Head Case: The Complete Second Season

I love her Alexandra Wentworth - could see more and more. Ali Wentworth should be seen more. Great comedic style. Hope to see her soon

Season 2 of Head Case has two DVD discs so I was expecting a few more episodes after the fourth show on disc 2. I thought the Freud Liberation Army would be much funnier, but I might know too much about Freud already. One of the best lines:

I don't like made up religions.

People have been trying to figure out how to worship for thousands of years, competing with various local customs. Head Case is not usually about religion. The significance of marriage and anxiety attacks dominate season 2. My real life has been devoid of comedy at this level, so I was vulnerable to becoming a fan that laughs at things other people hardly ever read about. My attempts to put a literary life together for myself are piffle compared to the final episode of Head Case. Random House is not as interested in an author as in a subject like how celebrity has become such a dominating entertainment value for people who wonder what is going on. I did not know the actors in most of the shows, but the shrink who falls asleep and the therapist passing out after drinking resonate with what my brain does so frequently that I must have struggled to stay awake to see this season.

My DVD of Head Case Season 1 has another fan in Saint Paul so I found out (from her) more about some of the people involved. I can understand why Andy Dick is almost a regular character playing himself. I like to make comparisons with rock and roll. I can't think of a single hit song about a psychotic shrink.

Season one is the stronger of the two seasons on DVD. Maybe it's the guest stars, the fresh ideas, storylines, etc. I personally found myself wanting to see more of Dr. Myron Finkelstein (Fred Landedberg) I think he was really underused. Overall the show is entertaining but it's best to watch one episode at a time (small doses) and the improv is only as good as the subject and actors, it's no Curb. IMDB has it listed as three seasons but the DVD Complete set is two seasons. I think this show had some webisodes too bad they aren't included on the DVD. I would suggest viewing some clips on the web, Netflix it, or rent first. If you find yourself laughing at the dialogue it's probably worth adding to your collection. Get the full set though unless you already own season one.
