For a show that took a large number of other awards (if my memory serves this won 10 Golden Globe...nominations or awards, I don't recall which) I can't believe this was only put out to run for part of one season. It wasn't given much of a chance and frankly, I think it may have been over most of the viewing publics heads. And I'm not happy that it was put in a very difficult time slot and canceled quickly as it didn't have the opportunity to perform. A shame some other network couldn't have picked it up and ran with it, too.By the time this had any chance to develop a following, Heather Paige Kent had apparently already moved on to another show. Possibly others had as well. Such a shame as this was a funny AND intelligent show.However, why it is not on DVD yet is a mystery. There's a lotta junk put out there on DVD already from television's past, why not this one?

Everyone I know who has seen this show loved it. My husband and I both loved it. Stark Raving Mad was so much better than ANY sitcom the major networks have on now. How could it have been treated so badly? It upsets me that the networks keep tying to cram drivel down our throats when it is obvious we need something more. Did the network think the humor was too intellectual for the masses? I do not see any reason this show should have failed. I don't get it. It was brilliant. Now that the outlook for Thursday nights are so dismal, perhaps NBC will consider bringing the show back, giving it the promotion it deserves and providing us with some quality entertainment.

This is one of the best Comedy-Series of all times. Tony Shalhoub as writer Ian Stark is brilliant, also Neil Patrik Harris, star of "Dougie Howser", as his lector. The difference between both makes this comedy so funny. Don't miss it!

It's a shame this show only lasted like one season. I found it to be really funny. I like Tony Shalhoub in almost anything that he does, and he was great as an eccentric, more goofy version of Stephen King. He never fails to haul in the laughs, with his childish little pranks. And then we introduce his roommate: an anal retentive young man with obsessive compulsive disorder. A great combo! Neil Patrick Harris shows off his comic skills, as opposed to playing the serious doc on "Doogie Howser, M.D." I think Harris has a good head on his shoulders, and if he keeps up the good work, he can succeed in the biz. Hopefully, he will, because I don't want him to become another Macaulay Culkin. "Stark Raving Mad" was very funny, and hopefully they'll show the reruns on USA. As for Shalhoub and Harris, good luck in your future endeavors.
My score: 7 (out of 10)
