Web Therapy - Interview with Lisa Kudrow

Lisa Kudrow's Web Therapy is based on a brilliantly bad idea: What if a self-absorbed therapist offers her patients three-minute sessions over iChat? It's nothing Freud or Jung would approve of, that's for sure. The improv series, which launched online in 2008, has earned several Webby nods and one Outstanding Comedic Performance Webby for Kudrow, who plays therapist Fiona Wallice. Tonight, a reformatted, half-hour version of the show premieres on Showtime at 11 ET.

How into webisodes were you when you created Web Therapy?
Oh, not at all. I wasn't really doing anything online other than returning emails. Now I watch TV online.

This show has been a success for you. But post-Friends, did you feel like there were some brick walls you ran into, like with The Comeback?
Yeah, that was certainly a brick wall. That was really a disappointment, and I think also just bad luck, in a way, as it was just starting to catch on. It was funny. It was like being [on an] HBO that stopped being HBO for a moment; that was the moment we were there.
