For all of the people out there who loved _Andy Richter Controls the Universe_ (as I did), I just saw a commercial on Fox that said the season premiere will be on next Sunday (I think) at 9:30/8:30 central. ---

Is it the same show as before? ---

[TV Tome](http://www.tvtome.com/AndyRichterControlstheUniverse/guide.html) has a description of this episode. Sounds pretty similar. I’ll be there. I think. ---

Aw…I thought you meant that he was coming back to Conan. Oh well… ---

Same show as last season - the commercial looked the same. ---

He’s gonna be a guest on Conan sometime this week. Monday, I think. I’m too lazy to look it up. ---

Not sure if its really the same show, as the commercial i saw only called it “Andy Richter”, and not “Andy Richter Controls the Universe”… ---

The Fox web site has it as “Andy Richter Controls the Universe”. I really enjoyed the 6 episodes or so that were shown last year. ---

That’s pretty cool. I still smile when I think about that episode where he dated the Anti-Semite. That episode was classic. ---

The commercials I saw last night said “all new episode” Brian ---

I was amazed at how _long_ that commercial was! They’re really pushing this show this time. ---

It’s about fricking time they brought that show back. Any word on when the three unaired episodes from last season will show up? “It’s like a Doctor Seuss kitchen in there!” ---

I’m excited, since it’s coming back on I’m going to try to get other people watching it by having a “maraton” of last season’s episodes. I can only find 5 out of the 6 episodes though, and have high hopes that I’ll figure out which tape the second episode is on. **Alzarian** an article I read this summer about its return noted the name change, so it is the same show. Funny thing though, the show wasn’t supposed to be back on until January, so I guess FOX decided that “the Grubbs” sounded as dumb as I did, and decided to ditch it before the first episode. Yay!!
