Stark Raving Mad (1999) Archive Collection

A neurotic book editor is paired with an eccentric writer.

Type A obsessive met nut case in this oil-and-water sitcom. Henry ( Neil Patrick Harris) was a fastidious, germophobic book editor who was constantly rubbing his hands with an antiseptic; he had been assigned by his publisher to look after eccentric horror writer Ian ( Tony Shalhoub), whose first book, Below Ground, had been a best seller but who was facing writer's block in producing a second.

Ian was the kind who cleaned his teeth with a sword and loved staging dark and scary practical jokes, particularly on jittery Henry. Jake ( Eddie McClintock) was Ian's dazed assistant, and Maddie ( Heather Paige Kent) the sensible barkeep in the restaurant below Ian's big New York loft, where he sometimes sang in a rock band. Tess (Dorie Barton) was Henry's girlfriend. Edgar the hyperractive dog was played by "Marty."

In some countries the series was renamed: Stark, loco de atar (Spain), Männer ohne Nerven (Germany), Splitter Pine Gal (Norway), Kreisi kynäniekka (Finland) and "En förläggares mardröm" (Sweden).
