Head Cases

I watched the first show and thought it was great .... taped the 2nd show .... They CANCELLED the show after 2 airings only? What was FOX thinking? Going up against LOST is a death sentence ...

I do not think it was an advocacy for "mental" patients ... but I did love Adam Goldberg's character... and Chris O'Donnell is one of my favorite actors ...

How can they make this judgment in 2 airings only .... and if they have other episodes "in the can" as they say, why don't they simply show them, instead of NANNY 911

Perhaps that is why FOX will always be "the other network"

Chris O'Donnell and Adam Goldberg provide near perfect chemistry as two lawyers, one with panic attacks and the other with an explosive personality disorder, who end up, more out of necessity than anything else, taking on the legal system with tongues firmly implanted in their cheeks. If you find "The Law" to be a field ripe with humorous possibilities, as I do, then this new show from Fox will be right up your alley, and if hitting a rather pompous attorney in the head with a rather hefty law book strikes you as funny, as it did me, then this show will more than satisfy. I like shows with quirky characters, as long as they show me some genuine human emotion, and I'm happy with what I've seen so far.

I am horrified that they canceled this show! I thoroughly enjoyed the last (and only) 2 episodes. It was nice and refreshing to have something new for a change - funny and quirky - Adam Goldberg was hysterical! Shame on you Fox!!! How can you keep some of the other crap you have playing, and get rid of something so good? It was so nice to watch something that wasn't predictable for a change. The naked paralegal with his RV? The anal assistant who was slowly starting to loosen up? I've always liked Chris O'Donnell, and thought he gave a very real performance in this show. I couldn't believe my eyes when I saw that Fox had taken it off the air. Obviously not a very funny, intelligent decision-maker among you!

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.

After watching the pilot tonight on Fox (9/14/05) I can see this show will develop into a great drama/comedy. Chris O'Donnell and Adam Goldberg are both great actors and I was actually surprised they have come to television. Adam's character's eccentric behavior works perfectly off of Chris's character, who is the perfect "straight man" in this show. The writing is excellent, as is the direction. If only Fox allows it to continue for an entire season. Anyone who has fallen in love with a great show on Fox is well aware that the station tends to cancel a show, no matter how great, due to poor ratings. Since Head Cases is up against Lost, I'm not quite sure how it will do ratings wise. I can only hope Fox allows it to run a long course, and more people begin watching. I think promotion by Fox and good word of mouth by viewers are key.
