Ready for another comedy of discomfort, watching people who are creepy beyond belief and don't know it, trying to negotiate the world around them? Then step right up for the first three sessions with online therapist, Fiona Wallice, in Web Therapy. As played by Lisa Kudrow -- famed for her years on Friends and less-so for her more recent HBO discomfort-com The Comeback -- Wallice is a self-serving wacko who, in these three episodes at least, is counseling a former paramour she'd like to reclaim. And, as per the conceit of the show, she does these therapy sessions via webcam. What does Lexus have to do with it? The car maker launched its L/Studio site to feature shows like Web Therapy. In the old days, you watched TV shows to get ads; now you get to the ads to get some TV.
Web Therapy is written by Kudrow and co-written and directed by Don Roos, who directed her in a couple of films, including the excellent The Opposite of Sex. Her patient/ex in the first three webisodes -- there will be 15 total -- is played by Tim Bagley, one of those Hollywood everymen you'll instantly recognize and never be able to place ("Hey, it's that guy!") Coming in October on L/Studio is Puppy Love, a 50-episode Web series about people and their relationships. With their dogs, mostly. It'll star former X-man Famke Janssen. And more actors you won't be able to place. Plus, a lot of awesome puppy dogs. T
