Watch: Stay Tuned 1992 123movies, Full Movie Online – The Knables are having marriage problems: Roy is a lousy plumbing supplies salesman by day and couch potato by night, and his wife, Helen, is a successful senior product manager for a vitamin company. Roy watches too much TV every night and Helen just cannot stand it. Then one night, Helen offers Roy a night to save their relationship: a romantic getaway without phones, their children, and especially no TV. Unfortunately, when Roy’s hooked on the big screen, there’s no going back. This frustrates and angers her and Helen decides to smash the family console with one of Roy’s trophies as a wake-up call to reality. A heartbroken-to-disoriented Roy then hears the doorbell and finds out that it’s a mysterious salesman named Spike who offers him the “ultimate getaway” from all the hate, frustration, and failures: a new remote controller and a new state-of-the-art satellite TV. Roy accepts the new TV by signing a free trial contract not knowing that he just sold his soul to the devil himself. But later, Helen is both not impressed and steamed. After a fight outside, the “dish” activates. Roy and Helen try as hard as possible to escape, but it was too late for the force of gravity from the dish sucks them into the “Cable Television World of Hell” – all six hundred and sixty-six channels worth. Now they must survive through every episode of shows such as the game show “You Can’t Win”, the U.W.W.F. (Underworld Wrestling Federation) match, “Northern Overexposure”, “Driving Over Miss Daisy” and a cartoon sequence called “RoboCat”, “Autopsies of the Rich and Famous”, “Duane’s Underworld”, “HTV”, and “Off With His Head”, all within 24 hours. If successful, they will return back to home, but if they fail, the devil keeps their souls forever. After they survived one day without harm, Roy gets sent back home while Spike hold Helen hostage. Now with the help of their children, Daryl, a communication whiz, and Diane, a fashion freak, Roy must re-enter the underworld of Hell Vision TV and save his wife, while keeping a distance from Spike. It is then that Roy will learn the hard way that there’s more things in life than only a television. Like commitment. (Formerly written by Christopher Howell).
Plot: Salesman Roy Knable spends all his free time watching television, to the exasperation of his wife, Helen. One day, TV salesman Spike convinces Roy to buy a satellite dish offering 666 channels. The new addition to Roy’s home entertainment system sucks him and Helen into Hellvision, a realm run by Spike, who is an emissary of Satan. For 24 hours, the couple must survive devilish parodies of TV programs if they want to return to reality alive.

Great movie!
Stay Tuned is a excellent movie! John Ritter, Pam Dawber, and Eugene Levy was good. Jeffrey Jones performed well. I like how the film was made. The scenes were really cool and the segment of Duane’s Underworld was really funny! The wrestling match segment was awesome! George Gray played Mr. Gorgan. He was better known in the old wrestling days (when it was special in My opinion) of the WCW in the early 1990s as The One Man Gang and in the old WWF days in the 1980s as The One Man Gang and “The African Dream” Akeem! It was so cool seeing this 6’6, 400 plus pound wrestler because he is one of My all time favorites and also it was good to see Captain Lou Albano! Good music by Bruce Broughton and direction by Peter Hyams! Anyway, there is a whole bunch in the movie and is all I can say is that if you like Ritter, Dawber, Levy, and Jones and want a wild ride of a movie then I suggest you see Stay Tuned!
Great Premise Disappoints
STAY TUNED offers a great comedic premise. John Ritter is a couch potato extraordinaire who gets what he may have long wished for when he is literally sucked into the 500-channel universe. Trouble is, this cable package is straight from h-e-double-hockey-sticks, with shows like “Duane’s Underworld” and “Meet the Mansons.” Along with wife Pam Dawber, he must survive 24 hours or be, to borrow a TV term, canceled.The problem is, STAY TUNED never really capitalizes on this joke-rich notion. It starts out strong, but the continual TV parodies are often lame and gradually grow tiresome. The likable Ritter tries hard, he really does, but this material is far beneath him. Some of it is lightly funny, in a “Cracked” magazine kind of way, but most of it is not. And because it’s basically a family film, things stay too tame to really please grown-ups.
Die-hard Ritter fans, 12-year-olds and staunch couch potatoes will get the most out of STAY TUNED. And although there’s been much worse emitted from Hollywood, the rest of us are generally disappointed.
