An organization with similarities to Scientology, called Selfosophy, was a central part of an episode from the second season of "Millennium" that aired on the Fox network on November 21, 1997, entitled "Jose Chung's "Doomsday Defense"." Selfosophy was created by a science fiction writer who had spent time in an insane asylum. Matt Roush of "USA Today" wrote that the episode was "written with the density of a "Simpsons" cartoon. You'll scream till you laugh, or laugh till you scream." Michael Patrick Sullivan writing for "Underground Online"/UGO wrote: "After a year and a half of doom and gloom stories, one of the most astounding television writers of the nineties, Darin Morgan, is allowed his fractured take on Millennium and Frank and author Jose Chung investigate murders that lead them deeply into the world of a pseudo-religion called Selfosophy (read as Scientology). Bizarre is exactly the word for it as Millennium takes sharp aim at itself and has fun with it."
