Summaries

A teen consumer information show interspersed with comedy.

In this series, the teen hosts of this show explore consumer issues concerning teens in the form of product tests, answering viewer consumer questions, showcasing teen entrepreneurs and environmental initiatives, examining advertising claims and identifying rip offs. Interspersed in each episode are comedy sketches that help illustrate consumer issues whether it be countering the schemes of the unscrupulous Buyco exec, Ken Pompadour or the misadventures of the hosts themselves.—Kenneth Chisholm <[email protected]>
