Tonight Show sidekick Andy Richter recently had some choice words for New York magazine's Vulture blog on the subject of NBC and TV comedy in general. The chat coincided with the DVD release of Andy Barker, P.I., created by Conan O'Brien and Jonathan Groff and starring Richter. Regarding any future projects, Richter told Vulture, ""Well, you know, I'm the announcer on The Tonight Show. That's enough for a while. Who knows what's gonna happen. Good God, with the network, and what's happening. I feel li  

I admit, I went into JJ Abrams' reboot of Star Trek (Paramount, Rated PG-13, Blu-Ray-$39.99 SRP) not wanting to like it, based on my less than enthusiastic view of Abrams' previous work and a healthy level of fondness for Trek (when it was done right - not in the crap Berman/Braga/ Voyager / Enterprise /latter-day films era). So yes, I had to be won over to the whole reboot-in-continuity thing, and I must say - overall, I *was* won over. I still think that wrapping it all in the flag of Nimoy's Spock was  

Bruno (2009, Universal, R, $30) Guerilla comic Sacha Baron Cohen ("Borat") goes undercover as the titular fashionista, a gay TV talk show host who arrives in the U.S. with hopes of becoming "the biggest Austrian superstar since Hitler." He pulls the wool over the eyes of politiciansand celebrities, tries to broker peace in the Middle East, and nearly incites a riot at a wrestling match. It's haphazard but occasionally hilarious.  

Andy Richter speaks surprisingly candidly about the state television comedy, "We just kind of have more stuff where the dad's kind of a jerk, the mom knows best, and everybody just kind of insults each other for half an hour…" Eddie Murphy is attached to a film with talking animals that is supposed to have some form of social commentary. My guess is that it will be an adaptation of Animal Farm , but instead it will be called Animal Farts . A bunch of comics we like made it onto this list of seventeen

Patty (101) won the movie and her kids will love it. I really recommend getting this DVD for your kids. My daughter and her four friends watched Aliens in the Attic and they loved it all.  

AS GOD is my witness I still have hard time sitting through "Gone With the Wind," the story of one of the most dysfunctional relationships in movie history. Frankly, my dear readers, the Rhett Butler-Scarlett O'Hara courtship — or, if you prefer, romance — at the heart of the Oscar-winning best picture is far too neurotic, creepy and just plain nuts for my tastes. Otherwise, it's the stuff of legend.  

This week marks the DVD release of the short-lived series Andy Barker, P.I. , created by Conan O'Brien and Jonathan Groff, and starring Andy Richter as a straight-laced CPA turned occasional private detective. With an all-star cast including Clea Lewis and Tony Hale (coming right out of Arrested Development ), it seemed that Andy Barker couldn't fail. But alas, it did.  

Andy Barker , P.I. was, by far, my favorite new series to premiere during the winter of 2007. Andy Richter's second foray into half-hour comedy was a hybrid comedy/mystery series, co-created by executive producers Conan O'Brien and Jonathan Groff. Although a critical darling, it only lasted six episodes before vanishing from the air.
