Head Cases is an American primetime comedy-drama television program, best known as the first show cancelled for the 2005–2006 season. It was broadcast by FOX and premiered on September 14, 2005. It was cancelled after two episodes on September 22 after disastrous ratings and critical drubbing. Attorney Jason Payne (Chris O'Donnell) had a superstar career at a prestigious Los Angeles law firm -- that is, until his wife, Laurie, kicked him out of the house and he had a nervous breakdown. After three months at a "wellness center," Jason finds himself with no job, no place to live and no support system. Enter Russell Shultz (Adam Goldberg), an unkempt, unpredictable sufferer of explosive disorder, assigned to be outpatient "buddies" with Jason by their mutual therapist, Dr. Robinson. Payne and Shultz ultimately decide to open a law firm of their own.
Former superstar attorney Jason Payne suffers a nervous breakdown and spends some time at a wellness center, where he meets Shultz, a lawyer who represents petty criminals. The two eventually decide to work together defending underdog clients, while trying to regain their sanity.
Payne and Shultz try to help a client who is accused of blowing up a car dealership that belongs to his father-in-law. Without consulting with Payne, Shultz invites a paralegal to join their firm. To balance out the firm, Payne tries to hire his old secretary back. The four of them work together to try and free their client.
