The Michael Richards Show is a 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

After his previous show, Seinfeld, stopped production, Michael Richards reteamed with three former Seinfeld writers/producers in a 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 canceled within two months due to poor ratings.[citation needed]

In early 2006, some rumors were spread saying that Michael Richards was going back to work on the show. Rumors stopped when Richards had a racist outburst at the famous comedy club the Laugh Factory.

[edit] Show summary

The show is about Vic Nardozza (Michael Richards), a lanky and clumsy 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.
