Does anyone remember Herman's Head?

I loved this show when it was on Fox, but it seems to have disappeared since. It was on for 3 or 4 years, and I expected to see it syndicated to some cable network, but no-one has picked it up since the show's demise almost a decade ago.

Does anyone here remember Herman's Head?

It was a fairly clever show with a GREAT cast (most have done many other things since - you hear a couple of them doing voice work all the time on TV and the radio).

I'm really surprised that this show hasn't surfaced on cable yet...

Only 72 episodes. Difficult to get syndicated with that. But, yeah, I remember it. Good concept. Hit or miss with the humor. I enjoyed watching it.

I remember it as well. One of the cast was on Will and Grace last week as the gardener with the perfect lettuce or whatever he was growing. He was the smart guy in Herman's Head.

Didn't that show have Yeardley Smith (aka Lisa Simpson's voice)?

I kinda liked that one.

Yeardley Smith .... Louise Fitzer

They syndicated My Two Dads, which only had something like 50 episodes, to USA networks, so compared to that 72 episodes is a lot.

I'm really surprised that NO ONE has picked this up, especially with a concept that unique, and a cast that good.

Don't forget about one more great cast member -

Edward Winter (Col Flagg on M.A.S.H.) as Mr. Crawford (the company boss). He always called Herman "Sherman."

I might actually buy this show on DVD if someone was crazy enough to release season box sets. (I don't think anyone is THAT crazy, though...)

Sure, I remember this show. I think it was on before or after Parker Lewis can't lose for a season or two on FOX Sunday's.

I think Ken Hudson Campbell is doing voiceover work for every third ad on the radio.

I loved that show when it was on. It would be great if it ever got syndicated, but I doubt it ever will unfortunately
