David Lynch, the bizarre mind behind Eraserhead and Twin Peaks, is known for making the unknown but frightening and also endearing. But I bet you didn't know that while Twin Peaks was finishing its 2nd season, David Lynch was busy making an entirely new show all about the making of television and how much of a pain it can be.

"On The Air" (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/On_the_Air_(TV_series)) was the physical incarnation of David Lynch's love-hate-relationship with television and boy did people do a lot more loving than hating this show.
