The Head

1994–1996 · 2 seasons

A goofy, fast-paced cartoon romp full of weird mutants and crude gags that plays like late-night MTV comedy.

Overview: Jim (The Head) is an animated mutant super-hero with an insanely large cranium. A freak encounter left him with a problem. A big one: he's got an alien named Roy living inside his oversized dome.
How it feels: Absurd, satirical, light and campy. Brisk and easy to follow.
About: Identity, friendship, isolation, survival
Content: Mild violence, sexual content and language. No gore.
Note: Written by AI, so it can be wrong. Full breakdown
