'Seinfeld' alum Jason Alexander starred in this sitcom about 'America's No. 3 self-help guru.' Bob Patterson couldn't help himself (that's the the show's central irony), and Jason Alexander didn't help his career with this dud. Chalk it up to 'the Seinfeld curse' (Michael Richards and Julia Louis-Dreyfuss tanked in their series, too), or chalk it up to an unworkable concept, but it lasted less than two months.
