Head Case

For those of you who don't have the premium cable channels, you don't know what you're missing. Besides the obvious choices, like The Sopranos or The L Word, there's a ton of other, lesser publicized shows, that are out there, that are just as good, or better. One of those is the new series, Head Case, starring Alexandra Wentworth.

The series is pretty simple, Alexandra plays the therapist to the stars, the premise alone lends itself to comedy, but add Steve Landesberg as the therapist across the hall and you've got yourself something really funny! The first episode features Jason Priestly as Ali's patient, and the episode is spent suggesting that Jason is gay, and they've even got Jason in a dress and wig!!

While the show is fairly short, episode clock in at around 15 minutes or so, it's perfect for those of us with short attention spans, and, now that we've got the wonders of 'on demand' technology, we can watch as many episodes as we want, and I've watched everything that they've got on there! I'm giving Head Case four out of four cigars,

because this is a great premise executed in a great way! The improv feel of the show really gives this an almost documentary feel, and adds to the believeablity of the show, which makes it just that much funnier! So, until next time, when I'll tell you about the diagnosis of low frustration tolenance that I was given by a psychiatric professional and how long I yelled at her about it, remember that the best movies are bad movies!
