Stay Tuned
Something Weird's On The Air.
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 eipsodes of Duane's Underworld, HTV, Northen Overxposure, Driving Over Miss Daisy, Underworld Werestling 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!

The Late John Ritter in his prime, This is a hilariously good movie that entertains the TV and Movie extremist such as myself. By watching this movie you'll understand what i mean...
If you like good screwball Humor and adventure Stay Tune incorporates both as a pair like Peanut butter and Jelly. The Best way to explain the movie would be: It makes sense to not do the thinking, but just go with the flow.John Ritter aids a very funny sci-fi comedy. - estefan
A very funny, criminally under-appreciated comedy, John Ritter gives a great performance as a suburban father obsessed with television and is soon trapped inside of a set. Th film moves at a nice, quick pace without spending longer than necessary on each little segment. The best bits are definitely the Chuck Jones-directed cartoon segment with Ritter as a mouse, a zombie parody of Wayne's World and a quick arrival on the Three's Company set. While this is un-doubtably a 90s film, its dateness actually adds to its charm and humour. This is really a highly enjoyable and entertaining comedy that any fan of television (or John Ritter, even) should definitely seek out.
