Call Me Fitz crude, classy, curiously Canadian

From Michael Simpson of Cinemaspy.com:

  • Call Me Fitz has Crudity, Class and Something Curiously Canadian
    There is a quirkiness about Canadian sitcoms that makes them different from their US cousins in a way that is hard to pin down. That kind of quirkiness abounds in Call Me Fitz, an adult comedy on HBO Canada and recently released on DVD by eOne about a used car salesman who finds himself partnered with his conscience made-flesh after a car accident.

Review: Call Me Fitz season 1 DVD

From David Voigt of the Examiner:

  • Review-Call Me Fitz: Season 1
    Priestley makes the role work for him, as the unlikeable hustler who is actually kind of likeable as he is surrounded by a motley cast of characters who actually like him despite the horrible barbs that fly back and forth between them all. Ernie Grunwald as his conscience works pretty well as his straight man and the entire cast has some genuine charm and do manage to generate some laughs, however some are genuine and some are a little forced.

Call Me Fitz no poster child for used car salesmen

From Warren Clements of the Globe and Mail:

  • A used-car salesman and his conscience do comic battle
    Pity the average used-car dealer. He tries to make a decent living selling previously owned cars and is painted in popular allusion after popular allusion as an underhanded, untrustworthy, conscience-free crook. Now along comes the dark Canadian sitcom Call Me Fitz, in which the anti-hero, a used-car dealer, is an underhanded, untrustworthy crook. The difference is that Richard Fitzpatrick (Jason Priestley, once of Beverly Hills, 90210) has a conscience. Sort of. Despite his best efforts. Read more.
