On the Air (1992)
3/10
Scorsese and Soap
17 October 2022
Unfortunately the best thing about the series was the opening credits and theme song; sort of a cross between "Taxi Driver" and "As the World Turns". Being a Lynch/Frost production a lot of expectation was in the air. But humor on their part should have been left to the implied sort. The initial concept was a great one and perhaps someday someone will take a less farcical approach.

Lynch/Frost did produce a beautiful docu-series around this time called American Chronicles, which was an impressionistic look at unusual subjects, using a minimum of narration, and emphasizing intriguing images and music. Worth finding the rare episodes around.
