Head Case is a comedy series that aired on Starz from 2007 to 2009. Created by Alexandra Wentworth and based on her real-life experiences in therapy, the series follows therapist Dr. Elizabeth Goode (played by Wentworth) as she counsels various celebrities and other high-profile clients.

Each episode centers around Dr. Goode's sessions with a different guest star, who plays a fictionalized version of themselves. Some of the famous faces that appear on the show include Hugh Hefner, Jerry Seinfeld, and Rosie O'Donnell. The therapy sessions are often interrupted by Dr. Goode's personal life, as she struggles to balance her professional and personal relationships.

Along with Wentworth, the show also stars Steve Landesberg as Dr. Myron Finkelstein, Dr. Goode's colleague and occasional rival. Michelle Arthur plays Lola, Dr. Goode's assistant, who frequently finds herself caught up in her boss's antics.

One of the main themes of the series is the idea that even the rich and famous have problems that they need help with. Dr. Goode is shown as being able to connect with her clients and help them work through their issues, despite their privileged backgrounds. The show is also known for its humor, with Dr. Goode often using unconventional methods to get through to her clients.

The characters in Head Case are all flawed in their own way, and the show doesn't shy away from their shortcomings. Dr. Goode's personal life is often a mess, with her struggling to maintain a relationship with her boyfriend, Jeremy (played by Rob Benedict), and dealing with her own insecurities. Lola is shown as being somewhat scatterbrained and overly eager to please, while Dr. Finkelstein is often portrayed as pompous and self-important.

Despite their flaws, the characters in Head Case are all likable in their own way. Dr. Goode is a relatable protagonist, with her struggles to balance her personal and private life resonating with many viewers. Lola is endearing in her enthusiasm, while Dr. Finkelstein's snarky comments provide some of the show's funniest moments.

Overall, Head Case is a lighthearted comedy that doesn't take itself too seriously. The show's celebrity guest stars add an extra layer of fun, and Wentworth's portrayal of Dr. Goode is both funny and heartwarming. While it may not be the most profound or thought-provoking show out there, Head Case is an enjoyable way to pass the time for anyone who enjoys a good laugh.

Head Case is a series that is currently running and has 3 seasons (30 episodes). The series first aired on April 18, 2007.
