You never tried to ask Maharishi about any of his pet projects that had been failures, right? Total loss of memory. :-) > As for the shoq I really was reminded of NBC's "My Own > Worst Enemy."

Like John From Cincinnati it plays with interesting ideas. But JFC flopped. So this one might, too. The problem with the premise is that the American public wants "instant payoff" in a TV series. They often want to understand everything in the first or second episode. So that's tough for creators like Joss Whedon or Alan Ball or David Milch who like to "take their time" developing characterization and plot.
