All I know is, on "Controls the Universe," when Andy walked into work one day, saw Wendy and started daydreaming about how to greet her (Hi, How are you, etc), and then, back to reality, walked up to her and said "Wendy, Hi are you?" it was one of the funniest things I ever heard, and me and a buddy quote it to this day.
Bring on more.

ANDY BARKER, P.I. (NBC) - Clea Lewis (Audrey Penney on "Ellen") has joined the cast of the midseason comedy. She'll take over for Amy Farrington as Jen Barker, the wife of Andy Richter's character. No reason for the change was given. Harve Presnell, Ion Overman, Marshall Manesh and Tony Hale also star in the half-hour, which comes from creators Conan O'Brien and Jonathan Groff.

Awesome to see Tony Hale's name attached to this.

And Andy Richter + FOX = cancelation. Hasn't he learned yet?
Besides Married with Children, what is the longest-running (non-animated) sitcom FOX has ever had?

What is the status of this show? It's still listed as a midseason replacement at NBC:

But for what season? Anyone? Bueller?

This was posted in another thread, but thought I'd also post it here in case people search for "Andy Barker"

You can watch the first six episodes on NBC.com right now in their entirety:

I haven't checked it out yet, but there you go. Why in the world would they just give away so many episodes? I could understand them putting the pilot online, but the first six episodes?

Did anyone watch tonight? What did you think? I think (hope) Andy can do better than this.

I didn't particularly enjoyed the episode last night. I think the only two time I chuckled was when Andy's wife asked him if he was taking drugs and when the doll recorder spits out the line by Sandra Bullock in Miss Congeniality.
I miss 30 Rock.
