That’s right, Andy Richter Controls the Universe: The Complete Series is being released on DVD on 3/24. I say it’s about damn time. I loved this show and was so sad to see it canceled.

Nice, that show had some hilarious moments.

“Hi Wendy! Hi are you? I mean…fine!”

Thanks for the heads-up. I loved this show, especially Jonathan Slavin. I’ll put the DVD on my shelf next to all the other prematurely cancelled comedies: Greg the Bunny, Arrested Development, The Job, etc.

Damn network executives!

“You can’t call him ‘Black Andy’!”

“We are sick of your cost cutting. We want our cream back! And our forks, knives and spoons. No more sporks and spinknives and knifoons! It’s like a Dr. Seuss kitchen down there!”

Never should have been cancelled.  
Will _RUN_ out to get the DVD! (exactly one week after my birthday, I’ll have to ask for a Gift Certificate that I can use to this end)

Funny as H-E-double hockeysticks. I don’t know how long you could sustain that particular kind of humor, but I wish they could have had at least a full season.
