Dream On.... Much Underated 90's TV Show

This show is like the male version of SEX AND THE CITY, depicting the life and times of a 30-something literary type who whittles away the hours masterminding ways to hook up with the opposite sex. Both shows also employ the use of ample nudity and simulated sex, though DREAM ON certainly was first to attempt it. Martin Tupper (Brian Benben) is a divorced book publisher who tries as best he can to raise a teenage son (Chris Demetral) and remain friends with his psychotherapist ex-wife Judith (Wendie Malick). Though he frequently is shown dating and seducing many a woman, he is not-so secretly still in love with Judith. This passion burns all the more brightly when she marries a brilliant scientific genius that annoyingly embodies the idea of Renaissance Man. This story is punctuated by Martin's subconscious, which often takes the form of interjected old movie clips (similar to the quirky daydreams that gave Ally McBeal such a charmingly complex personality). The dated sound bytes from the films juxtaposed with modern scenarios, draws some serious giggles. Many of these episodes were directed and produced by John Landis.

Great Stuff!

Dream On

I absolutely love this series having discovered it quite by accident back in the early 90's on Channel 4, but I found it to be one of the most original and, more importantly, funniest comedy's ever. These days, I guess maybe the subtlety of the humour is a little diluted because audiences have already feasted on The Office and Curb Your Enthusiasm. Each time I watched the episodes (I still have many on tape), I found new gags that I hadn't spotted the previous time. And the gags I already knew still made me laugh out loud. The characters are well fleshed out, the plot-lines clever and it is a joy to see references made to events from much earlier episodes (a la The Simpsons). If you drop into an episode halfway through the series, lots of the gags may well fall flat. So, my recommendation is to start at the very beginning, then sit back and enjoy......
