Trapped in the bizarre world of television, our young heroes (Jack, Joyce, and John) have only one hope of escape. They must unmask the illusion of the television world as they have entered a fantasy world where commercials are real, cartoons are real, and crime dramas are real. This program uses humor and fantasy to engage children and convey the truth about TV, including who pays for it, producers' motivations, violence, commercials and cartoons. The take-away is that TV is not real, and that children should view programs and commercials with a critical eye.
