"Andy Richter" was a wonderful, all-too-short-lived TV series that followed the fictional "Andy" through his moribund work days--and, more often, through the frustrated writer's hilariously warped fantasy life--a sort of Walter Mitty on bad acid. Subversive and screamingly funny, "Andy Richter" was brilliantly conceived and sharply written, and the cast--from Richter himself to Paget Brewster, Irene Molloy, Jonathan Slavin and James Patrick Stuart--had tremendous chemistry and perfect comic timing. Like the live-action "The Tick" (another casualty of Fox's early 2000s "create brilliant shows and then slaughter them like rabid dogs" policy), "Andy Richter" was a postmodern delight that was gone too soon. One can only pray to the mighty disc gods for a DVD release.

AStarring: Andy Richter, Paget Brewster, and Irene Malloy.The mind of Andy Richter has many sides. It reminds me of 'A Christmas Carol'. It is the side of what happened to an event in the past, what thankfully didn't happen, and what could've happened. The show is hysterical, with multiple scenarios. Richter adds some excellent humor, and for some reason, it's funnier with no audience.Rank: Tied in 3rd (with "Friends")

Television is at an all time low, everyone is starved for even the essence of entertainment, and calling this charisma-free star and laugh-free sit-com anything approaching "brilliant" is a testament to that desperation. Bland banal pap that, for some reason, is dubbed "original" and "edgy."

This is a great show. I love the writing and the cast. I always laugh during the show. This is another great Fox series. Better than some crappy stuff Fox has on. So far Fox has made great, funny, witty comedy sitcoms but now they are cancelling them. Like Family Guy, Titus, Greg the Bunny. I mean cancell some shows that are getting old like King of the Hill, Grounded for Life (sorry to the people that like these shows) and mostly Fox's sitcoms never last long usually 2-3 seasons the only show that are still on the air and not old are The Simpsons, Malcolm in the Middle, that 70s show (in my opinoin) so i hope Fox doesnt throw away another good series, and i hope "Andy" stays on the air for a while.
