Mr. Dime says to the audience that he cancelled WTYO and nearly introduces the next show and suddenly Christine, Kevin Schenk, Kevin Somers and Jono Gebert break through the TV screen and have a feeling that their boss doesn't like them too much before the opening credits starts to roll.

Then Ross anounces that he closed the studio and the kids are not getting paid but going on vacation with him.
But suddenly a casting director for a TV commercial named Roger talks to Mr Dime about hiring one of the kids for their cereal commercial by the name of Kevin so Mr. Dime calls up Miss Take to find Kevin Somers.
Ross demands the kids to return to the studio while they're in the cafeteria and Lois is surprised that they licked all their plates clean due to depression on the studio being closed.
Ross tricks Kevin Somers into having him for an agent for commercials but cons him into paying him 20 dollars in advance.
Kevin Schenk tries to get Ross into putting him in the commercial but he refuses and then Roger along with Miss Time asks Kevin to come onto the stage to try out for the part of the commercial and so Somers comes dressed in a suit and dances on the stage but Roger however isn't happy with him due to his size so he tells him to get off the stage and asks for the runt Schenk as he tells him he's going to have his own commercial while Somers cries on Christine's shoulder.
Roger demands Schenk to eat the cereal and smile but he says the cereal is gross and refuses to eat it unless he pays him but of course Roger tells him they are paying him and to eat it and smile so Kevin gives a fake cheesy smile.
Next Schenk takes a motuh full and a toy dinosaur bites his mouth which is the prize inside.
Then he is asked to eat a bowl of dirt which is why the cereal is called Whole Earth and Schenk is about to gulp down a worm.
Schenk finally does his part right when he talks about Whole Earth cereal but when he takes a mouth full the dinosaur bites his mouth but still carries on even if he was in pain and Mr. Dime is happy that his commercial finally aired and tells Miss Take about it and what his sponsor said.

Suddenly Roger wants to shoot another commercial and good ole Mom played by Ruth Buzzi about her pies as she pies Somers and Christine in the face when they comment on her pies that they're not like the way as Janie's Mom's pies and so she asked Janie's Mom what she uses and tell her that she uses McSplat's Deep and Delicious pies but then she is about to pie Schenk in the face with that brand but Schenk is hesitant but demands him to say his speech which is asking if he can have more pie and splats him in the face and then repeats the pie in the face with them on McSplat's Pies telling her they always ask for more although Schenk tries to prevent being splattered in the face again.

Other memorable skits include Kevin Schenk asking his father if he can watch some educational TV and he refuses as he tells him he has to watch all the commercials.

Then there's a Canadian Express Card that the Mother tries to give Senator Prevort in the dungeon for not paying her fee's.

Jono eats his food in the cafeteria making out that is loves the food and Lois asks if he wants a second plate on the house but Jono tells her the food is still gross as he was practising for a commercial.

Miss Fidt demands Kevin Somers to take a bite of his ceral and talk with his mouth full while telling her an answer to a question if he wants to get a success in a commerical gig.

The old lady in the theatre blows her nose on her shirt when Christine asks her if she has a kleenex and she tells her she does but not for her.

Jono and Kevin Somers are chained up in a dungeon as Jono needs to go to the bathroom but has to wait till the commerical break.

This full episode exists but it's only a promotional copy thanks to the old CTV studio which they had stored away. The show has a time counter on it and doesn't have the music for the opening and closing credits along with the music for the commercial breaks. Plus the canned laughter wasn't added to top it off but it's in crystal clear quality.
There's also a
YTV taping in 1989 by Dan Savoie but there's a light buzzing sound in the backgrapund and Alma Faye's performance was cut out due to some technical problems while taping it. The quality was a 7 out of a 10.

We have Alma Faye Brooks performing without a back up band on the dome stage since there are disco dancers performing with her which gave a nice 70's magical feel to the show.

Also a skit towards the end played by Ruth Buzzi as a Mom pieing her kids in the face for a commercial was originally used in the "St. Patricks Day" in the first season of it's sister show You Can't Do That On Television but played by Cindy Kennedy who did not perform nowhere near as well like Buzzi did and was in rough shape too.
