The night after an ex-“Friends” cast mate, Matt LeBlanc, began the second season of his acclaimed show, “Episodes,” (Showtime, 9:30 and 10:30 p.m.), Lisa Kudrow begins the second season of her own Showtime comedy, “Web Therapy” (Showtime, 11 p.m.).
The brilliant premise, of a doctor who only sees people through web-cam is perfect for the era of watching on different platforms (on computer may be the best way). The success of the show and its freedoms have attracted a wide array of talent, including this season, Meryl Streep, Minnie Driver, Rosie O’Donnell, Conan O’Brien and a third former “Friends” costar David Schwimmer.
