Alexandra Wentworth Plays Shrink to the Stars
in the Hysterical Starz Originals Series
Head Case: Season 1
Get Your Head Examined on DVD March 17, 2009
Beverly Hills, CA; February 13, 2009 - Think the neurotic nature of "
Curb your Enthusiasm" mixed with the show biz lampooning of "
The Larry Sanders Show" and you have an idea of what's inside the head of "
Head Case," a Starz Originals series about the day to day insanity of being a therapist to the stars. The wickedly sly series of 15-minute "sessions" features comedic actress Alexandra Wentworth ("
The Oprah Winfrey Show") as a doctor with a unique assortment of celebrity clientele, all of whom just can't seem to stop talking about themselves. Anchor Bay Entertainment and Starz Originals releases
Head Case: Season 1 on DVD March 17, 2009. Improv, satire, and a good dose of absurdist fun come together on this DVD of the first 8 episodes, available for an SRP of $19.97.
Dr. Elizabeth Goode, Ph. D (Wentworth) is a brash and judgmental therapist who uses her own unconventional methods of treatment to help the famous (and infamous) in the entertainment world to finally get a grip on reality. Her unique way of untwisting the celebrity psyche has made Dr. Goode the hippest of therapists, and made partner, Dr. Finkelstein (Steve Landesberg, "
Barney Miller"), just a little bit nuts. Dr. Goode now spends her time with a revolving door of celebrities, all of whom seem to revel in their own silly brand of neuroses.
Rosanna Arquette, Andy Dick, Ione Skye, Lea Thompson, Richard Kind, James Denton, David Alan Grier, Greg Grunberg, Monica Potter, Joel Madden, Christopher Lloyd, Jason Lewis, Jonathan Silverman, Jennifer Finnigan, Ahmet Zappa, Trudie Styler, Cindy Margolis and Jeff Goldblum all make an appointment in
Head Case: Season 1 to bare all and get a sample of the good Doctor's medicine.
Head Case: Season 1 is the series that the
Pittsburgh Post-Gazette raves is "Seriously Funny!" DVD Extras includes a behind-the-scenes featurette and a collection of outrageous outtakes and deleted scenes.
New episodes of "
Head Case" featuring all new guest stars premieres on Starz March 20, 2009.
