'Web Therapy': Lisa Kudrow solves your problems, 3 minutes at a time

Lisa Kudrow debuts her newest series on television Tuesday night (July 19) -- but it's not exactly brand-new."Web Therapy" has been airing online for three years as a short-form web series, and it's making the jump to Showtime at 11 p.m. ET Tuesday. Kudrow plays self-styled therapist Fiona Wallice, who doesn't much like the traditional model of treatment and prefers webcam sessions with her clients that last only a few minutes.
The show strings together several of the webisodes and has expanded Fiona's world a little bit to give her an on-camera husband (Victor Garber), a mom (Lily Tomlin) and an IT guy (Maulik Pancholy of "30 Rock"), which help round out the show into a half-hour comedy. The web series was often pretty funny, and we'll be curious to see how it translates into a bigger, longer format.
Here's a taste of the season premiere, in which Fiona uses her husband, Kip, to test the concept.

Funniest lady I know, hands down.
It should also be noted Maulik Pancholy was a semi-regular on Kudrow's brilliant HBO show "The Comeback" as one of the 'bidi bidi boys'.
this is just radio- no need for the visual.... put it where it belongs.
Also reminds me of "saucie"- her other role in that bomb cable show from 2 seasons ago. What's the fake accent/dialect?....she talks funny and it doesn't make sense.
