andy barker p. i. be an anemic private eye spoof that just make you miss the real deal and a show like sledge hammer . and all the more . barker try to mix the hammer blend of actual and legitimate mystery and crime plot along with slapstick and comedy and but the problem lie in the fact that the lousy writing be funny and the plot be stale and the main character be bland and benign without a decent comic attitude . you can go on you tube and find unsold pilot that be much funny than this tripe that somehow make it on the air . perhaps it be just schedule to make conan obrien happy and who be admittedly a clever comic force ( see lookwell ) . andy barker p. i. be forget already and would not even qualify a a trivia question in a few month .
