Jesus christ, that re-contextualization of the 'harming others, harming one's self and destroying property' literally made me cry. It's just...fucking excellent.

[@ChrisShameless]

So brilliantly done.....

I swear. the series can turn that emotional switch in a INSTANT. Laughter, Gasps, Tears. ... Reminds me of why I love the Step Up or Step Aside special he did. A true gift. #TitusDiuVivere 🙌🤘✊

[@timcarter1164]

Once again, my favorite television program ever. As always, able to take a very serious subject, find humor in it, without making fun of it.

[@Metalalbumreviewers]

Zack Ward was such a hoot on this show.

[@sumthingwikked4257]

He needs to make his own sketch comedy. Call it "Ward of the State"

[@Toast960]

I loved Frances Fisher as Titus' mom but I don't think she got the insanity down as well as Christine Estabrook did in Season 1.

[@Panwere36]

I agree to a point, however, Frances Fisher does well in capturing the side of Juanita that was all the good things that his mother was. Sadly, the abusive boyfriend she "dealt with" the way she did most likely insured her untimely death.

[@canaisyoung3601]

@@Panwere36 Still better than the Connie Francis take on her, which played up her mental illness like she was this misunderstood superheroine, though I did like the episode where Titus thinks Juanita escaped from the mental hospital and killed someone, only for Titus to learn that she committed suicide in Missouri.

[@agentcoulson4804]

One of the funniest episodes ever, in my opinion. But I got admit, I still tear up when he begins to describe the criteria as an adult, and shows how his mom may have gotten that way.

[@3ShotTGK]

It's that shot of him saying the criteria with his back to the camera that was incredible

[@coltclassic45]

We need a GoFundMe for a reunion special

[@canaisyoung3601]

There's already one (of sorts). It's on Titus' website. It's an episode called "Homecoming" that showed what happened to Titus after he stayed in the mental hospital following his emotional breakdown on an airplane.

[@TellMeWhenImTellingLies]

They filmed a two episode finale... Spoiler Tommy the little scum bag stole Erin from Titus while he was in the nut hatch

[@LisaMarieGehret]

Perfect writing - the criteria of the Association of Mental Health - and how Titus applied it to both parents. So talented!!

[@canaisyoung3601]

I thought it was showing the reason why she had a psychotic episode (at least the first two times): "harm to others" was because Ken dumped cereal on his son's head and "harm to self" was because Ken insulted her hair (and, considering how she used to be a beauty pageant contestant, she probably flipped out over her appearance many times).

[@static2099]

Thanks Titus! Kicked my week off with a high note. Also, my favorite actress playing your mom. I think she had the best chemistry with the cast, especially Stacy Keach.

[@katarinakrnjevic8183]

Titus is so much better than other sitcoms from that time like for example :kings of Queens, Dharma and Greg and that's 70s show.

[@wayne5553]

🤣😂🤣😂🤣 my dad did that same thing when I was nine. I lived in south Carolina at the time. My best friend was black and my neighbor hood wasn't happy with me. One day my dad looked out side and saw about 7 older kids trying to start crap with me over my friend. My dad walked out side and said if you wanna fight him that's fine...get in a line. And honestly when I say him coming I was relieved. Lol I learned something that day. He has faith in me.My dad's been teaching me marital arts since I could walk. My dad was in Vietnam when he was 17. He's a bad ass. Miss you old man. Rip

[@kaydiahaughton6418]

Wow that's so cool I'm a big fan of martial arts myself but never got the chance to learn

[@DeadKarr]

I love the way you guys portrayed Ken in this episode as if he is in the wrong, cept he is right his actions were wrong so no one believed him very accurate how mental patients manipulate situations

[@Metalalbumreviewers]

"Take the big one while you're still fresh". There has never been a more accurate depiction of men like my father in television history than that line. Knowing he was going to watch my ass get whooped, but giving me advice to get the least amount of ass-whooping possible. Thanks, and RIP, Dad. You beautiful, callused, abusive, sarcastic, angry, distant, but realistic and supportive bastard. I'd rather be prepared for the world a thousand times over by you, than given an "ideal" childhood. Always tackle the big problems first.

Christopher Titus for President? Thanks for putting these out. Loved them then, appreciate them even more now.

[@derekgritzmacher9709]

Thank you for posting these! I loved this series when it was still on the air, I can still remember watching them with my Dad as a kid. He passed away on April 13th last year, I wish I could rewatch the series with him. One of the last things we were supposed to do together before he became to sick was to see you at the Crest theater in sacramento last February. Thank you for bringing us so much joy and laughter.

"Or she stole the answers"...Zack Ward, as Dave, was always the workhorse on this show, in terms of comedy. I always loved the whole cast, but you knew what to expect from Christopher & Ken, because of his stand-up. Tommy was always the "opposite day" of Titus. Erin was always the supportive role in the show. Dave, on the other hand, always chimed in when you least expected it, and his lines were always funny!

Nah, that's one of her personalities.

[@aznthy]

This is when his mom became a different actress, I wondered why.

[@djseifer]

Partially to show how his mom's personality could change from one moment to the next, partially because they couldn't afford the previous actress.

[@djsosonut]

@@djseifer Plus I liked that it sorta became a running gag since they changed the actress again next season.

[@greenmeat1270]

When her character became a staple, they'd just signed him up for a second season, I wonder what happened to the original actress

[@Vuglarvandal]

@@djseifer jesus that was a grasp of a explanation

[@PIXPromosMore]

I think the Official reason was because Estabrook was cast as Nikki Cox's mother in law on her short lived sitcom on (what used to be) The WB in 2000; Sometimes actors are too busy with other things to do other things--same might've been the case when Connie Stevens took over for Frances Fisher in Season 3.

[@cerpintaxt362]

I always wanted to know, did you have a different actor for your Mom each season because of multiple personalities?

[@MadShadow_]

He did mention something that the original Actor couldn't come back due to scheduling, and so they had each season a different one to play the same role seemed eventually very appropriate cause of what you are wondering.

[@alanstoyles6010]

he also mentioned it was someone comparable to him having so many "moms" in his life. that was on the dvd commentary i think

[@LunasOnlyLover]

This show is fuckin amazing

[@Harmthuria]

The Dr. says they have all of the information where she tried and killed Kenneth in the past, and yet, they want to release her. This show is a comedy, but they do this far too much in real life. Thankfully, no one from my immediate family was ever incarcerated. My father's mother was often sent to the mental wing of the hospitals she was in because she often had minor depressions. But in her defense, she's bi-polar. She never was a threat to anyone or herself, she just has a lot of ups and downs. And my father is no help. Similar to Titus, I remember being a kid and eating supper with my grandmother at our place because she was in another depression, and my father would yell at her. I had never seen this before, a kid yelling at his parent. I remember that it hurt me (emotionally I mean) so bad, that when he was taking a breather, I told to listen to his mother. I'm proud I did that. I was either not in kindergarten yet, or I had just started, and I told him that. But then of course he turns his attention to me, and yells at me, I don't listen to my mother. You can say that my mental issue is pigheadedness. I've thrown this memory in my dad's face so much in 30 years, I've lost count. Nobody's perfect.

Love this show since I was a kid. Mostly cause I saw some similarities of my life in the show.

[@theangriestpigeon4403]

As someone who grew up with a schizophrenic guardian, the scenes of the mother an abusive spouse hits way too close to home. It's honestly quite tragic how often it happens, and even more heartbreaking just how much damage is healed once you remove the abusive spouse from the equation. ….They stopped drinking, smoking, taking medication regularly as soon as their spouse was sent to prison. Really shows just how much damage one person can have on another.

[@tommymcweedface229]

Wow. I'm so sorry. Dad (step) and real were alcoholic kid beaters. I turned into alcoholic too, and an asshole too. Kid turned to meth and who knows what else. Got a granddaughter that keeps me going. I'm doing good stuff for her that they never did for me. She more or less saved my life, and she is my anchor.

[@roddywhite4161]

My dad is schizophrenic. He isnt abusive but is completely insane. He is obsessed with God and the Bible to the point that is all he will talk about and do. He says there is nothing wrong with him and it is angles and demons that talk to him and that us why no one else can here them. The guy is so removed from reality he can't tell you about a single thing going on in the world today. Its like after the early 2000s he dosnt know a single thing about the world. He thinks cd players are ground breaking technology. It's very deficult to talk to him considering he doesn't want to talk about anything but god
