In a story I broke yesterday, Web Therapy debuted on television last night and if that is not enough psychoanalysis for you, today sees the premiere of Issues which you can watch over at Crackle.com. Issues follows psychologist Josh Cooke (Committed) as he analyzes animated superheroes. And when I say animated, I am talking actual cartoon characters.
There is the Superman like Captain Magnificent (voiced by Rob Riggle, Going the Distance
), Robin gets spoofed by Sidecar (Seth Green, Old Dogs
), the blind K9 (Eric Stonestreet, Modern Family
) brings to mind Daredevil, The Dark Kodiak (Greg Grumberg, Love Bites) is the bear version of Batman, Nothing (Ron Livingston (Office Space
) is basically the Invisible Man, while The Incredible Flame is the Human (Eddie Kay Thomas, American Wedding
) Flame with a little Dr. Manhattan mixed in.Unlike most therapy shows, Issues gets off the couch from time to time, most humorously when we see K9 trying to stop a burglary. And even though the episode are aired on the internet, Issue wisely utilizes the censor button, making Sidecar’s profanity laden rants against his mentor even that much funnier when half of his speech is bleeped out. With six episodes under five minutes each, you will be able to bang out the show in a lunch break once all the episodes are uploaded. Hopefully there is a second season featuring supervillians coming soon. Check out the trailer below:
