Bad NBC!! Bad!!
“Andy Barker, P.I.” the best sitcom on network TV, has gotten the axe.
Terrible decision. The brainchild of Conan O’Brien and his former head writer, “Barker” is actually the best sitcom we’ve seen in years. Yes, it struggled in the ratings against behemoths like “CSI” and “Grey’s Anatomy,” but what wouldn’t?
More than any other sitcom on the air, the consistently hilarious “Barker,” in my view, was NBC’s best shot at a building a sleeper franchise, another “Cheers” or “Seinfeld.”

I love Conan O’Brien’s new sitcom “Andy Barker, P.I.” Really love it. Every episode makes me laugh aloud, often several times per installment, which is rare. I think it rivals “The Office” as perhaps best current live-action sitcom on the network grid.
And I was excited last week to direct Ain't It Cool readers to nbc.com, which was streaming all six episodes well in advance of tonight's premiere.
The reaction in talkback?
“The jokes are played out and stereotypical of bad tv writing” – talkbacker “Outrider304”
