The Michael Richards Show

I watched the show when it was out and was disappointed. I think Michael Richards has a talent for physical comedy and as a fan of Seinfeld, figured I would give it a try. I don't really remember specifically why I did not like it.

I do remember one funny episode where they had a racist dog that kept trying to get away from Tim Meadows and kept getting injured in the process.

Though given the current revelations about Michael Richard's racist outburst this episode is probably a lot less funny now.

That's really all I can think of to say. I think brevity should be valued. How about a five line minimum to just weed out the "it sucked" comments?

It was okay. It had lots of potential. I think they should have called it something other than "The Michael Richards Show" and maybe didn't have one main charactar, like Friends (which doesn't have any one main charactar, but focuses on all the cast) It would have been done quite successfully. Because it really was funny, but had too many flaws. Oh well :(

I expected to see a lot more from the series premiere of the Michael Richards show. All of the actors, who are all quite seasoned, did a very shabby job. Especially Mr.Devane. Tim Meadows also didn't give us much in the way of a character, just a lot of meaningless lines. And Mr.Richards himself- I was quite disappointed, he wasn't funny, he tried to be and failed, which is the worst type! To me the writing is one punchline after the other, but the most irritating part of the whole show was the very loud and very untimely laugh tracks. I will continue to watch, praying that it gets better.

Watched this recently on YouTube; it was only Richards rehashing his Kramer mannerisms with lousy scripts and a supporting cast that looks like they were held hostage at gunpoint. Richards' "Seinfeld" reputation must have been the only reason this horribly written show made it to air; it seems like two failed pilots would have given NBC a clue as to what they were in for. Awful.

Don't listen to the negative Nancy's, this show is fun and at least worth checking out once (plus it won't take you very long being that there are only 8 episodes). Michael Richards is great in this, and not too far off at all from Kramer, which I think was a wise choice not to change what works and makes people laugh about his natural humor. The other characters are okay, and the writing is decent, but it certainly has the feeling of a show that wouldn't be around for very long, and it definitely reminds one of similar shows that didn't take and had a bit of a rushed feeling to them, like Norm Macdonald's show 'Norm', which was fortunate enough to get 3 seasons. Without Kramer Seinfeld would have never hit the stratosphere level that it did, and The Michael Richard's Show showcases some of what made Cosmo Kramer everyone's favorite Seinfeld character and had, and still has, them laughing out loud at his silly, yet brilliant, antics.
