Did anyone watch this show last night. I have a crush on Adam Goldberg.


Attorney Jason Payne had a superstar career at a prestigious Los Angeles law firm -- that is, until his wife, Laurie, kicked him out of the house and (to make a bad day even worse) he had a nervous breakdown. After three months at a "wellness center," Jason found himself with no job, no place to live and no support system. Enter Russell Shultz, an unkempt, unpredictable sufferer of explosive disorder, assigned to be outpatient "buddies" with Jason by their mutual therapist, Dr. Robinson. A low-rent lawyer who usually represents deviants and petty criminals, Shultz eagerly latches onto a reluctant Jason, inserting himself in all aspects of Jason's personal and professional life. The intrusion is the last thing Jason needs, preoccupied as he is with trying to re-establish a relationship with his 8-year-old son, Ryan, reach some kind of accord with Laurie, and lend emotional support to Kate, a troubled young woman he met at the wellness center. For Jason and Shultz, what begins as a bumpy alliance gradually turns friendly as each helps steer the other toward against-all-odds legal victories. Ultimately, they go into practice together, setting out to take on underdog clients while attempting to keep each other "sane."

The show was unrealistic but I like the premise. I think it's original.
