They should have atleast finished the series. Strictly for the fact that they are disappointing 5.21 million viewers. (I couldn’t watch them all because I could never find it! They moved it around from different time, to channel) I watched it whenever possible, but it clearly wasn’t. That may be the reason they lost so many viewers, they should have kept it on the same channel. How can you change something that many times when they only made 13 episodes?

They should make the last 9 episodes. King of the Hill, Family Guy, The Simpsons, and Futurama all had low ratings at one point or another, but they still have loyal viewer’s who watched it for all eighteen years(The Simpsons).

Make the last episodes, and see how it goes.

If you don’t like the show, don’t watch. Don’t put a bad word in for the show, you ruin it for the millions that DO. Say what you disliked about the show, and how they can improve it, but that’s no reason to take it off.

“Even all my friends agreed” You’re young. That much is obvious, so how can you relate?

No one who apprciates a good comedy will miss it” And I suppose Family Guy is a good comedy? No, it’s just insult and insult. Stereotype, and another.

“You hafe to be a real boring person to enjoy it” Opposed to watching friends, and Futurama all day?

“It’s trying to be like all other animated shows” Why, because it just so happens to be animated? How many animated shows have realistic backgrounds, and adults for the main characters? I’ve never seen an animated show this like before.

“Plain and awkward conversations” Take a look at this generations idea of television. You’ve got nowhere else to go. Plain and awkward? Try having to sit through a half hour of Peter’s non-stop ramble of his black history, how Quahog was made, and how fat and ugly Meg is. How about South park’s episodes of Kenny repeatably dying in every episode, Cartman making sexist/racist jokes, and Stan learning something new? That’s plain and awkward conversations. What are the punchlines to those jokes? Same thing everytime, “Don’t do it again”.

I completely agree that they should have never cancelled King of the Hill, but they didn’t cancel it for this show. They cancelled the show because it’s been the same old ‘Yup, Yup, Yup, Mhmm” for fourteen years.

South park runs shows about blow-up dolls, meth labs, cannibals, rape, racism and sexism all the time, but if this show were to air a show on a meth lab(Oh no!) it gets taken off the air? Well then we best we protesting Family Guy, The Simpsons, South Park, Futurama, American Dad, The Cleveland Show, Robot Chicken, Moral Oral, Father of the Pride, and any other animated television series that so much as MENTIONS an illegal substance. Well, if we did that we would have nothing to watch on television.

I’ve summed up all of your comments, and it’s be shown that you have nothing worth sending this show off the air. Best be getting rid of all the other animated shows while we’re at it!

Don’t bother saying anything to me, people who dislike Sit Down, Shut Up, because I’m not going to read this again.
And you can’t change anyone’s opinion. Nothing will change my opinion. I like this show, and I am proud of it.

and one of the best aspects of his writing style are subtle repeated jokes and self references, which come from watching over time. but of course, people are just faaaaaar too impatient to actually let something grow a bit, and now it looks like it won’t even get to go past 4 episodes. so my point’s moot anyway. it’s just kind of a shame.

ps – it’s weird to hear “a whole lot of weird and awkward conversations” cited as a reason something WASN’T funny. that’s kind of the definition of funny to me.

Sure it may have it setbacks with the people, but this show reminded me so much of the storyline & (the attempt to ruin the) plot like The Tick cartoon series from the 1990s. Shows like that don’t ever come about this decade, and I’m sure they’ll be as rare as ever come the 2010s. But I loved Sit Down, Shut Up so much, it might as well be yet another canceled cartoon that Will Forte voiced for like he did Clone High back in 2002-2003.

If anything, the smartest idea was to have put this show on Adult Swim, and see where the ratings go from there. Just like PoKeMoN, Yu-Gi-Oh, 6Teen, Futurama, Family Guy, & American Dad, this show would be one more from another network that will soon rake in more than it’s missing share of viewers, let alone the chance of there being a Season 2 in the mix. If Kids WB/Kids CW, YTV/Nickelodeon, & FOX can pitch their shows to Cartoon Network/Adult Swim(aside from Futurama later becoming part of the Comedy Central schedule) & make them popular again, then why not do that with Sit Down, Shut Up???

Sit Down, Shut Up is yet another God, The Devil, & Bob…meaning, it only lasted very little time on the air, became very low in the ratings, and got panned by a lot of people. Going from a religious spat about a cartoon show in the year 2000 all the way up to an unwatchable show that no one had ever gave much of a chance to see that was literally funny to some who got the idea behind the story & whatnot in 2009 is just more baffling than ever.

If this were on YouTube, it’d get a lot of views, just in the same as Adult Swim would. But to have FOX put it on there 3 times & NOT give it much credibility to the point of finding it on a Wal-Mart shelf for as little as $10 is NOT the way to go. I’m sorry, but Sit Down, Shut Up deserved WAY BETTER…and the better of it would be ADULT SWIM.

If Turner Broadcasting is looking at this comment right now, they should do it, and hopefully BRING BACK SIT DOWN, SHUT UP!!! For realz.

They want ratings? bring back hank hill, i tell ya what
