The Head

This show was really cool. I watched it every Saturday morning. The plot was so cool, it sucked you every time. I did start to get dull after the first season. It may have had something to do with the fact that season 1 was a mini-series and season 2 they made it into a normal series. I wish at least the first season would be released on DVD or something.

This was a really interesting show, probably one of the best MTV ever had. Too bad they canceled it, because it's a hell of a lot better than watching Real World 24 hours a day. I don't remember a whole lot about the show but I remember it had a cool story with great animation.

Lasted 2 seasons, the 1st collected on video and not sure about the 2nd. The first season was a complete story about the aliens' takeover attempt of Earth, Jim's befriending of the "Human Anomalies" club, and the race to assemble the Anti-Invasion device to save the world. 2nd season went downhill a little going episodic, exploring the origins of the other anomalies besides Jim, but still provided some swell prime-time adult animation and laughs. Too bad it was cancelled, as with all of MTV's best animated stuff.

I remember I loved this show, it was definitely unique and kept you watching each week - I rarely missed an episode. I'm not sure why a lot of the MTV animation went away, I guess it wasn't making enough money or something. If this series came out on DVD I would purchase it in a heartbeat.

I liked a lot of the animation, of course, Beavis and Butthead, some Daria, some Aeon Flux, but The Head was the one that kept me coming back time and time again.

However, I am looking forward to seeing the big screen adaptation of Aeon Flux. Charlize is a hottie, but she is also a great actress, and I can't think of a movie out there that she's been in that wasn't really good. Most every picture she's shown up in has been better because of her presence. I wonder who would star in The Head ...

I actually liked this show when it was on MTV (it atctually made MTV watchable again) because it is weird yet funny and cool. Only the first season though (the first 13 episodes that were later made into a video) is watchable. In which a regular guy named Jim starts to get very odd- his head is very very large and is holding an alien named Roy (which is short for some jubberish) who has come to Earth to stop another alien named Gork from destroying the world. Very odd, but usually funny in a crude way, especially when looking at the other freaks on the show (a guy with 5 ft. arms, one with a mouth in his stomach, another with a blade stuck in his head, another that looks like a rat, one woman with a dark secret with a tale and a guy who has a fishbowl in his mouth). A+
