Huff Summary
Genres: Comedy Drama
Rating:
A typically offbeat and iconoclastic dramedy from the folks at Showtime, Huff starred Hank_Azaria (best known to contemporary fans for his many vocal characterizations on the animated The_Simpsons) as Dr. Craig "Huff" Huffstodt, a successful L.A. psychiatrist. When his well-ordered existence and sense of equilibrium were shattered by the suicide of a teenaged patient in his office, Huff embarked upon a difficult and often treacherous journey of self-discovery and re-examination. Unfortunately, he didn't receive too much moral support from his dysfunctional family: Huff's hypercritical, self-absorbed mother, Izzy (Emmy winner Blythe_Danner), was going through a divorce and was having enough troubles of her own; his brother, Teddy (Andy_Comeau), was not what one could call dependable; his son, Byrd (Anton_Yelchin), was experimenting with drugs; and his wife, Beth (Paget_Brewster), had her hands full coping with her gravely ill mother, Madeleine (Swoosie_Kurtz). Only Huff's attorney friend Russell Tupper (Oliver_Platt) was willing to offer advice and comfort, but Tupper too was weighed down with his own personal hang-ups, not least of which was his insatiable sexual appetite. Distinguished by its mordant sense of humor and some truly outrageous plot twists, Huff was created by Robert_Lowry (Profiler, Any_Day_Now), and began its weekly, 60-minute run on November 1, 2004.
