    WTF. Head Cases deserved better than this. The Pitt's got five weeks, Quintuplets got 22. Why the hell did Head Cases only get TWO.

    Adam Goldberg and Chris O'Donnell had the potential of being as good as Martin and Lewis or Abbot and Costello. The 2 shows that aired were every bit as funny as Ally McBeal or Boston Legal. So why only two aired episodes?

    This sort of shabby treatment is why some actors avoid working in TV. The lack of faith and commentment this shows is aborhent. No network orders just two shows. Why not at least show what was ordered. Who knows, maybe Head Cases could have developed a, oh what's it call; Oh yea, A FOLLOWINGmoreless

  • It wasn't that bad that it had to be canceled after two episodes.

    It wasn't bad enough to canceled after just two freakin episodes. It would mildly funny and I think it just had a bad pilot but I thought the second episode was okay. Head Cases is about a prime lawyer and a not-so-prime one. Chris O'Donnell is very funny along with that other guy. They're kind of like the lawyer Odd Couple, except not as funny. I think that it could have been a better show and I wish that Fox would put out all five episodes made so that more people could have more of an opinion about Head Cases.moreless

  • The Best Lawyer show since Ally McBeal. And the absolute fastest disappearing act since "Maximum Bob" in the 90's. Come on Fox, this show rocks! And...by the way you need it!moreless

    Two lawyers who are both nuts. Now that is worth watching. I totally dig the Anger-management Challenged Lawyer. Hitting the DA in the face with a law book was priceless. I think Marsha Clark deserved that during the OJ trial. And the pretentious money bags lawyer with an anxiety disorder...okay so I know no lawyers who suffer from anxiety disorder but it is a nice fantasy anyway. Please bring this wonderful show back. It's a keeper.moreless

  • I didn't ever think Chris O'Donnell was that funny until I watched him play a lawyer on t.v. and put him with Adam Goldberg the attorney with a temper and connections that really surprised me.moreless

    I really liked this show. It thought it was really funny. I thought that Chris O'Donnell and Adam Goldberg really played off each other well comedically. I loved the story line, and how different they were. I wish Fox would bring back this show, because I miss watching it alot.

  • PLEASE BRING HEAD CASES BACK!!!!!!!!! I LOVED THAT SHOW!

    I cannot believe that such a funny show could be pulled off the air so quickly. I loved Head Cases, It was so much fun to watch! Networks do not give shows enough time to catch an audience. FOX will be sorry for canceling Head Cases...just as NBC is now banging their heads against the wall for passing up on Desperate Housewifes! Silly EXECS!!! What are these people thinking?!!!
