5.6 | TV-PG | en | Drama

Head Cases is an American primetime comedy-drama television program, best known as the first show cancelled for the 2005–2006 season. It was broadcast by FOX and premiered on September 14, 2005. It was cancelled after two episodes on September 22 after disastrous ratings and critical drubbing. Attorney Jason Payne (Chris O'Donnell) had a superstar career at a prestigious Los Angeles law firm -- that is, until his wife, Laurie, kicked him out of the house and he had a nervous breakdown. After three months at a "wellness center," Jason finds himself with no job, no place to live and no support system. Enter Russell Shultz (Adam Goldberg), an unkempt, unpredictable sufferer of explosive disorder, assigned to be outpatient "buddies" with Jason by their mutual therapist, Dr. Robinson. Payne and Shultz ultimately decide to open a law firm of their own.

Reviews

alshelley This is a good show or should I say was a good show. Fox has a problem giving shows a chance to catch on. I was talking to some of my friends about the new TV shows that have been introduced and three of us said we really liked Head Cases more than we were expecting too because the promos for the show didn't look good. We really liked the show when we saw it and told two others to check it out and look what happened. I've had it with Fox!!! I am so sick and tired of getting to like a show and then they scrap it. It has become a running joke in the IMBs everyone makes comments on how Fox knows how to make good TV shows but isn't smart enough to keep them on the air. Good show, Bad network.

kyle33 Yeah... I was looking foreword to seeing another episode. The people at fox really should give it another chance because the first two episodes were cool and it could have gone to so many different places. The location of their firm was awesome, and the little angry man made me laugh. So, they should put it on cable or something... I don't want to watch Lost or E-Ring and definitely not another nanny show. Anyone else agree with me? Wow the 10 line minimum is pretty gay. AHH I'M TRYING TO FILL UP TEN LINES BUT ITS REALLY HARD SO I'M GOING TO TYPE A LOT BECAUSE I FEEL STRONGLY ABOUT THE SHOW BUT I DON'T HAVE ANYTHING ELSE TO TYPE.

nanjen I just read that "Head Cases" has been canceled!! I am so mad!!! This is one of the only new shows that I've liked. Come on, Fox, give it a chance!! A lot of us don't like the shows that the critics rave about like "The Office". I like the nanny shows, but how many hours of it do we need every week?? Can't you put it on FX or somewhere? I will miss this show very much, I was just telling someone yesterday how much I liked it... Chris O'Donnell is so magnetic, and I thought that Adam Goldberg had finally found a role that was a combination of the wild man and the intellectual. And Venice, CA seemed like a great backdrop. I was upset that "The Law Firm" got axed from NBC after 2 shows, but at least it's been available on Bravo. Give it a chance on cable, please??

dpoll390 This show is great, I saw the previews for it and decided to watch it cause it seemed like my kind of show. If you're into the mystery, solve the case kind of thing, its not entirely for you, I think the show is more towards being humorous than mysterious. However it is a show that you can sit down and say "I wonder who the culprit is." The show does have some drama, but it seems to be canceled out by the performance of Adam Goldberg. Both he and Chris O'Donnel give amazing performances in this show and their chemistry is great.UNFORTUNATELY its on Fox. Which has its ups and downs, but for a show, more or less, it has its downs. One could make the argument that if this show was not on Fox it would not be known to an audience, however the shows on Fox are: ALWAYS CANCELED. They even canceled Family Guy...until they realized how stupid they were for doing so at least. That's when I realized that they have no idea what they're doing...well, they do, but you get my drift, I hope the show stays on the air for at least a whole season, its a great show. Watch it folks. I give it a 7.5/10
