THE 90s – EPISODE 109:  OFFBEAT TV

Tom Weinberg, Joel Cohen, US, 1989, 59min

An hour of TV about TV.

“Easily the most important and innovative news show on the air, a show that does all the things that television was born to do but never does.”—Michael Dare, Billboard, August 25, 1990.

A pioneering award-winning weekly series piquing curiosity and challenged ideas about the world. 

THE 90’s was independently produced and broadcast on PBS in primetime nationwide, featuring the kind of videos most people didn’t know existed. This was before cell phones, before the Internet, before YouTube, the Daily Show, or “reality tv.”
