Head
Case
Starring Allie Wentworth on Starz!
About Head Case:
Meet cutting edge
therapist Dr. Elizabeth Goode. She’s brash, unconventional, judgmental, but
undeniably thriving as the “it therapist” to Hollywood’s maladjusted
celebrity elite. Boldly brandishing her own unique mental insight and
technique Dr. Goode’s days have rapidly become filled with a literal who’s
who from the world of entertainment, sports and music. Having recently moved
her practice to Los Angeles, Dr. Goode currently shares office space with
philistine Freudian shrink, Dr. Myron Finkelstein, whose own practice is
floundering due to a rash of recent patient suicides. He is more than a
little intrigued about Dr. Goode’s methods if for no other reason than he
may draw a few of those waiting patients onto his hopelessly vacant couch.
Secretary Lola Buckingham runs the quaint, but busy office whilst attempting
to teach the boundary-less Finkelstein a little celebrity etiquette. Starz
gets into celebrity psyche with “Head Case,” an original comedy series
(written by Jason Farrand, Robert Bauer, Alexandra Wentworth, Steve
Landesburg, Michelle Arthur and all the Guest Patients) is scheduled to air
in April 2007. Celebrities filling the pages of her burgeoning appointment
book in her first year of practice include Fred Willard, Rick Fox, Tom
Sizemore, Alanis Morrisette, Jason Priestley, Ione Skye, Sean Hayes, Ralph
Macchio, Jane Kaczmarek, Jennifer Finnigan, Andy Dick, Shelby Lynne, Rich
Eisen, Jonathan Silverman, Liz Phair, Willie Garson. In some circles, Dr.
Goode’s unusual brand of therapy could be deemed a little eccentric and
somewhat strange, but judging by her patient Rolodex and recent rumor of an
impending book, Premiere Magazine’s
“20 Most Powerful Women in Hollywood” has a new contender – Dr.
Elizabeth Goode… “Head Case” is a co-production between Starz Entertainment
and UNCLE Film + Television. Executive Producers are Robert Bauer, Eric
Bonniot, Jason Farrand and Alexandra Wentworth.
Our Review of Head Case
I should have read what the TV show was about before
watching the first episode. I usually do not. because I do not want to
have any biases towards or against the show before I watch it. You might
laugh at this, but at first I thought it was just another reality TV show with B
and C list celebrities going to see a shrink. However, it did not take me
much time to realize that this was all just put on for the camera. For
instance, the therapist, Dr. Elizabeth Goode goes crazy herself in her
techniques -- a little too far for a real mental health doctor. She asks
Jason Priestly if he was gay, she makes fun of Andy Dick's alcohol problems, and
that is only the beginning.
It may seem kind of lame at first -- the whole idea,
especially since they are all acting -- even the actors acting as themselves.
However, it is anything but lame. It kept me entertained for the entire
episode, even with actors and actresses I never even heard of. This is one
of those shows that I will probably watch a few weeks before making any final
determination. But this is one show I will watch again -- but hopefully,
it does not get too repetitive, which I can see occurring fairly easily if the
script gets even a little stale.
