It is rare that a show completely escapes my radar, especially scripted series, but somehow I never knew that Manhattan, AZ, a comedy that aired on the USA Network in 2000, existed until today. Thanks to the wonder of the internet this short lived series, which had eight episodes, lives again for those of us who missed it (which I'm guessing was pretty much everyone.) This dry comedy is a little hard to describe. Basically Daniel Henderson (Played by Brian McNamara, who you may know from such shows as Army Wives and so many guest starring roles I can't even begin to type) stars as an undercover transvestite cop, who heads out of the big city to become a small-town sheriff after his wife dies in a diving accident. There's potential aliens, a very disturbing funeral, a son with a weight problem, pets with missing legs, oh, and Mindy Sterling (love her!). The best part of the entire episode though is the PSA at the end about how now animals were harmed during the making this. Brilliant. Anyway, check out this lost "gem" for yourself and get a laugh or two... its at least something to keep you entertained this summer.
