I'm surprised it lasted 2 weeks. The commercial for the pilot episode was stupid.

It does seem that the networks started their new fall season programs earlier this year.

Previous recent years had many of the 'new season' programs starting in mid to late October.

The worst thing about the beginning of the football season is having to endure the tons of commercials for all these stupid new shows.

Will they be releasing the entire season on DVD? They should just need one of those small 8 cm DVDs.

Unbelievably stupid premise. And not a funny one at that. At least it had the requisite caricature about stupid overpaid lawyers.

What Fox has to say about the show on their web site http://www.fox.com/headcases/

Sorry, you have arrived at a page that is no longer available.

The site is constantly being updated and improved and old pages are always being replaced with new ones. We apologize for the inconvenience.

Bwahahahahaha! Have they removed the producer's name from the office directory yet?

With the "never before seen episodes" that were probably already filmed.

Does seem a bit lame out of the box:


Head Cases

Bill Chais (“The Practice,” “Family Law”) created this comedic drama starring Chris O’Donnell (“Scent of a Woman”) as attorney JASON PAYNE, whose superstar career at a prestigious Los Angeles law firm backfired when his wife, LAURIE (Krista Allen, “Unscripted”), kicked him out of the house and, to make a bad day even worse, he had a nervous breakdown. After three months at a “wellness center,” Jason found himself with no job, no place to live and no support system. Enter SHULTZ (Adam Goldberg, “A Beautiful Mind,” “Saving Private Ryan”), an unkempt, unpredictable sufferer of explosive disorder, assigned to be outpatient “buddies” with Jason by their mutual therapist, DR. ROBINSON (Rockmond Dunbar, “Soul Food”). A low-rent lawyer who usually represents deviants and petty criminals, Shultz eagerly latches onto a very reluctant Jason, inserting himself in all aspects of Jason’s personal and professional life. The intrusion is the last thing Jason needs, preoccupied as he is with trying to re-establish a relationship with his 8-year-old son, RYAN (Jake Cherry, “Miracle Run”), reach some kind of accord with Laurie, and lend emotional support to KATE (Rachel Leigh Cook, “She’s All That”), a troubled young woman he met at the wellness center. For Jason and Shultz, what begins as a bumpy alliance gradually turns amicable as each helps steer the other toward against-all-odds legal victories. Ultimately, they hang up their shingle together and set out to take on underdog clients while attempting to keep each other “sane.”

Amazing they put this piece of crap on but canceled Firefly.

They must have one seriously big crackpipe over at FOX NETWORK in the show picking department.

Cause man they are all smoking it and throwing darts at a board to pick what shows to air and cancel.

If I had a buck for every show Fox has cancelled since they've been around i'd be a rich man.

Not only that, Fox had Itchy and Scratchy run over the producer's Lexus with a cartoon steamroller.

Wow. I didn't even know it was on two weeks. No loss I'm sure. I never tuned in.

To be honest, I wouldn't care if they cancelled ALL of the new shows out there. Haven't seen anything I like. Give me TV Land or Nick at Night for plain old entertainment.

Who on earth thought it would be funny to mock the mentally ill? What's next, a comedy about child molesters forming a daycare business?

That's usually my line.

And you'd be surprised at the number of FReepers who think it's okay.
