    Off the air is an incredibly hard show to explain. Through various internet clips and animations, Off the air guides us on a surreal and sometimes even terrifying journey through various loose themes, such as Liquid, Shapes, and Worship. Each episode contains anywhere from 7 to 15 shorts, each one usually memorable and unique, while rarely ever lasting too long to get boring. There are a couple duds in the series where the clips last too long and don't go anywhere (notably "Holes"), but overall this show is one of the most strange and beautiful TV shows you will ever see.

    I've been keeping up with this show since late 2012. I have loved just about every episode of the show. It is a psychedelic experience without the drugs. You will be amazed and you will be disturbed. Your mind will be blown. The show is a collaboration of random shorts found on the internet and other various places mixed with trippy music videos and other off the wall stuff coupled with lots of "datamosh" transitions and a large variety of other crazy effects.I would advise reviewing each episode for yourself before you show your kids any of them. There can be some very disturbing segments of the show.I would recommend almost every episode of this show to anyone. The reason I say almost is because, in my opinion, the episode "Light" was a bit bland for my taste. But any other episode is definitely worth your time. You yourself may even enjoy the episode "Light"! Some may argue that you need to be high to get any enjoyment out of these shorts but I for one enjoy them just as much when I'm sober. Each episode is a thrill ride in itself and I tend to watch them over and over again. The transitions and animations never cease to amaze me.

    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.

    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.
