Dr. Katz, Professional Therapist: Season One includes the first six 1995 episodes from the Comedy Central animated series, which was based, the story goes, on comic actor Jonathan Katz's personal life. Playing himself (i.e., providing the voice for his cartoon self) as a divorced psychologist whose clients include a number of comedians, Katz is very funny in a non-confrontational, quietly frustrated yet loquacious way. Dr. Katz lives with his grown son (H. Jon Benjamin), an unemployed, apparently unskilled loser who hangs around Katz's office ineptly trying to pick up his dad's prickly receptionist (Laura Silverman). The latter is so surly and self-centered she tells Katz he doesn't "know what it's like" to spend a day around "crazy people" at work. (Katz, being Katz, has no comeback to that remark.) These three absurd characters (and the inspired performers behind them) would be enough to fill a show by themselves. But the biggest plus in Dr. Katz is a succession of vocal performances (which sound largely improvised) by some welcome comedians playing neurotic versions of themselves, including (and especially) Ray Romano, Wendy Liebman, Dave Attell, Laura Kightlinger, and Larry Miller, all in the first season. Each episode exudes anxiety and churns along to the sound of rambling dialogues that barely paper over repressed desire and rage. Sort of like real life, except funnier. --Tom Keogh

This is a great show and I’m glad to have the whole series now!
I am also fond of the fact that Katz and his son, Ben (a 23 year old slacker) have as many (if not more) issues than the patients. One of my favorite recurring plotlines is Ben's attempt to get Katz's receptionist to date him, which only works when there is great opportunity for embarrassment for her boss at an "open mic" night. (I also particularly enjoy her creative hostility when she helps Ben park and subsequently get towed from a no parking zone.)
This show (which really was made in Tom Snyder's pantry) is very dry and full of a bizarre mix of subtlety and snideness and is a true wonder of low budget animation. It not only introduced the world to the delights of Squigglevision (which propagated to the first season of "Home Movies") but made cartoons acceptable for adults again after years of focus on kids.
This is a great, funny, intelligent, and surreal animation experience and I recommend it highly.
I think the biggest laughs might come from the first episode when Dom Irrera was on the couch. Something about him talking about dressing Dr. Katz in a red gown and riding him like a bull had me dying. The interplay between Dr. Katz and Ben, and seeing how the Dr. relates with his rude secretary and his friends at the bar is also great.
Season 1 also has many appearances by Ray Romano, another funny guy. Again, hopefully one day, someone will eventually release all 6 seasons of this classic cartoon....
Dom Irrera, Dave Attel and Larry Miller. Some of this works
and some of it doesn't. Jonathan Katz is always funny along with
his son Ben(Jon Benjimin), and his bored secretary(Laura Silverman). Ray Romano is good. Some of the other comics are
spotty. The commentary by the creators(Tom Snyder, Katz and Benjimin)
is what makes this especially interesting(it would be a three
star without it) Filmed in squigglevision, which gives the
illusion of movement, when actually only the lips and eyes move.
They talk about how some people got ill watching squigglevision. I enjoyed
the show when it first ran, but watching no more than one or two
episodes at a time is enough. I suppose they are waiting to see the response before issuing more on DVD. I hope they do, but
more episodes on the DVD please.
