Richard hurts himself by falling off the treadmill while he is admiring the women at the health club. He calls a therapeutic masseuse, Wendy, whose number he finds on a flyer at the club, to help heal from his accident. Wendy has just moved to New York from Seattle, and Richard falls for her and shows her around the city. Tommy wants Richard to go on a double date with him and twin dental hygienists, but ends up going alone and pulls his shoulder when they tie him down with unwaxed cinnamon dental floss. Paige gets set up on a blind date (with a married man) by a fellow sportswriter. Rich gets jealous and over reacts when his friends start getting massages from Wendy. The problem is resolved when Wendy moves back to Seattle because she does not like the NY coffee. Richard makes pasta primavera on his show.

Synopsis

Platypus Man is an American sitcom that aired on UPN in 1995. Starring comedian Richard Jeni, the television series was based on an hour-long HBO special of Jeni's filmed in 1992. The series lasted for only one season, with a total of thirteen episodes. Platypus Man premiered January 23, 1995. The concept of a "Platypus Man", the concept of a "cooking show for guys" and the scenes involving the main character's social life were drawn from Jeni's stand-up routines. The show, paired with Pig Sty, followed Star Trek: Voyager on UPN's Monday schedule. Both Pig Sty and Platypus Man were canceled in July 1995.

Reviews

Hank Lewis I never missed an episode of this show. It was EXTREMELY FUNNY! All the romantic woes of Richard's characters attempts to mate frequently, but spending most of his time alone were a source of great laughter for me and my then girlfriend. I hope that it comes out on DVD soon.One of my favorite episodes had to do with the woman he was dating that turned out to have a female lover on the side and was bisexual! I laughed at it because I actually had that experience in real life before and found his response to it very amusing, and so typically neurotic of the Platypus man!!!!Meanwhile, Richard Jeni's apparent suicide makes this posting rather sad now... He will be greatly missed by his many fans....
Luckysmine Believe it or not, this was one of the first shows on the then-newly formed UPN network. I watched this show when I was a kid, and I found it to be funny in that goof-ball kind of way, with the kind of jokes that anybody would get. I was really sad when it didn't come back the next season. Richard Jeni was pretty funny in this role. And ever since the show...that's what I call him. The Platypus Man.And now that I think about it...I can't really think of any other good shows on UPN (besides my beloved "Moesha," which has been canceled). Sure, this show was probably destined to be canceled, but I think it would have had a good 2-3 year run.
