Call Me Fitz

Watched the first four episodes one after the other and thoroughly enjoyed this rather adult, quirky, dark comedy. Jason Priestly is in fine form as the lead and great to see him really acting again. The other characters, all weird in their own little ways, blend together nicely with him into a working but dysfunctional family of colleagues in a car sales lot. The reason Fitz is the way he is becomes apparent the more you watch this and you realize there are some serious issues beneath the surface. If you liked 'John from Cincinnati' you will love this as they are very similar.

Highly recommend.

I watched one episode (Mayor Andrews - because of Joe Flaherty) I enjoyed it but didn't get the whole story. Decided to start at the beginning. OMG!!!! What a fabulous, odd, bizarre and entertaining show. Recommend it highly as long as you are open minded - sexy (not sex) stuff, language and situations. You know adult not child stuff. I can't tell you how funny and odd it is. Joe Flaherty put it best - he was scheduled to guest star. He couldn't believe it was airing - couldn't believe the writer / creator could come up with such stuff. I'm glad she did! One of my favorite shows and never knew anything about Jason Priestly before this show . Love it!

Probably the last of the great adult comedy to not pull any punches. I was never a fan of Jason Priestly, I didn't dislike, if there was a Jason Priestly movie or series, I would past until Call Me Fritz. This show caused me to appreciate Jason Priestly acting talents. I will never binge watch 90210. I have a great appreciation for his work in the movie Tombstone and his other projects. This new found appreciation started with this show.

As a Canadian ex-pat I am always sure to check out some of the TV offerings from north of the border and usually I am very disappointed by all the shows I see, both in comedy and in drama. Other than "Orphan Black" there hasn't been too much to rave about from my home country on an ongoing basis since the days of Kids in the Hall, etc. Even "Hockey Night in Canada" is not very reliable any more since it moved to the new network with new personnel (seriously, I like George Strombo but as a hockey host he is terrible, terrible, terrible!)

So I was very pleasantly surprised by this show, "Call Me Fitz." I hadn't even heard of it and a friend from Toronto turned me onto it, so I figured why not try it out, and it's great! Very funny and Jason Priestly (a Canuck don't-ya-know) is great as a morally bankrupt car salesman with mental problems/visions.

It really flew under the radar but lasted a few seasons and is well worth checking out!

Call me Fitz has been successful in pleasing me in every episode. I found the first couple episodes to be mildly slow, but very humorous. The real treat starts when you start to get to know the characters and how they act, the directors and the actors themselves do an amazing job in character development.

I'm currently following the 3rd season, and I can say without a reasonable doubt, that it is by far the best season yet. I can't wait for season 4! |

Check the show out! Crude adult humour! Genuine!
