Stay Tuned is a highly memorable film from the early 90's.
The spoofs are brilliant and creative. Instead of Wayne's World on
Saturday Night Live, it's Duane's Underworld on Saturday Night Dead. Instead of
Driving Miss Daisy, it's Driving Over Miss Daisy. Instead of
Three Men and a Baby, it's Three Men and Rosemary's Baby. Instead of thirtysomething, it's
thirtysomething-to-life.
Seeing the channel on Hellvision called HTV, I assume it stands for Hellusic Television. Of all spoofs,
Duane's Underworld is my favorite, and I can see it as a viable movie. The sight of John Ritter being tied up
and wearing a shirt that says "Sphincter Boy" is hilarious along with the extreme close-up cam shots. Amusing also is his
reaction when he's transported to Three's a Company set, knowing it's the sitcom he's famously associated with.
All in all, I appreciate the ingeniousness of Stay Tuned which is one of the most entertaining satirical movies
made.
