From CanMag: Andy Barker, P.I. is a return to television for many underdog favorites. Star Andy Richter gets another chance to prove he can make it on his own, and Arrested Development's Tony Hale bounces back from the loved but unwatched show. Hale wasn't hesitant to get back on the TV horse.
"To go from a fantastic group of people to another fantastic group, that’s a huge blessing," said Hale. "I’ve got a mortgage and a baby and all actors want to work. I’m thankful to have been put with another smart, great group of people." More... |

Andy Barker has been on (on NBC) for about three weeks now, and stars Tony Hale ("Buster"), as well as (of course) repeat AD guest star Andy Richter. Here's a (deservedly) positive review:
There's no accounting for taste. In some quarters, the idea of Andy Richter returning to TV as a crime-solving accountant is likely to be met with a shrug. But for fans of sitcoms in general, and of Richter's work in particular — from his run on Late Night With Conan O'Brien to his late, lamented sitcom Andy Richter Controls the Universe— it's cause for celebration indeed. Granted, this new Andy may not be as inventive or subversive as Universe, but it is just as funny and probably a bit more accessible. Full review

USA Today: Arnett & Poehler sittin' in a tree l-a-u-g-h-i-n-g |
