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.

Ameriatch One of the best films i have seen

Plustown A lot of perfectly good film show their cards early, establish a unique premise and let the audience explore a topic at a leisurely pace, without much in terms of surprise. this film is not one of those films.

Ella-May O'Brien Each character in this movie — down to the smallest one — is an individual rather than a type, prone to spontaneous changes of mood and sometimes amusing outbursts of pettiness or ill humor.

Celia A great movie, one of the best of this year. There was a bit of confusion at one point in the plot, but nothing serious.

janylaw I am more than a little disgusted with the Fox Network for canceling this show after only 2 episodes. This show was not only funny, it featured two extremely talented but overlooked actors - Chris O'Donnel and Adam Goldberg. They proved in only 2 shows to have the chemistry, depth of character development and comic timing to have what could have been an Emmy award winning show. Adam Goldberg is a comic genius and has proved himself over and over again. He is also an incredible dramatic actor. Once again, Fox has given me another reason to skip over their lineup. Word to the geniuses that canceled it - put it back on the air.

General_G I like Adam Goldberg. He has a great voice for comedy and should get his own show and he did and once again Fox screws up like they've been doing for ten years now. This was a good show, but it was taken away so Fox can cram in more crappy reality shows just like what they did to Oliver Beene and The Pitts and other good shows that stupid Fox didn't give a chance. Two episodes aired. How can you tell from that that the show wouldn't have been successful? I don't know much about Chris O'Donnell, but I know Adam Goldberg is a good comedian and that this could have been as much of a success as Everybody Hates Chris. Advise to some people out there with a good sitcom they are trying to sell, don't go to Fox!

kwannenburg 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!

mommy9000 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.
