    Such a wide variety of talent!

    Interesting cast. Somewhere I read that Rachel Leigh Cook is going to be on it, too! And I just LMAO when I saw Richard Kind in the second episode--too bad in my mind I see him as a goofy grasshopper (A Bug's Life).

    I really am enjoying the show. It's quite a different twist on the courtroom story...not really a comedy but not a drama either, must be the new genre, huh? I hope that it isn't going to be canceled as so many people have mentioned--that'd be a shame. Why does crap like Paris Hilton's show stay on for two seasons but something entertaining like this get the can after a few episodes?!

    Who is the actress playing O'Donnell's secretary, though? She looks so familiar!

    Very funny and entertaining surprise from Fox

    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

    Canceled after only 2 shows!!!

    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??

    Please watch this show!

    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.

    Great show, but how long before it is canceled?

    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.
