Herman's Head

Herman's Head was a TV series on the FOX network that aired from 1991 to 1994. As FOX was a relatively young network, they were able to experiment with the show's format, allowing for a unique device: whenever Herman, the main character, had an important decision to make, the TV audience would be shown a "Greek chorus" style dramatization of his thought process featuring four actors representing differing aspects of his psyche. Though the show suffered from poor ratings and many viewers felt that the quirky format was exhausted after two seasons, the show will be remembered for its unique device. Additionally, the show launched the TV careers of several of its stars, including Hank Azaria, Jane Sibbett, and Yeardley Smith.
