😂 believe it or not Ken is exactly like my father in-law Kenny! He did the same damn things 😂 including getting his son drunk at 4 because he didn't have anything to drink for his 4 year old son so he gave him a beer 😂

[@allfrogs247]

Zack Ward can deliver any line with 100% sincerity.

[@ronaldburgess2884]

He ain't no Scut Farcus no more.

[@BW12149]

I would’ve loved to see the outtakes of Titus not being able to keep from laughing at Dave and Tommy while laying in that bed…

[@TheAntropoloco]

Stacy Keach made the show unbelievable. Love his character.

[@shadowjudge921]

"Who are we to argue with 'pa-koosh'?" 🤣 No doubt, this was Zack Ward's shining episode. 🌟

[@raymicheals4127]

This probably my favorite episode of this show for many reasons. 1 Stacy Keach performance is fantastic in this episode being both realistic and vulnerable while still being funny. 2 the timing of the jokes are great. 3 this episode is a tribute to Christopher Titus's dad ,Ken Titus.

[@craigells4151]

I was thinking the same thing but you said it first. 👍

[@sharko3211]

My favorite part about this episode is that Ken is the main character. He’s always set up as sorta god in a way, he has control and doesn’t have to worry (unless something really bad happens) and in this episode you see that he isn’t god he just plays that role because he can.

[@LowskBowski]

Agreed. It has been so great seeing this again.

[@yup_its_ME.512]

Stacy Keach looks so much like Titus' dad!

[@Ozzie_Mandias]

@@sharko3211 Aye... usually he is like an omnipotent mean-spirited, alcoholic, skirt chasing deity... who is always several hundred steps ahead of everyone...

[@moonraevyn6006]

10:42 How Titus didn't move with Zack screaming in his ear is the best acting in this episode. Lol

[@sharko3211]

I mean they probably recorded it several times before Titus didn’t respond

[@djseifer]

@@sharko3211 By that point, Titus was probably good and deaf enough in that ear to not hear Zach, earplug or not.

[@TheChrisHype]

Ken’s neutral place is kinda badass. Recliner. TV. Lamp. Fireplace. Open bar. I guess with age and/or wisdom, your neutral place becomes more open and customizable.

[@sharko3211]

Chris Hype yea, compared to Titus’ small empty room with a chair my dad made 6 years ago. (I actually would really like that chair tho, not cuz it looks comfy cuz it looks cool) Edit: Also ya added to the lore

[@panchoperfulcro8708]

Such an interesting take, about that customization

[@SyrupBuccaneer]

A beautifully designed 70s den.

[@Lawni]

For the past 20 years, I have been calling my friends and family "Motards" without remembering where I got it from. Turns out it was here. Thanks Titus!

[@TheSoulreaper4]

Stacey Keach was awesome as Ken, and I'm glad you put this gem on KZbin, Titus.

[@dvdhound79]

Ward screaming into Titus’ ear will always slay me. I’d love to see that outtake

[@lune78]

This show was cancelled way too soon. I've heard they were going to do a neutral space with Dave and Tommy as well. Imagine how EPIC that would've been. Thankfully they were able to do one with Erin.

[@Lycan4]

Dude, I would have LOVED to have seen a Neutral Space episode with Dave.

[@TheChadhausen]

lune78 I read that a revival was in the works and it was going to take place 10 years after the third season finale but never worked out. Maybe a chance of a revival set 20 years later?

[@MadShadow_]

@@TheChadhausen Think I've seen that wasn't that fake? Still a bit unsure though. Titus should at least do a Podcast with his former co-stars if he hasn't already.

[@IntoTheVoyd]

Yup, from the commentary on the DVD's. They planned on doing an episode each season featuring another cast member in the NS. Shame we didnt get one for tommy and dave, for sure. Both of them do get focal episodes in season 3, though, so at least there's that.

[@ShinRyojin]

The reasons Fox canceled it are pretty ironic. They wanted the next season where Christopher and Erin break up and and Christopher wanted the entire focus of the show as "two screwed up people living a normal life" and he felt a break up would compromise that. And yes there were talks of a revival based on his real life divorce from Erin which, if you guys heard the entire story, would’ve been an even darker show than the original.

[@barneyrubble736]

Zach Ward is AWESOME!!! Awe, hell... the whole cast is AWESOME!!!

[@ThePooler43]

Zack is a treasure glad he got time to shine on this show🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻

[@trevornorton2531]

Who would have guessed that the bully from Christmas Story would have some of the best lines from this show

Who else is hoping and wishing that after releasing all these episodes, he'll announce a continuation? I know it'll never happen, but by god I'm praying for it anyway!

[@chiroptera626]

Considering how he based this show around his life and what's happened since this show...I dunno

[@LVLouisCyphre]

Stacy Keach is getting up there. If it's going to happen, it better be soon. I couldn't picture anyone else but Stacy Keach playing Papa Titus nor can I picture anyone else but Phyllis Diller playing Grandma Titus.

[@roberthickey1107]

Thank you Brother Titus for sharing this with the world. Blessings to you and your family. 😜

[@aRandomGuy86]

After you release all the episodes of this show, you should release the bloopers as well. Especially the ones from last episode (The Pit). I still laugh at those even just thinking about them. lol.

[@MWM1978]

@@pamelacass9642 Yeah he died in 2001 but was alive during the shows production

[@3ShotTGK]

​@pamelacass9642 Ken was still alive around the time "Norman Rockwell is Bleeding" came out, and he had passed away before "5th Annual end of the world tour". During production of Titus his dad had passed away around this point. I guess this episode was closer to the actual death.

[@nitafaison9020]

My favorite episode

[@Toast960]

This was always one of my favorite episodes from the series. I had a Dad similar to Ken and though we butted heads a lot when I was younger, I now appreciate what he taught me and how much he pushed me to be a better person.

[@canaisyoung3601]

Cynthia Watros (Erin) was pregnant at the time of the episode. They hid it and mostly wrote it off as Erin gaining weight while she was in a wheelchair after trying to stop a burglar and breaking her leg. One episode even had her pregnant belly used in a visual gag showing that Erin is so overcompetitive that she'll beat anyone in an eating contest.

[@PIXPromosMore]

I heard that (before the show got canceled) there were supposed to be episodes where Dave & Tommy had their own "Neutral Spaces"; I know Erin gets one the next season. Also, I would've LOVED to see some more B-Roll footage of the Real Ken Titus (may he R.I.P.), was that ending part of a longer unaired interview or did you only record a quick blurb?
