Help Me, Help You

It was first broadcast at 9:30pm Tuesdays on ABC: American Broadcasting Company (GoAnimate in Real Life) in the United States and on Global in Canada. Help Me Help You was a comedy about a collection of eccentric individuals in group psychotherapy with a respected therapist—who may quite possibly have more problems than his patients.

On May 15, 2007, ABC officially canceled the show after the network announced their 2007–2008 fall schedule.
