Head Case

An Us Weekly exposé on celebrity scandal can't be half as juicy as a session with psychiatrist to the stars Dr. Goode. Alexandra Wentworth, formerly of In Living Color, is Goode, the "it" L.A. shrink with unconventional methods for dealing with rich and eccentric patients. Supporting players made up of a groupie assistant and a comically depressive rival psychoanalyst counterbalance second-tier celebrities like Andy Dick and Jason Priestly, who are willing to poke fun at their public perception. That dose of self-degradation appeals to guys who watch to avoid girlfriend conversations (us), and also to egocentric viewers (everyone else) who hope to chuckle at others' misfortunes. Episodes clock in at 10-minute morsels of classically understated one-liners as dry as camel turds and usually just as nutty.
