The first show to suffer the axe of this young television season is Head Cases. It aired only two episodes, of which I enjoyed both, not many others did. It wasn't a great show, but it was entertaining.
The show starred Chris O'Donnell, who seems to be trying to return to the spotlight, and Adam Goldberg. They portrayed a pair of dysfunctional lawyers who are paired off upon leaving a mental hospital. O'Donnell was the straitlaced, trying to get his life back, while Goldberg was the more explosive and wacky of the two.
It was a fun show, a new take on the old odd couple formula that didn't catch on with critics or fans. It was drawing very low ratings and it seems the network didn't want to try and cultivate it's audience. Of course, it doesn't help that it was up against Lost. It's hard to compete when the opposition draws 30 million plus to it's premiere. Not everything can become a phenomenon, sometimes it takes more than two episodes to get going.
In it's place, what do we get? Oh yeah, just what we needed, more reality television. First is Nanny 911 for a couple of weeks, followed by baseball playoffs, and finally the second season of Trading Spouses: Meet Your New Mommy. Yeah, that's a lot more exciting. Thanks Fox....
There were 6 episodes produced, and there is no word on the fate of the unaired 4. Perhaps they will try to market it on DVD?
