Stay Tuned

Starring: John Ritter, Pam Dawber, Jeffrey Jones, et al.

Product Description

Couch potato Roy Knable (John Ritter) has entered a new dimension in TV viewing - on the other side of the screen. If he survives, he can return home. If not, like a show with no audience, he'll be cancelled...for good! The satellite dish Roy just bought on a free trial offer has sucked him and wife Helen (Pam Dawber) into a hilariously bizarre teleworld. The Knables zap through epsodes of Duane's Underworld, HTV, Northern Overexposure, Driving Over Miss Daisy, Underworld Wrestling Foundation, the animated Robocat (supervised by Chuck Jones) and more, all programmed by a devilish exec (Jeffery Jones). Demonically directed by Peter Hyams (End Of Days), Stay Tuned is sublime spoofery. Bet your remote on it!.

Customer Reviews

666 channels are a "hell" of a lot.

Roy Knable (John Ritter) of “Real Men” (1987) fame is a plumbing supplies salesman, and he does not like his job. So, he buries himself on TV. His wife, Helen (Pam Dauber) of “Vampires of Sorority Row” (1999) fame, thinks Roy is not a doer anymore, and he is not fun. He just will not talk to her during double overtime. Spike (Jeffery Jones), you may recognize him as the principal in “Ferris Bueller's Day Off” (1986), recognizes a soul-snatching opportunity when he sees one. He offers Roy 666 channels that are not seen on regular TV. The creators of this movie were creative with the channel selection. Surprise, Roy & Helen are drawn into TV land where they are destined to wander from channel to channel until they learn a little about themselves and each other. Spike is sort of hoping to bump them off in one of several ways before 24 hours is up. Will Spike have his way? Will Roy realize the error of his ways? Will Helen get blown up and run over? Stay tuned.
