This midseason comedy, from the makers of "Late Night With Conan O'Brien," follows Andy Barker -- a certified public accountant who has succeeded in almost everything he's tried, except his new accounting business, which fails to take off. One day, Andy is mistaken by a beautiful stranger for the retired private detective who used to occupy his office; deciding to give fate a chance, he takes the case. Andy's supportive wife Jen isn't exactly sold on this new turn of events, until she sees the boost it's provided to Andy's self confidence. Joining the newly-minted P.I. during his investigations are the eccentric neighbors that inhabit his office building.

Troy Patterson The New Yorker 05/09/2020
If Jeff Lebowski were not a shaggy stoner of uncertain employment but rather a C.P.A. with a round head and square personality, he would be Barker, played by Andy Richter in this 2007 sitcom. Go to Full Review Stephen M. Deusner Washington Post 10/02/2019
At times, that doughy affability threatens to become a punchline, but [Andy] Richter draws it out just enough to be funny without being distracting. Go to Full Review Emily St. James Slant Magazine 10/02/2019
Andy Barker's no 30 Rock, but it's not as bad as the premise suggests it would be, and that's no small feat. Go to Full Review Ed Bark Uncle Barky 10/02/2019

Absent a laugh track and filmed in wide screen, Andy Barker fits the overall blueprint of latter day NBC comedies. But it's just not as smartly funny as The Office, My Name Is Earl, Scrubs or the series it's subbing for. Go to Full Review Barrett Hooper NOW Toronto 10/02/2019
The cases [Andy] Barker tackles during this six-episode trial run are well-mined for laughs. Go to Full Review Columbus Alive Staff Columbus Alive 10/02/2019
It's all insane and unrealistic, and it contributes to the zany fun. Go to Full Review Read all reviews
