Synopsis
Research assistant Herman Brooks works in the fact-checking department of a major magazine publisher, Waterton Publishing. Herman, from all outward appearances, embodies the ultimate young man on the fast track--ambitious, clever and sensible--but viewers are shown that, as in everyone, a struggle of contrasting personality traits are constantly working, and most often arguing, inside his head. His decisions and actions are dramatized with a "Greek chorus"-style interpretation of his thought processes.
The series begins with Herman as mild-mannered, but a typical guy in the sense of giving into every passing sexual desire, bedding a lot of women and not being above bending the truth about his life or career status in order to impress a woman. He did make attempts to settle down every once in a while, which wasn't hard due to his overall willingness to turn a strictly physical connection into love. However, despite his romantic repertoire with women, he would sometimes lose them over comical misunderstandings that would often never be resolved. These usually occurred as a result of Herman's boyish innocence getting him into trouble. During the next couple of seasons, Herman evolves into a more edgy character, more apt to developing outlandish schemes that would attempt to further him in his career as well as with women, and he becomes more opinionated in situations where previously, he would have conformed to rules, or have been a "yes man".
