This embarrassment of riches isn't necessarily an embarrassment, but it's not the slam dunk it should be, either.
We pay close attention to Sit Down, Shut Up, an occasionally quite funny but largely anodyne animated comedy beginning Sunday on Fox, because it comes from the pen of Mitchell Hurwitz, creator of “Arrested Development."

I Have Only Seen 2 Ep's And What I Saw Of "Sit Down, Shut Up" Was Good... The Show Is Funny, Very Good Voice Acting.. Once In A While The Jokes Seem "Crude"...
Overall This Is A Good Show... But Of Corse You Wont See More Of It Since It Was Canceled....

SEASON 1
Bateman and Arnett make the most of what they're given, but Sit Down, Shut Up seems to be caught up in actually trying to have a plot and then partly tossing off zany one-liners (with a focus on anatomy).
The show that premieres Sunday night, between "The Simpsons" and "Family Guy" in the space formerly occupied by "King of the Hill," is weak--not hopeless, but given the pedigree, heavily disappointing.
If you want to get away with being offensive on TV, you have to be awfully funny, and Sit Down gets much closer to "awful" than it ever does to "funny."
Fox is plopping the series into its Sunday-night animation pit starting this weekend, with executives presumably hoping the audience won't notice that it isn't any good and will numbly sit through it.
Staleness, however, ranks as a virtue in Sit Down, Shut Up, for the show's token stabs at topicality are truly appalling.
Not What You Would Want In A Animated Show..
Sit Down Shut Up Tries So Hard To Be Funny, But Sadly Is Not...
I Do Like The Animation Style..
I Think In Bits This Show Is Ok...
