This Cancelled David Lynch Sitcom Was Described as "'I Love Lucy' on Acid"
On the Air, developed by David Lynch and Mark Frost, was a surreal take on American sitcoms that was canceled after airing only three episodes.
It's safe to say that director David Lynch and writer Mark Frost were experiencing a boom in popularity after the initial success of the breakthrough series Twin Peaks. Unsurprisingly, this prompted ABC to greenlight another series developed by the duo, a little-known, short-lived sitcom called On The Air (1992). The pilot episode was voted number 57 out of TV Guide's "100 Greatest Episodes of All Time." Despite the accolade, only three of seven episodes aired in the U.S. between June 20 and July 4, 1992, but in the U.K., the series was shown in its entirety.
