Head Cases

I decided to watch this show even though TV guide, Entertainment Weekly and IMDb:TV didn't pick it as a sure hit. I was surprised to find that I love it. This show has definite potential. I think there is definite chemistry between Chris O'Donnell and Adam Goldberg. They make a great TV duo. I found myself laughing out loud at a lot of the lines. Most of the characters are likable yet pretty quirky; I love Richard Kind as the naked guy. The cases they take on are odd, yet rooted in reality and very interesting. I hope this show makes it. I give this show *** out of ****. Please watch and recommend to your friends!!! I don't want this show to get canceled.

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??

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.

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.
