[edit] History
After his previous show Seinfeld stopped production, Michael Richards reteamed with three former Seinfeld writers/producers in a single-camera comedy caper about 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 disagreed and decided that character would share characteristics with his previous role.[citation needed] The show received generally negative reviews and was ultimately canceled within two months due to poor ratings.[citation needed]
[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.
