The Best Show...That You May Never See

In 2002 Fox released one of the best shows I have ever seen, Andy Richter Controls the Universe. This was a goofy sitcom starring Andy Richter, Conan O'Brien's longtime co-host. The show was all about Andy, a technical manual writer who aspired to more. This was an office comedy, but kicked up a level.

Richter narrated his thought process and there were numerous imagination scenes, leading to some great laughs. One of my favorite scenes is when Andy fantasizes about what he will do with a large sum of money. He wants a new TV for his bedroom. You see...he already has one at the foot of his bed, but he wants one on the left side so he can flip over and watch that one too. But then, he realizes that that might not work either, because he would need one on the right side too!

It's great stuff. There are all sorts of great clips on YouTube, but it has still not been released on DVD. It ran for two whole seasons, and only 19 episodes, but it's a travesty that we can' watch this show whenever we want! Darn it!

Here is a Best of YouTube Clip, watch it and enjoy:



Also, go to Amazon and sign up for the Alert so you'll be notified when it is finally available. Plus, the more people to sign up, the more likely it will actually come out someday.
