Each week, the series featured experimental short films by a mixture of up-and-coming and established directors. Notable instalments included a film featuring comic actor Bill Irwin breaking out of his reality and crossing into the reality of other PBS series such as Sesame Street. Another instalment was directed by Jonathan Demme. Arguably the series' best-known episode was What You Mean We? a short film written by, directed by, and starring Laurie Anderson and aired in 1986. Anderson later came back to host the final season of the series in 1987, assisted by "The Clone", a masculine version of Anderson created by digitally altering her image and obscuring her voice.
