The Pitts is an American sitcom that aired Sunday at 9:30 on Fox between March and April 2003. It is about a family and their bad luck. The show featured absurd, fantastical plots presented within the context of a seemingly normal family sitcom. It was cancelled after two months.

Premise
The Pitts seem like a regular down-to-earth family but unfortunately not a day goes by without them having some sort of bad luck. From the probable to the out right zany, no matter what, they deal with it as a family.

Fox ordered seven episodes of the series, the network canceled the show after only five episodes aired.

Kellie Waymire died in 2003, and Allison Janney has been cast in her role.
