Sella,
Four stars.
That show was called Herman's Head and I believe it was indeed the beginning
of the trend that was later modified by Ally McBeal. I thought of it too,
and thought Andy Richter seemed sort of a blend of it, Drew Carey, and a
couple of other things.

Yes, the whole imagination coming alive gimmick is totally derivative,
starting as far as I know with Ally McBeal (Fox) and seen most recently in a
failed(?) sitcom called Inside Schwartz, which at least had a common theme
for his fantasies (all sports-related). Why in the world did Fox feel the
need to make a pure copy? Too bad, because Andy Richter is actually pretty
funny.
[I remember a sitcom years ago where different parts of the main character's
psyche were played by six other actors (the snivelling coward, the thinker,
the feminine side, the carnal appetites guy, etc.), and as the main
character was going through the story line, whenever he was faced with a
decision or unexpected situation, it would cut to the psyche characters who
debated how to respond according to their part. Maybe this was the actual
beginning of the trend.]
