    It's as quirky, original and funny a comedy as "Universe."

    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.

    Everything about "Andy Barker"... is lovingly created. And there are some laughs, but the show fails to truly catch fire.

    What do you get when you take Monk, take away the charm, the quirky main character, and the chemistry? Andy Barker, P.I. Stupidity-driven humor, poorly written scenarios, irritating characters, the works. Maybe the episode I saw was just a really terrible one, but it was completely devoid of entertainment value.… Expand
