Off the Air

One of the best new shows out there that are really REALLY "out there." Themes are present in each episode with short clips culled from internet videos, short films, and other found footage accompanied by great editing that may not be revolutionary but it sure is entertaining and offers more to the uniqueness of this all too short trip.

Late night programming for lost souls who don't mind mind-game adventures through Alice's looking glass. I used to dream of doing these types of collages of "best-of" moments in cinema's history set to the techniques of plunderphonics. The creators of this series gives me hope that I can only reach the heights that they could reach in a very short time.

Not one episode has let me down but there is always room for improvement, somehow if Adult Swim gives them another season or two I feel they'll reach great heights in the realm of mind-altering entertainment. P.S., love the ambient techno/space rock soundtracks.

Stock footage in weird mix/edits. And in between some animation sequences that are not very creative, with a rather bland style and low-level technique re the underlying artwork.

Even if I was watching this on acid, I'd be either bored out of my mind (that's really something) or -more likely- this would be so annoying that I'd rather do anything else.

There's nothing edgy about this. You can talk about psychedoodles all you want, -it's hard to see why this show exists. It's plain bad. Not "so bad it's good. Not "you have to be high to get it". Just not well made and -in whichever way you look at it- not very entertaining.

If you're looking for an alternative, I would highly recommend The Midnight Gospel. The first episode is a bit meh compared to the rest. My favourite is the last episode.

A random amount of psychedelic shorts in various forms from animated to claymation to NASA videos to music videos and many other forms, pertaining to a specific theme for each episode.

I have not been let down by any of the episode so far. My only complaint is that each episode is only around 10 minutes long, I wish they were longer(that's what she said).

Every episode has its own theme and vary in content greatly, except that they all share the psychedelic experience in common. Perfect for watching sober, even better with some help... Great job!

I have my dvr set to record every episode, new or re-run, they are instant classics for the psychedelic community! Trip on.

It shows exactly what my mind secretly craves. To get our attention, good show usually has to have complicated plot, sophisticated dialogues, well-written characters and such. But those visuals are so surreal and sophisticated you realize your mind is fully occupied! For me it was a beautiful and exciting realization. I want more of it and i want more stuff like that. One of the best shows ever!

I'm coming to this show a bit late, but can say knowing Adult Swim's history it's no surprise this fits right in to their roster as they tend to showcase shorts and shows that delve into the psychedelic and surreal side of humour. Point of interest: some of the "dialogue", which sound like crank calls, are actually clips from Longmont Potion Castle albums, who is basically the Dali of crank calling.
