Help Me Help You (ABC)

In the sitcom HELP ME HELP YOU, five eccentric people seek help from a respected therapist with many problems of his own. Ted Danson stars as Dr. Bill Hoffman, a successful therapist and author who's dealing with the end of his 25-year marriage to Anne (Jane Kaczmarek). By day, Hoffman works with the clients in his group therapy sessions -- including Dave (Charlie Finn), who attempted suicide by jumping out a window; Jonathan (Jim Rash), a possibly gay metrosexual; Inger (Suzy Nakamura), a lonely self-made millionaire; clingy Darlene (Darlene Hunt); and Michael (Jere Burns), who has anger issues. By night, Hoffman deals with the demise of his marriage.

Adult viewers will likely find the scenarios in Help Me Help You entertaining and relatable. In one episode, for example, Dr. Hoffman arranges to meet his college-age daughter, Sasha (Lindsay Sloane), and her new boyfriend; when he discovers that the beau is Sasha's psychology professor, he insists that she's dating him as a replacement for her father. Hoffman later drinks too much and accidentally end ups back at home, where he climbs into bed with Anne and her new boyfriend. And the next day, he replaces his sturdy station wagon with a swanky new sports car. But Help Me Help You's laughs are decidedly of the adult variety -- a lot of the humor might go over kids' head, and the stuff that doesn't is probably too edgy for everyone except older teens.
