Off the Air is an American anthology television series that airs 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]

Twenty episodes have aired over five seasons since Off the Air premiered on January 1, 2011. Every episode excluding the fourth episode "Space" has 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 five original songs, and an extended play based on the episode is set to be released by Williams Street Records.[2]
