HEY! Just wanted to let you know that this is a freaking AWESOME show! Its very entertaining-- especially Roman
BillTaub (24th February 2009)
Really nice, Gregg. I love the way this evolved over five episodes. The tone is totally different now. The shrinks are sicker than the patient. I hope Lorber doesn't choose one -- and the search continues...
Catherine (4th February 2009)
Awkward writing.
lunarcontact (28th January 2009)
Alanna Ubach is amazing in this, so funny!
