My rating: 7.5/10
Will I watch it again? Yes.
Andy Richter is a pleasant fellow and I've heard nothing but great things about his other short-lived show, ANDY RICHTER SAVES THE UNIVERSE (2002), so I figured I'd start with this one since it only lasted six episodes. Don't let the short run fool you, though, because it's VERY funny. I don't know why it was cancelled so quickly but it shouldn't have been. The recurring cast is great (especially Hareve Presnell who has the best dialogue as a gruff ex-cop) and the series is loaded with guest stars like Nestor Carbonell, Kim Coates, Sven-Ole Thorsen, Edward Asner, Ben Falcone, James Hong, David Huddleston, Traci Lords and Amy Sedaris and they're all funny. The show is odd enough to attract and keep that certain viewer like me but it's ultimately all about the humor and that works well. I wouldn't mind knowing what killed it but at least there are six episodes to enjoy.
