abrasive, working-class-guy humor that is already wearing thin on "The Drew Carey Show" and "Norm." It doesn't help that the show has an obnoxiously brash laugh track. [20 March 2000]

Season 1 Review: Second-rate comedian stars in third-rate situation comedy! Stop the presses! Hold the phone! [20 March 2000, p.C01]

Season 1 Review: You have to hope the show is therapeutic for Titus, because it has little entertainment value. [19 March 2000, p.F1]
