Granted, this new Andy may not be as inventive or subversive as Universe, but it is just as funny and probably a bit more accessible.
88
It's as quirky, original and funny a comedy as "Universe."

Andy Barker isn't as complete a comedy as Andy Richter Controls the Universe — the first three episodes feel like a series of very funny bits that have been welded together. But so did 30 Rock when it first started, and that's now the best comedy on TV.
80
This amusing series is likely to leave you smiling rather than guffawing.

With all the crazy gags, pitch-perfect dialogue and a fresh hero at the center, it’s hard not to see “Andy Barker” as the spiritual successor to “Police Squad!”.
80
Nerdy sweetness and deep silliness flow effortlessly from Andy Richter.
80
It's hard to convey all the ways that this tightly directed show goes right: quietly observant character detail, solid sleuthing, play-it-straight absurdity and sneaky "Airplane!"-style parody riffs.
80
The show could be almost too funny to be appreciated on normal television, in the same way "Arrested [Development]" was.
80
The show is equal parts silliness and satire.

What it lacks in edge, it makes up for in charm.
