Nathan Dickson Missed the Universe
I consider myself a late bloomer, a late adopter, somewhat out-of-the-loop when it comes to television shows. It took me a few years to find Seinfeld, didn’t really get into Cheers until its last year, held off on Frasier until about year four or five and didn’t become a huge Roseanne fan until year four. I chalk up that lack of commitment to wanting a life apart from television. I’d rather watch a “proven” show than waste my time on crap. Unfortunately, because of this philosophy, I sometimes overlook the occasional gem that only lasts a season or two. Seinfeld, the most successful sitcom ever, barely made it past season two. I was doing some experimental television signal recording on my PowerMac G5 last night when Andy Richter Controls the Universe came on the regular HD.net station. After a few minutes of not really paying attention to what was recording, the show caught my eye and I started paying attention. Within about three minutes I had my first full-on thirty second gut-busting laugh. I was hooked and watch the rest of the show, which did not disappoint. How the hell did I miss this absolutely hiliarous show? How the hell did it only last eighteen episodes? Rather than attempt to persuade you with rhetoric, I submit for your approval the entire episode that I watched. This is the eighth episode, titled “Twins,” which originally aired on December 8, 2002 on the Fox Network. If you watch this, please email me to let me know what you think of it. As always, you will need Quicktime to watch this video.Posted by Nathan Dickson at August 16, 2005 06:58 AM

Great show. I had not seen it either. I liked the whistling buger the best.
