News: Web Therapy Premieres Tuesday Night in the US

Tuesday night (US time) sees the premiere of a new comedy entitled Web Therapy on the Showtime network. 

It stars Lisa Kudrow as therapist Fiona Wallice, Victor Garber and Lily Tomlin along with a host of other notable guest stars including Jane Lynch and Courtney Cox. 

But here's the twist: it originally aired as a web series, with most of the episodes up on YouTube. 

Here's the official description: 

"Fiona Wallice is a therapist with no patience. Tired of hearing about people's dreams and feelings for fifty long minutes at a stretch, she devises a new kind of treatment, the three-minute video chat. And still, the sessions end up being largely about her. Emmy Award® winner Lisa Kudrow co-created, produces and stars in this outrageous therapeutic send-up. Originally produced as a series of webisodes, WEB THERAPY features a unique visual format and an A-list guest cast who, along with Kudrow, improvises their performances with hilarious results."

Hopefully Australia gets to see it soon, as it would make a great fit on Ten's multichannel Eleven, given its affinity for Showtime content (Dexter, Nurse Jackie, etc.) and its youth skew.
