Synopsis
John Ritter and Pam Dawber star as Roy and Helen Knable, a suburban American couple having marital problems. Roy has become a couch potato, and a resentful Helen wants him to ditch the remote. When the demonic Spike (Jeffrey Jones) offers Roy a deal on the ultimate satellite TV system, Roy doesn't realize that he's just signed away his soul. Roy and Helen are sucked into their own television, where they endure a gauntlet of Hellish television shows such as "Northern Overexposure" and "I Love Lucifer." When their kids Darryl (David Tom) and Diane (Heather McComb) realize that their parents are on the twisted television, they set out to rescue them. Stay Tuned contains several inspired delights, in particular an original cartoon short by Looney Tunes legend Chuck Jones. The film was the debut of writing team Tom S. Parker and Jim Jennewein, who would stay in the wacky comedy genre with a whopping four major releases in 1994.

Halle Berry Case: Stay Tuned?
SANTA MONICA, Calif., March 13, 2000 -- Looks like Halle Berry may have a few more days to contemplate on what to wear to court.
The Los Angeles County District Attorney's Office dispelled rampant reports that Berry would be charged as soon as today in an alleged felony hit-and-run case. Officials with the prosecutor's office told Hollywood.com that they did not anticipate filing any charges against the 33-year-old actress -- at least not today anyway.
Berry -- a no-show at Sunday's Screen Actors Guild Awards where she took honors (in abstentia) for her work in the HBO TV movie "Introducing Dorothy Dandridge" -- sustained a gash on her forehead during the two-car collision in West Hollywood, Calif., on Feb. 23. Crash investigators say they believe Berry fled the scene after running her rented Chevy Blazer into a passenger car motored by 27-year-old Hetal Raythatha.
