Great show that should not have been canceled

[The_Athlete · 10/10 · 28 October 2008]

The show was very entertaining and had one of the best cast of any show I have ever seen. The cast included Ted Danson and several other veteran actors such as Jere Burns, Tim Meadows, Charlie Finn, Jim Rash, Jane Lynch, Thomas F. Wilson, Bruce Altman and Jane Kaczmarek, if you don't recognize the names, look at pictures of them, and you will most likely remember them from something. I consider this show one of my favorites despite such few episodes and I am clueless as to why ABC canceled it.

Now about the show it was a comedy. Ted Danson played a Therapist and best selling self-help author who held group therapy meetings for people who had social problems such as anger management, sexual confusion, dating and work place environment issues and he tries to get them to take control of their lives and help themselves. At the same time Ted Danson's character is dealing with being divorced from his long time wife played by Jane Kaczmarek who is dating Thomas F. Wilson's character, and while all this is going on his 20 something daughter is dating a fellow therapist who is the same age as him. So Ted Danson's character is trying to help others while he needs a lot of help himself. It was a very funny show and another great work by Ted Danson.

Absolutely Brilliant!

I loved this when it originally came out, and am so glad I had TiVo at the time, because I still think it is one of the best television comedies I have ever seen over 10 years later. Ted Danson is superb as an egotistical, self-unaware therapist and the supporting cast are equally believable in their character roles. I still laugh.

I never did find out why it was cancelled so abruptly and the final four episodes never aired.

canceled too soon.

This is a great show. I have only seen 1 episode but that 1 episode is good enough for me to know this show should not have been canceled.

I loved the set and the people who were on it.

This is the hardest to find TV show, ever. I would compare it to finding the movie "The Jungle", an adaptation of Upton Sinclair's(an American journalist) accounts in real life, which disappeared off the face of the Earth apparently or footage of Steven Seagal getting his arm broke by a Gracie on movie set because he was to cocky. I was on set when Charlie Finn forgot his lines over and over and kept walking away smiling , even when one of the executives said that it was a digital take. This was my first time on set but, being a computer tech, I knew what a digital take meant. SO.. after the third take , I stopped looking at Charlie Finn and started looking at Ted Danson. This man,Ted Danson, was so professional he did not blink an eye, even after 7+ takes. I was a cockroach in movie standards, an Extra, but that day I learned that I wanted nothing to do with movie industry. I knew that day , if I would have pursued a film career, I would have been violent on set due to idiot(s). It takes a lot of time and energy to be as professional as Ted Danson was that day. People think acting is an easy job, WRONG, WRONG.... dealing with idiots on a day to day basis from the brink of dawn till dusk is one of the most psychological and emotional challenges you will ever face. I do not care what your profession is , there is a reason why not many actors are on the A list, TV or not.
