So where is this show? I'm looking for it. I was trying to explain it to someone.

Compared to the comic-kill-horror-action crap on now, this was pure genius.

I think one of the top five funniest moments in Television was a Herman’s Head moment. There was an episode where Herman accidentally told everyone everyone else’s secrets. Through this process, we find out that the boss is scared of clowns. In the last scene, it is Herman’s birthday, and his mother sends him a clown to sing him “Happy Birthday.” The boss walks in, sees the clown, calmly walks to the secretary, says “Louise, call 911,” walks into his office, closes the door, and collapses on the floor screaming. Still one of the funniest things I have ever seen on TV.

An absolute piece of crap! This show helped to vault Fox as the Number One televison network...among sex offenders.

Day one. This show was as funny as a case of herpes. Herman was lame and so were the lame-os they casted to behis personalities or whatever the hell they were.

Never jumped. The thing about this show was that they made Herman TOO normal, with nothing specatular or unususal ever happening to him. (The writer's of Sienfield or some other group that would have been more creative would have been the difference this show needed.) I do like how the ONLY character in Herman's Head that would have complete control at times without ANY consideration of the others was the one that controlled his sexual urges. Very realistic in that sex is really the only drive that causes men to not care about anything else. (Most men that is.)

I don't think this show ever jumped. I loved it. The only thing I hated was the way they had to make his "reasonable side" a woman. Why not make the "pig" side of him a woman and make the nice side a man. Why did it have to be so stereotypic. I thought the conversations in Herman's head were fairly realistic. Oh sure they were drawn out a bit to suit TV tastes but overall they were generally on track with how a guy thinks.

While certainly not a classic, the show was a guilty pleasure. For my money, it wasn't on long enough to have jumped.

This'd be okay in a cartoon (Simpsons, Futurama etc) but when ya change reality from week 2 week ya lose yer audience. Herman's basic character just totally shifted at one point. There are good reasons why FORMULAS exist for genre TV. The Cosby Show would've died much sooner if Cliff had suddenly become an alcoholic wife beater. Maybe there was just too much concentration of creative talent in the room at script meetings. When the gang split off into several different shows they had successes (Friends, Mad About You, Simpsons etc)

I'm sorry ... While I loved Herman's Head, William Ragsdale was an awful lead actor. I mean, this is the same guy who teamed up with Terry Kiser in Mannequin 2 ... On the Move!

What a brilliant idea! The concept behind this show is so original and promising. The cast is great too - all capable actors. But one element was lacking. Anything remotely funny. The scripts were just terrible and the characters completely inconsistent. How I wanted to love this show!

Why can I not find this show in re-runs? I have such fond memories of it. I was in high school when it ran, and I really wish I could watch it, again. Fox had a lot of great Sunday night shows, back in the day. Most of them were actually pretty good. Too bad they never lasted more than a season or two.

This was one of the most overrated shows on television. Pretentious concept, wrapped in trite and puerile humour. I guess because it was slightly different to much of the other dross on television, people thought it must be good. But Seinfeld came along, and showed how good television could be, and this bit the dust, not a moment too soon. I couldn't watch Lisa Simpson for months after seeing this...

When the show entered its second season, the writers seemed to spend more time with the 'real' characters, and the 'mental' characters became simply color commentators. I thought the best part of the show was the time stuck inside Herman's Head.

"Herman's Head" never really jumped--the show itself, that is. The problem was, they changed the opening for the second season. The original opening explained the basic premise. You really needed that, in order to help attract new viewers. You could really get lost otherwise if you weren't familiar with the show. (Remember when the theme song of a show would explain the show's premise? Some of the great ones were "Gilligan's Island", "The Beverly Hillbillies", "Green Acres".... But I digress.)
