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.

Trivia

Herman's Head is referenced in The Simpsons, when Lisa (voiced by Yeardley Smith) is asked what she is laughing at in one episode. Her response is that she has just remembered "Something I saw on Herman's Head".
