Dream On is an American adult situation comedy about Martin Tupper, a dreamer whose life is full of colorful characters. It ran for six seasons between 1990 and 1996.
The show dealt with themes centered around Martin Tupper's living in an apartment in New York City with his teenage son, and relating to his ex-wife, while trying to date other women and succeed as an editor for a small book publisher.

This was possible because it was on a pay-cable channel, rather than free network TV.
