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

    The show is equal parts silliness and satire.

    This amusing series is likely to leave you smiling rather than guffawing.

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

    This show was so great... Bring it back NBC!!! Andy Richter's acting plus the writing of Conan O'Brien. This was amazing.

    Good stuff. The episode with the chickens was hilarious. Other than that one I didn't laugh out loud that much, but the show is charming, funny, witty, and pleasant to watch. More than I can say about most sitcoms on TV.… Expand

    Simply not nearly as funny as "Contorls the Universe". I like the fact that it is different from your typical sitcom and it tries to be original, which it is. It just is not very funny.… Expand

    Just not that funny. Clever at times, but I just don't find myself laughing all that much. I find myself saying... Oh that was clever and smiiling, but there it never pulls that big laugh out of me. No comparison to say Wedding Bells as far as recent releases are concerned.… Expand
