KnotMissPriceless Why so much hype?

StunnaKrypto Self-important, over-dramatic, uninspired.

Brenda The plot isn't so bad, but the pace of storytelling is too slow which makes people bored. Certain moments are so obvious and unnecessary for the main plot. I would've fast-forwarded those moments if it was an online streaming. The ending looks like implying a sequel, not sure if this movie will get one

Bolesroor Can someone please explain to me why this show was greeted with so much hostility? Everyone in America ostensibly loved the character of Kramer on "Seinfeld," the number one show on TV when it ended in 1998. When "The Michael Richards Show" premiered two seasons later, critics and viewers were waiting with bibs on and knives raised... they called it "horrible," "terrible," and refused to watch it. With that type of public sentiment its no surprise the show only lasted seven episodes."The Michael Richards Show" was good... sometimes great. I loved him from his brilliant physicality on Seinfeld but before that as retarded janitor Stanley Spadowski in "UHF" and as the Bow-Tie Killer in "Problem Child." TMRS featured not only Richards and a colorful ensemble cast but- best yet- the writers from "Seinfeld"! (Including Spike Feresten, Gregg Kavet & Andy Robin) Sure, Richards was basically playing Kramer but the premise of him as a private detective allowed him to get into a wide variety of physical and comical jams. The writing was always smart, never cheap sitcom humor, and like Seinfeld every episode featured multiple story lines. In one episode the elderly Bill Cobb is particularly mean to Tim Meadows... when Meadows asks Richards for advice Richards informs him that Cobb has "death grumpiness," an ailment that all old people get just before they die. Meadows goes through the rest of the episode treating Cobb like a fragile baby, telling him how much he loves him and how much he's going to miss him. The old crank, of course, has no idea what's going on. It was hilarious.Was TMRS television's greatest product? No. Should the show have gone on another 8 seasons? Never. Was it a funny and intelligent series that deserved better treatment from fans and critics? Absolutely. If they release the DVD you'll see what I mean.GRADE: B+

kyrat 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?

shrek2004 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 :(

mohrandy My wife and I loved this show. I thought it was absolutely hysterical, and Tim Meadows shined here as well (compared to his mundane SNL stint). I'm saddened to hear that the show was cancelled. It was a terrific sitcom, very funny and very smart.
