Martin Tupper is a book editor in Manhattan, recently divorced from Judith, a psychologist. Martin's life is filled with fantasies and sexual thoughts, many times coming in the form of black-and-white shots from old TV shows and movies.
The show has its weak spots, most notably in a pointless tendency to be smarmy.... But "Dream On" takes unusual chances and has a habit of turning out to be refreshingly original.
At its worst, it can be the aforementioned au naturel Three's Company, but at its best it cuts up television, and other forms of consumerist greed, with surgical skill.
