Post Mortem – Dice

After 2 seasons of poor ratings, Showtime decided to officially pull the plug on Dice in January.  The series portrayed the flamboyant comedian as an unemployed, struggling comic in the Vegas suburbs trying to be a loving father, a devoted boyfriend and a professional gambler.

If this series did anything, it showed another side to the one-note comic who was hilariously funny when I first discovered him in high school, but who quickly fell out of favor for more diverse and interesting comics.  If Andrew could ever truly put the Dice persona behind him, he might have found more success over his career.
