Looks like this is the end - but at least we'll get to see the Amy Sidaris episode on TV...

That's too bad, I think this show has potential.

I don't know, I read a lot about how this show was so brilliant and creative... but honestly, I didn't see too much of it in the episodes I watched (and I watched all 6 online.) I am a fan of Andy, I think he is inherently funny and just needs a venue to showcase himself properly. I just don't think this show was it.

I think I expected more from the people involved (Conan, Andy, and Buster Bluth) to bring me a really smart and funny show that raised the bar on the 30 min comedy show. But all too often it seemed, the show went predictable routes and went for some easy laughs. Not enough smarts for me to be compared to the likes of Arrested Development or the Office. The show kind of assumed it was funnier than it actually was... I just couldn't buy into it.

i think the pilot was okay (okay not great) but the episodes from then went downhill. i just watched the final back-to-back broadcasts and i'd never think a show produced by Conan O'Brien and starring Andy Richter could be THAT unfunny. the shows were entirely plot-driven and the plots were BORING. if these weren't the last episodes i'd stop watching anyways. better luck next time.

Pretty much sums it up for me. Sometimes, clever can make funny things funnier, but clever in and of itself is not inherently funny.

Too bad they couldn't bring back Andy Richter Controls the Universe. Now THAT was funny. And clever.

I really clicked with this show. I loved the way Andy brought a certain self-consciousness to the ridiculousness of what surrounded him.

"My name is Andy Barker, and I may have watched!"

I thought it was pretty funny, though I did expect better from a show associated with Conan.

according to imdb news:


WOW. it's probably exaggeration (sp?) but... wow

 

[TonyD]

this show was a dissapointment for me.

not funny.
like the guy who thinks he's funny but no one else does.

seemed very amateurish to me.

i dont know just didnt click for me.

so far only controls the universe has been good.

 

[Phil Taylor]

I'm sad to see it go - I liked that show - it was amusing and kinda campy/different.

 

[Garrett Adams]

I found it quite entertaining.

 

[JohnS]

I watched the last two episodes, and was quite disappointed by them.

I only really liked one episdoe, and that was episode #4

sad it didn't go further though
