There are four completely unrelated reasons for me to write about Andy Richter Controls the Universe today. 1.) The complete 19-episode series is finally coming out on DVD tomorrow. 2.) Andy Richter is re-teaming with Conan O'Brien on the new Tonight Show starting next month. 3.) Show creator Victor Fresco recently debuted his new office comedy, Better Off Ted. 4.) ARCTU may very well be the best TV show that has ever aired on television. Ever. Better than Airwolf, even! ARCTU is like a perfect storm in a bottle, if that's even a metaphor. This kind of magic could only have happened once, with all of the right factors in place, and of course, no one watched it. Fresco would go on to create the awful series Life on a Stick, and Andy Richter would go on to star in the execrable Quintuplets and the mediocre Andy Barker, P.I., the latter of which lasted all of four episodes before getting rightly canceled. But for one glorious moment, the two teamed up, and with a highly talented cast of regulars and guest stars, they created TV gold. Let's look at that cast, shall we?
