The film stars John Ritter, Pam Dawber, Jeffrey Jones and Eugene Levy. Its plot follows television fanatic Roy Knable who gets a deal from a salesman, who is really an emissary from Hell, for a new high-tech satellite dish to gain as many exclusive channels as he wants. The dish then sucks Roy and his wife Helen into a hellish television world, where they must survive for twenty-four hours in order to be released from it. These experiences teach Roy a lesson about the dangers of too much TV. Stay Tuned was released in the United States on August 14, 1992, by Warner Bros. The film received mixed reviews from critics and was a commercial failure, grossing $12 million against a $15–20 million budget. A television series based on the film is in development for Hulu.
