Now this makes me a happy happy boy. I don't know how many of you out there saw this series but former Conan O'Brien sidekick Andy Richter left that show to pursue his solo career as a comedian. What resulted was this TV sitcom that was as absurd and surreal as it was hilarious. The show was about a lowly office worker who gets through the day dreaming about the object of his affection and his interaction with coworkers. Trust me it's funnier than I describe it. Sadly viewers didn't think so and the show only lasted a scant 19 episodes spread over 2 "seasons". Plus it was on Fox so....
The website tvshowsonDVD.com reports today that the show will finally make its appearance on DVD on March 24th and will include all the episodes in one set. No idea if there will be any extras but I doubt it.
Finally I can watch this genius show again and ogle Paget Brewster and Irene Molloy while I'm at it.
Check out the youtubed pilot after the break.

That is great news! This show had its share of inspired moments. I remember reading Richter's story of how the show came together. The network had a deal to have him star in a sitcom. They asked him, "So kind of dad will your character be?" "Dad?," he asked. "I don't want to be a sitcom dad." "Okay, then what kind of office do want to work in?" One or the other, that's TV for you. So it went...
Viva Andy!!
Yes! Been waiting for this for a long time. Definitely more subversive than appearances would have you believe. Great ensemble, too.
