The Return of Conan and Andy...
I think Conan O’Brien and Andy Richter are truly a great comic duo.
So when I heard the two were re-teaming for a new television show (Andy as star, Conan as Executive Producer and creator), I was pretty excited. I just wish I was still as excited after watching it.
That’s not to say that “Andy Barker, P.I.” isn’t funny, it’s just not as hilarious as I would’ve expected…
One day, a woman comes into the office and mistakenly thinks Andy is the former tenant, private eye, Lew Staziak (Harve Presnell). Needing the money to pay the rent, Andy decides to take the case. With Simon and Wally’s help, he ends up getting himself in way over his head but manages to save the day—with his accounting skills—and decides that being a P.I. might be exactly what he needs.
You might be disappointed with the pilot too, but I say give the show time—or at least the six weeks NBC is giving it. I think it will be worth your effort.
“Andy Barker, P.I.” premieres Thursday, March 15th at 9:30 p.m. on NBC…
