emotional and sometimes just bizarre.
The
Future of The Pitts
April 22
According
to The
Futon Critic, The Pitts was originally scheduled
to continue another two weeks, ending May 11th, but was
pulled early for May sweeps. They currently list the show
as "on hiatus or fate to be determined". Many
critics are predicting an end to the show, including those
from the New

the Chicago
Sun-Times, and USA
Today [mirror].
All of this, despite Fox advertising a return for the show
"Sundays this Summer" on the official
website, possibly as early as June 9th.

Pitts
News Roundup
April 15
In
the current issue of People Magazine, you'll find

section with a full-page
article. Terry Kelleher's favorable review ends with

Next Sunday, two new episodes of The Pitts will be
airing, one at the usual timeslot, another two to three
hours earlier. The latter episode will guest-star Eddie
McClintock (A.U.S.A., Friends), who Kellie
would know quite well, having co-starred with him in
Screenland Drive, which was produced at a time when
both stars were quite unknown. Also, some have taken notice
that April 27th's listings
fail to show any sign of The Pitts, instead being
replaced by Oliver Beene, citing some to rumor of
the show's early demise.
Results
from The Pitts
April 1
The overnight
rankings reported from Zap2it
give The Pitts premiere a "so-so" Neilson
rating of 5.0, and a share of 9. The show's official

is the show's laugh track, credit has been given to the
show's over-the-top humor and sense of family unity.
