December 22, 2014Movies like this make me really wish John Ritter was still alive. He was so great and 'Stay Tuned' is a classic. Jeffrey Jones plays Spike, a demon who runs a television network for Satan's entertainment and tries to collect souls by bringing humans in and forcing them to try to survive for 24 hours before letting them go home. Ritter plays a career loser in a dead end job who just watches hour after hour of TV and can quote along with any old movie. He is married to Pam Dawber, a successful businesswoman who hates that her husband spends all his time watching TV and none of his time with her. After Spike convinces Ritter to take his satellite and new TV for a test drive, Ritter and Dawber get sucked in to their weird network called Hellvision and are forced to survive twisted versions of TV shows. They had several hilarious spoofs, like Three Men and Rosemary's Baby, and Duane's Underworld, among others. I highly recommend this movie to everybody.
