Stark Raving Mad is an American sitcom television series that aired on NBC from September 23, 1999, to July 13, 2000.
Shalhoub stars as odd horror novelist Ian Stark, who is obsessed with practical jokes, and whose first book Below Ground was a best seller.
Neil Patrick Harris is Stark's reluctant editor Henry McNeeley, who has a variety of phobias and possibly obsessiveācompulsive disorder.
On January 10, 2000, the sitcom won a People's Choice Award for Favorite New Television Comedy Series.
The sitcom premiered on September 23, 1999, and was officially cancelled by NBC on April 15, 2000, despite being ranked 19th among all programs with an average of 15.5 million viewers,[1] as it held poor retention rates from its lead-in, Frasier, and was consistently beaten by Who Wants to Be a Millionaire?
