Kevin Somers, Jono
Gebert and Kevin Schenk are constantly waiting
for the bus as it's been over an hour as they're
late for their show and Les Lye plays a bus
inspector saying that the bus will be there about
40 feet while Christine is introducing the show
herself and improvising that she's talking to the
rest.
Eventually they make it and Somers spots some
quarters placed on the floor at the studio
leading to a box that has a 10 dollar bill and
he's trapped in it and taken away.
Miss Take notifies Mr. Dime that Somers was
kidnapped.
Ruth Buzzi's character as Aunt Agatha desperately
wants to find his nephew Somers and wants to kiss
him as she's usually after Marc Baillon but is in
the mood for brunettes this time.
Meanwhile, Somers is in a storage room listening
to loud music and eating pizza as Les Lye plays
the kidnapper and is annoyed by him and then a
brick with a letter comes crashing saying the
studio will negotiate for his release but Somers
says he won't negoatiate unless he gets him more
pizza.
Jono asks the bus
inspector if the busses run on time and he says
they always run on time and tells him it would be
better if they ran on wheels instead.
Christine helps
Agatha get ready to search for her nephew and
Christine asks if she will be ok as those people
are nasty but tells her they don't play bingo
like she does.
In a living room
skit Kevin Schenk arrives home late and Ruth
Buzzi as the moter asks why he's home so late and
he tells her he couldn't get on the bus cause all
dogs on the bus must be carried and he didn't
have a dog.
Agatha plays cards
with Somers and the kidnapper and she's always
winning and cleaning the kidnapper out of money
and won 10005 dollars.
Meanwhile at the studio Christine can't announce
we'll be right back making it longer before the
commercial break which Ruth Buzzi's character
Miss Time instructs her to do so and a brick
crashes in with a note.
After the commercial break and phone gets thrown
in instead of a brick where Somers is kidnapped
and the kidnapper says he's free to go but Somers
wants to stay and have more pizza.
Suddenly Mr. Dime gets a call with Agatha there
as the kidnapper offers him money and he refuses
to negoatiate since the show is less annoying
with him around.
Somers demands the kidnapper for more Pepsi after
he drank a gallon and the kidnapper still tries
to find some way to get rid of him even
threatening to cut his ear off but tells him the
phone company wouldn't like that and explains to
him why which could put the kidnapper in trouble.
During another
living room skit Lisa tells her Mom her Dad drove
off without her for arriving late when they were
out somewhere forgetting he retired from working
as a busdriver.
Jono is sent to a dungeon after not paying the
proper fare.
Another scene with Jono in the dungeon Mr. Nasti
says he has a letter which happens to be a chain
letter as he has a chain wrapped around his neck
with a big G.
Eventually Somers
accepts to be let go and returns to the studio
but no one misses him that much and in the end he
asks Ross for change for the bus and only has a
20 dollar bill so he cons him by giving him only
the change and nothing else and tells him he'd
better hurry before the bus leaves.

This episode was finally found in a
good quality thanks to a taping 20 years ago on YTV but sadly
the Cooper Brothers was taken
out and it only seemed to air once when it was on
that channel so thankfully someone got a hold of
it. It wasn't one of the most popular episodes
and can see why cause the story was very bland
going nowhere.
The Transit skits were originally
from the 1979 season of the sister show YCDTOTV's
"St. Patricks
Day" and was reshot for this one.
