The Michael Richards Show was a short-lived sitcom that debuted on NBC in 2000. The show starred Michael Richards (best known for his role as Kramer from the sitcom Seinfeld) as reality-challenged but successful private detective Vic Nardozza who gets the job done despite his unconventional methods.

[edit] History
Three-time Emmy Award winner Michael Richards reteams with three former Seinfeld writer/producers in this single-camera comedy caper as a private eye in Los Angeles.
When originally conceived, Richards wanted to differentiate his character from Kramer, the role he immortalized on Seinfeld. However, the network wanted the character to be more like his previous role. The network won the argument, and the end product was trashed in reviews and cancelled within two months due to poor ratings.
[edit] Show summary
The show is about Vic Nardozza (Michael Richards), a lanky and bumbly private investigator working for McKay Investigative Services. Throughout the show, misunderstandings and screw-ups get in the way of the cases, but Nardozza always ends up getting the job done.
