On the Air is an American television sitcom created by Mark Frost and David Lynch. It was broadcast from June 20 to July 4, 1992 on the American Broadcasting Company (ABC). The series follows the staff of a fictional 1950s television network, Zoblotnick Broadcasting Company (ZBC), as they produce a live variety show called The Lester Guy Show, often with disastrous results. On the Air was produced by Lynch/Frost Productions and followed Lynch and Frost's previous series, Twin Peaks. A total of seven episodes were produced; only three were aired on ABC, though the full run were broadcast in the United Kingdom and other European countries.
The series stars Ian Buchanan, Marla Rubinoff, Nancye Ferguson, Miguel Ferrer, Gary Grossman, Mel Johnson Jr., Marvin Kaplan, David L. Lander, Kim McGuire and Tracey Walter. David Lynch directed the pilot, while the remaining episodes were directed by others, including Lesli Linka Glatter and Jonathan Sanger, who had both previously directed episodes of Twin Peaks.
Discussing the show, Lynch said that "absurdity is what I like most in life, and there's humor in struggling in ignorance. If you saw a man repeatedly running into a wall until he was a bloody pulp, after a while it would make you laugh because it becomes absurd. But I don't just find humor in unhappiness – I find it extremely heroic the way people forge on despite the despair they often feel."
Characters
Lester Guy (Ian Buchanan), a washed-up British movie star who stayed stateside during World War II and made a name for himself because every Hollywood leading man was off fighting the war. He is the star of The Lester Guy Show, but is outshone by supporting actress Betty Hudson. He often plots to increase his popularity, or to sabotage Betty. He frequently winds up with a head injury.
Betty Hudson (Marla Rubinoff), an ingénue with no acting experience. She quickly earns a tremendous fan base due to her simple gentleness, unintentionally overshadowing Lester, who feels threatened.
Bud Budwaller (Miguel Ferrer), the president of Zoblotnick Broadcasting Corporation. He discovers washed-up actor Lester Guy drinking vodka from a frozen orange juice can in West Hollywood; hoping for a promotion, Budwaller introduces Lester to Mr. Zoblotnick, the president of the network, knowing that Zoblotnick is a fan of Lester's performance in a WWII-era musical. As Betty's popularity grows, Budwaller fears losing his job.
Nicole Thorne (Kim McGuire), Zoblotnick Broadcasting Corporation's Head of Comedy. She worries that if The Lester Guy Show fails she will lose her job, and goes along with Lester and Budwaller's plans to "break" Betty.
Dwight McGonigle (Marvin Kaplan), the oft-flustered producer of The Lester Guy Show, frequently bewildered.
Valdja Gochktch (David L. Lander), Mr. Zoblotnick's nephew and director of The Lester Guy Show. He speaks English with a near-incomprehensible accent, and lives in abject fear of Bud Budwaller.
Ruth Trueworthy (Nancye Ferguson), production assistant on The Lester Guy Show. She is also the assistant director because she is the only person who can understand Mister Gotchktch.
Bert Schein (Gary Grossman), a supporting actor on The Lester Guy Show.
Billy "Blinky" Watts (Tracey Walter) and Mickey (Mel Johnson Jr.), technicians for The Lester Guy Show. Blinky is repeatedly stated throughout the show to have a condition called "Bozeman's simplex", which allows him to see 25.62 times as much as other people do.
Shorty (Irwin Keyes), a burly stagehand.
The Hurry Up Twins (Raleigh Friend and Raymond Friend), a pair of conjoined twins who wear a two-necked sweater at all times.
Snaps the Dog, a canine actor introduced in the first episode as the reluctant "spokesdog" for The Lester Guy Show sponsor Welby Snap's brand dog food.

Reception
When it first aired, Ken Tucker of Entertainment Weekly gave it a positive B+ review, writing, "On the Air is a one-joke sitcom that makes explicit the message that... TV is stupid, and people will watch anything. Its undisguised contempt is pretty enthralling."
In 2008, Keith Phipps of The A.V. Club wrote: "On the Air is filled with endearing characters and memorably odd touches."
In 2017, Daniel Kurland of Den of Geek wrote that "On the Air's pilot is its strongest episode […] the content slowly goes downhill as the show continues. This isn't exactly unexpected, as other writers tried to play with the pilot's strong voice and fumbled under the pressure, but you're still getting something uniquely different every week, and that should be exciting in itself. There is a degree of joy and surprise around this comedy that is sorely absent from the majority of TV these days."
Les Inrockuptibles called it "Lynch's forgotten series" while David Foster Wallace found it was a "mercifully ablated TV program".
