The Pitts to return as an animated program?
Remember The Pitts? The sit-com that ran for four weeks on Fox back in April of '03? That starred Dylan Baker, Lizzy Caplan, and the late Kellie Waymire? Created by a guy who worked on The Simpsons for like 15 years, including the '91-'95 glory days? Directed by total pros like Tom Cherones (familiar to anybody who ever watched a bonus feature on the Seinfeld DVDs) and Lee Shallat Chemel (Gilmore Girls, Arrested Development, Newsradio, Head of the Class, Cavemen, uh, Becker... like twenty dozen more...)? Had an episode where the teenaged daughter's brand new Volkswagon bug was possessed by the ghost of a pedophiliac black man? Which made the daughter depressed, because she already had a haunted cello? Had another episode in which the parents entered a fun run, wound up lost in the misty moors, and got bitten by werewolves? Well, it was a pretty great show, and apparently it might be returning in animated form. With the same writers, with Baker and Caplan, and with Andy Milonakis voicing the son. This is potentially good news.
