The cinema realizers do not remain always cloistered in this audio-visual medium and it happens sometimes that one does not intend any more to speak about someones... The reason of this absence can be the preparation of short films, series or even telefilms for television. This enables them to breath a little bit and to avoid the large sollicitations of the productions firms.

Thus David Lynch has much invested in this way. The televiewers will retain of him the series worship " Twin Peaks " (1990-91) which upset the soap opera which became well too pompous.

But Twin Peaks is not the only joker of Lynch, as we can see with the Figaro Magazine, for his tenth anniversary, ordering in 1988 a short film to Lynch: " The cowboy and the Frenchman ", whose topic is " France seen by..." leaving an absolute freedom to the realizer.

After the success - critical and non-financial - of Twin Peaks, Lynch tries to create a new humorous series on the concept of of television chains in the fifties. Thus in 1992, one sees " One the air ".

He will also make a documentary on deep America (in 1992) whose name is " American chronicles ", as well as a telefilm with sketches (several small stories) which is called " Hotel room " (1993).
