On the air is a comedy that David Lynch and Mark Frost recorded for the ABC in 1992 After Twin Peaks, but he wasn't the expected success and they were only issued 3 chapters of the 7 prints. We remember what was the incursion of Lynch in on television humor.
Javier J. Valencia, author of the book Twin Peaks, 625 lines in the future, He has written an article for the mocking bird where recalls and discusses On the air. For those who don't know the series (which was first issued in Spain Canal and later in the 2), I leave a brief introduction from the article.
Each episode In the air It was located in the filming of a television program of the year 50 called "The Lester Guy Show", a variety show in the style of the time which had as star to an old rundown film actor (Ian Buchanan, the seller of fashions at Peaks Dick Tremayne). Recorded live, the program did not have space for the mistake at least... something that was happening week after week, While the show was issued. All the team and players tried to solve the problem, causing real disasters, It turned to the fictitious program in an instant success.
I strongly recommend the article, that series like, its failure and the factors that led to it. And once read, If you want to take a look at the series, I leave the 7 chapters online (In English) This great little gem.
