    Tragically cancelled. Why don't they want Andy Richter to do well? "Andy Barker" was good, too. I am not a natural fan of his---I never saw him on Conan--but loved these two shows.

    A terrific, unique, intelligent comedy. Unfortunately, it appealed to an audience with too high an IQ for the advertiser's liking. Too many brain deads saying "I, uh, don't get it"

    If you enjoy off the wall, unique, non-canned laughter comedy, this was very good and MUCH above the average crud on the toob. Had a few problems, but the overall quirkiness, to me anyhow, was very enjoyable.

    Oh, I was so sad this show got canceled. This comedy was brilliant, fresh, and offbeat. For awhile I was hoping it would come back, that whoever made the decision to pull it would see the huge error they made. This was almost in a similar vein of offbeat comedy to Scrubs or Oliver Beene.

    My wife and I liked Andy Richter from his Conan O'Brien days. Andy Richter Controls the Universe was witty and had an edge to it. It was for more creative than most of the dreck sitcoms out of there. Each character was funny intheir own way. I especially liked Andy's hilariously skanky female boss. Being a technical writer myself, I could relate to Andy. We were surprised to see it go off the air. I guess FOX needed the timeslot for such must-see TV as The Swan, Playing it Straight, a William Hung special, or Animals-vs-Humans 792: The Armageddon.

    Loved the show. Too bad something so good had to change time slots so no one could find it.

    Underappreciatred great comedy. Weird in a funny way. I cared about his character. Much better than, say, "Less Than Perfect."

    Are you kidding me? How can anyone call this piece of junk comedy? The one time I actually watched it, I was almost brought to tears by how boring it was ! UGH !

    This show can be really funny, but sometimes it's not. I have to at least give it an okay rating though, because I loved Andy on Conan, and the guest appearance by Conan was hilarious!

    Well, This show was good while it lasted, but unfortunately was cancelled. I am surprised though, because Fox DID actually give this show a chance to find its audience, it was just unfound though.

    Hilarious, original, intelligent... it's all been said here except that the cast is wonderful and the stories are real lampoon, not like SNL.

    I loved this show. It combined clever writing with a sometimes subtle, intellectual humor. For all the pundits out there, you have to be smarter than the couch you're sitting on to understand it.

    Save this show. FOX is gutless but will respond to pressure.

    This is the only new sitcom in recent memory that's brought anything original and fresh to the stagnant old formula. Each of the characters has more to offer than the usual stereotypes, the casting is excellent, and the writing is golden. Plus, the show provides a long-neglected window into the exciting and lucrative technical writing profession.

    This show is brilliant! It's well-acted, well-paced, and very cleverly written. The characters are perfectly cast. The show is funny on so many levels. Fox has a real winner here if they have the sense to recognize quality and let it find its audience. But I haven't seen it on in a while, so I hope they haven't cancelled it. It's one of the best shows on TV...

    Such a wonderful, funny, witty sitcom. Too bad it looks like it's cancelled in place of even more reality show crap.Why can't the networks give decent TV shows a chance these days?

    Brilliant! Especially compared with "Friends" which is garbage. Actually Frazier is junk, too. I like Seinfeld and Andy Richter. Thats it.

    This is a great show. I have to admit that I thought season one to be a little funnier than season 2 so far, althought episode 201 was purely amazing. Keep it Andy! You rule...the universe.

    Good show. Love the episode where the hot piece is a bigot. Hope to see another season of this. Who would have thought this guy's career would go anywhere after he left Co-nan?

    I only saw one episode, but it was hilarious. I need to catch some more to be sure about this rating, but I'll tell you one thing, we got some "non-Fox" network people putting their ratings in here.

    Great ! Richter's mind is perverse, honest, and basically funny. I hope this show stays on for a long time.

    Richter was excellent on "The Conan O Brian Show", but makes a total fool of himself in this unfunny show. A waste of his comedic talents.

    I think this show is just hilarious! The acting, writing, timing, etc. are great. I hope this one stays around for awhile. It's nice to have some intelligent shows on TV.
