ABC's New Shows for the 2006-07 Season

Help Me Help You
Comedy

Premise: A therapy group is led by a doctor who may be in the greatest need of therapy.

First Impressions: We think we may be ready to say that Ted Danson is cool again. This role looks to be a lot subtler than his misanthropic "Becker," and his supporting cast of that-guys and -girls looks like they'll be able to bring something to the piece too. We really hope that Jane Kaczmarek, who's a guest star in the pilot, sticks around, because the clips with her and Danson show what could be a great comedic chemistry. This show won't be for every taste, but it looks promising.

Stars: Ted Danson ("Cheers"), Charlie Finn ("Life on a Stick," "The Dukes of Hazzard"), Jim Rash ("That '70s Show"), Suzy Nakamura ("Dodgeball"), Darlene Hunt ("I Heart Huckabees"), Jere Burns ("Good Morning Miami"), Jane Kaczmarek ("Malcolm in the Middle")

Studio: Regency Television

Producers: Jennifer Konner ("Undeclared"), Alexandra Rushfield ("Undeclared")
