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. |
