Diablo Cody's New Sci-Fi Showtime Show, The United States Of Tara

There's a promo type-thing for the Steven Spielberg-thought-up, Diablo Cody-written, Toni Collette-starring Showtime show The United States Of Tara, about a suburban mom with multiple personalities. And also an odd close-up of Diablo's tattoos:

Cool. That looks like a funny show. Multiple personalities don't actually exist, of course, and have been a joke since the '80s, but if we think of it like that movie where Michael Keaton makes a bunch of copies of himself, or that movie where Jim Carrey can't lie, or that movie where Bill Murray has a lot of Groundhog Days, or that HBO show where that Mormon guy has three pretty wives, this show could be perfectly enjoyable.
