Talk:Sit Down, Shut Up (2009 TV series)

fourth wall

i think it should be mentioned that the show breaks the fourth wallIAmTheCoinMan (talk) 09:54, 28 April 2009 (UTC) ...From first episode

• flashbacks mentioned in referenced
• "Come on we gotta win this thing this is the pilot"
• laughed track after "i need a catchphrase"

also relationship to Arrested development, both the AD pilot and this pilot had winking jokes in them. Also the similar cast members. IAmTheCoinMan (talk) 10:12, 28 April 2009 (UTC)

Perhaps it could be mentioned that the show breaks the fourth wall, but this is really nothing special, especially in comedy cartoons, so any mention should take that into account and not paint it as something unique. The Simpsons, Family Guy, American Dad, and South Park, just to name the most prominant ones, all do it with some frequency. Also, any comparison to another show would have to be carefully sourced - remember the "No original research" rule. It'll be tough to find anything to support the comparison, especially in a show this new. Feel free to try, but honestly any similarities they may have are likely so insignificant as to not merit the effort.129.171.233.78 (talk) 21:51, 5 May 2009 (UTC)

Its Cancled according to Yahoo

According to Yahoo the Show is Cancled http://tv.yahoo.com/blog/farewell-to-our-favorite-and-notsofavorite-tv-series--351 Yami (talk) 19:00, 22 May 2009 (UTC)

God, how could anyone dislike this show? Yes I'm one of those who thinks Arrested Development is the greatest highwater mark of highwater marks for the TV show as genre and as manifestestion of privately funded salvation through humor and engrossing characters and . . . Sit Down, Shut Up can't be expected to be the New Simpsons . . . can't we find anymore good reviews? This show has been stabbed in the back!!! —Preceding unsigned comment added by 98.246.184.50 (talk) 18:31, 27 May 2009 (UTC)

This is a tricky situation because three days before yahoo said it was dead, IGN had the creator denying such rumors...i think until there is a little more concrete evedence the article should remain as if the show will continue —Preceding unsigned comment added by 173.48.62.136 (talk) 07:07, 29 June 2009 (UTC)

I agree. The fact is that the information about the Fall schedule used to write the Yahoo article (that supposedly -proves- "sit down shut up" is dead by virtue of not being on the fall 2009 schedule when it wasn't ever supposed to be a Fall show anyway), came at the exact same meeting (the FOX up-fronts) that Mitch Hurwitz identified the show was "Not dead". He also identified in that article that he was working on finishing up the rest of the 13 ordered episodes at that time. So we should expect that in addition to "Math Lab" there are most likely some other completed, unaired, episodes.. possibly as many as 9. This is something that needs to be played by ear though. The best we can do in the article right now is state the facts as we know them. I feel this article has come a long way towards being "factual" over the past week... Also important to note that it is now widely accepted that "Math Lab" was pulled for content concerns at the early slot of 7:00PM and not simply because of poor ratings. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 72.81.50.144 (talk) 14:23, 29 June 2009 (UTC)

Weasel Words?

Why is there a general weasel words flag at the beginning of this article with no inline notations to demonstrate such a claim, and worse, no reason given on the Talk Page? Since it's simply posted with no explanation of WHY, I'm removing it. How can an editor be expected to resolve an article's issue of integrity without knowing what the issue is? My removal of the tag is not a stance on whether there are weasel words here or not - there may very well be. But articles should not be flagged without accompanying explanation or inline citation. -K10wnsta (talk) 00:43, 6 October 2009 (UTC)

Catchphrases.

I notice all the charter synopsis have listed the 'catchphrases'. This was just a really early one-time one-episode joke. I'm not sure if it's really relevant to have them all in the charter descriptions. 72.81.68.96 (talk) 01:19, 7 October 2009 (UTC)

I think it's fine as long as they aren't presented as though they are a running joke. Pothed (talk) 15:50, 19 October 2009 (UTC)

Coming to Comedy Central

Just saw a commercial and found this online.

http://www.comedycentral.com/press/index.jhtml?comingup=true

I'm pretty sure that the commercial said that it was premiering on May 10th, but the site says May 4th. Either way, it's confirmed that the show is now on the network. TheGary (talk) 23:05, 17 April 2010 (UTC)

Good Lord

Can we please give an award to whatever 8 year old child came up with all the "The Bruno Show" stuff on this page? It's fucking hilarious.
