It’s quite a few weeks for Lisa Kudrow. Just before her comedy “The Comeback” returns to HBO after nine years Nov. 9, here she is on the rival premium cable network, with the fourth season of another brilliantly nuanced nutjob — the online only therapist Fiona Wallace on “Web Therapy” (Showtime, 11 p.m.).
In the season premiere, Fiona is matched for sheer nuttiness on the premiere by another spiritual blonde, Gwyneth Paltrow, portraying a loopy healer. Kudrow seems to get bigger and bigger stars involved in her unhinged improvisations including Jon Hamm, Allison Janney, Matthew Perry and Billy Crystal as well as the recurring guests, including Victor Garber, Dan Bucatinsky and Lily Tomlin.
