BlazeLime Strong and Moving!

Ceticultsot Beautiful, moving film.

Baseshment I like movies that are aware of what they are selling... without [any] greater aspirations than to make people laugh and that's it.

Nicole I enjoyed watching this film and would recommend other to give it a try , (as I am) but this movie, although enjoyable to watch due to the better than average acting fails to add anything new to its storyline that is all too familiar to these types of movies.

SnoopyStyle Herman Brooks (William Ragsdale) is a lowly fact checker at a publishing house. He works under the encyclopedic Mr. Paul Bracken (Jason Bernard) along with selfish bitch Heddy Newman (Jane Sibbett) and awkward virgin Louise Fitzer (Yeardley Smith). His best friend is sleazy writer Jay Nichols (Hank Azaria). The show goes inside Herman's head with conflicting psyche; Sensitivity (Molly Hagan), Lust (Ken Hudson Campbell), Anxiety (Rick Lawless), and Intellect (Peter Mackenzie).The premise of inside Herman's head has some good fun. On the other hand, the basic sitcom premise lacks needed romantic possibilities for Herman. I definitely don't want Herman with Louise. Heddy is such a bitch that any relationship is doomed from the start. It's not love-hate. It's just hate-hate. The show tries to put them together a couple times but in general, the coupling is horrible. The odd thing is that there is a perfect partner in the pilot. Connie is sleazy Jay's girlfriend when she falls for Herman. I really like the pilot and the show misses that character. Jay is such an annoying jerk that it actually detracts from my love of Herman. I don't see the friendship in them. The unique premise has some fun but ultimately, the chemistry in the sitcom isn't that good. Jennifer Aniston has a minor role as Herman's little sister.

elshikh4 For unexplained reason, this was being aired at nearly 3 Am on our national television. Maybe they had no empty time for a sitcom like it. Or maybe that was the perfect time for a sitcom about mind! Anyway, that gave me the chance to follow it peacefully in the depth of the night like a special treat, particularly when it was airing daily.This is simply about Herman and his mind. His mind's residents are maybe the rarest group of characters in sitcom history; Angel (Sensitivity), Animal (Lust), Wimp (Anxiety) Genius (Intellect). You have to love a funny facing to your own thinking like this. I bet, it is the closest of what (Sigmund Freud) might have wanted from a sitcom !I was waiting for any scene that got (Yeardley Smith) in it. She, as (Louise) the sidekick, was totally adorable; her magical voice, miniature features, perfect attitude, and tender charisma, all agglutinated me to my seat every single episode to enjoy her presence and performance. The best thing was that she smartly knew how to make you laugh at her or sympathy with her in the same time. The mind's inhabitants were beautifully selected, constantly comic and in harmony. On the contrary (William Ragsdal), as the title character, was flat, being the less talented amongst all the good cast. While the main idea was genius, was it ready to continue ?! I mean the appearance of all our minds' rulers in conflict and discussion all the way was great imagination and cute fun apart, but with not many renewals, the show adhered to the same formula of having something happens to Herman, then some jokes about it from the crazy bunch in his head. That made the 4 "head" characters imprisoned in the same place, and case, just about every time ! Although cancellation is not always well news, but I think that helped the show to be a fine memory without any malformation or desperate desire to be on air by any cost. I read that if the show got a fourth season, there was going to be a second set of head characters introduced !! Thank got that that didn't happen. It's like adding a new "girl" car in the last season of (Knight Rider) beside the "male" car (K.I.T.T) because of some weariness hit badly. Here there would have been another 4 characters in another head ! Well, I believe every show has hypothetical age before its inevitable expiration date. And 3 seasons were enough age for Herman's Head before any possible dullness !(Herman's Head) was a wonderful original sitcom. The writers pulled it off as a light comedy with exceptional perspective. It was great that it managed to survive for 71 episodes (at first it looked like the ones that last for only 13 !). And it was good also to stop at that number, otherwise we would have hated Herman, his Head, and their writers !

Paul-308 An excellent comedy that I watched religiously.I think I saw every episode.The tension between Heddy and Herman was so thick.....and the occasional interruption by know it all Bracken was a good "break".The ever so Lisa Simpson-ish Louise was a very unique charmer,in her own way....but those 4 people in Hermans Head.....you always looked forward to seeing them pop up...There has been no program like it....before or after.The opening segment was much better in the early episodes,it was more an upbeat,alive music...sorta got you jumping..

rlcsljo When the Fox Network went on the air, it seemed like it was trying to attract viewers with "something different". The result was shows like "Herman's Head".Although it featured a "Dobie Gillis" like situation--an ambitious bombshell who was "unattainable" and an "ordinary" girl who was sweet, but really loved him, this show added something way out of the ordinary: A "Greek chorus" that revealed his "true" thoughts, instead of Herman giving asides to the camera.A nice touch was including in the chorus a female to give his "feminine" side.This nice touch pulled this rather ordinary sitcom out of the muck and gave it a nice spin that worked most of the time.Its too bad Fox did not keep up this phase, because I believe television would have been much the better for it.
