Andy Barker, P.I., had more laugh-out loud moments in its first four episodes than an entire season of most sitcoms, yet it somehow didn't manage to crack NBC's otherwise solid Thursday night line-up. I thought it was right up there with "My Name is Earl" in the wacky characters being driven by the well-meaning namesake of the show. It's a shame the networks don't give these gems a chance to build a following, and it can't have been that expensive to produce.
