List of Off the Air episodes

Edit links
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
(Redirected from Off the Air season 10)

Off the Air is an American psychedelic anthology television series that aired on Adult Swim. Every episode is composed of surreal videos of different media and purposes – animated and live-action short films, clips from feature films and other television series, stock videos, music videos, abstract loops – presented continuously and in succession. These videos are arranged around a single vague theme, as expressed in the episode's title,[1] and are accompanied by songs by various artists.[2] Dave Hughes, the creator of the series, also serves as its editor.[3] He and the rest of the series' producers also commission artists to produce works to be featured in an episode.[1][4][5]

Fifty-two episodes have aired over thirteen seasons since Off the Air premiered on January 1, 2011. Every episode had a time slot of 4 a.m., which has contributed to the series' obscurity and status among fans of Adult Swim.[1] Three special episodes have been produced: "Dan Deacon: U.S.A.",[6] "Seramthgin", and "Dan Deacon: When I Was Done Dying".[3] The twentieth episode "NEWNOW" is a celebration of New Year's Day and the series' fifth anniversary featuring six original songs.[2]
