Twin Peaks On The Air Though by far the most famous, Twin Peaks wasn’t the only David Lynch/Mark Frost co-production. They also teamed up for the documentary Hugh Hefner: Once Upon A Time and the Fox documentary series American Chronicles. I’ve never seen the Hefner doc and only vaguely recall American Chronicles. I just remember lots of slow-motion footage and ambient music, though the IMDb reminded me that it was narrated by Richard Dreyfuss and featured an episode on Mardi Gras. But I’ve always had a soft spot for the team’s final TV collaboration, On The Air, a sitcom about the early days of television. In this I might be alone, or if there’s anyone else out there who likes the show, we’ve never met. Set in 1957, the show rarely strays from the set of its show-within-a-show, The Lester Guy Show. Intended as a vehicle for down-on-his-luck.
