This time Fearless Leader's plan is to hypnotize the American citizenry via "Really Bad Television" and then command it to elect him President. It doesn't quite wash--though Bullwinkle, naturally, thinks TV is as excellent as it was when he was a star. It suffices only to get the pair off on a cross-country odyssey aimed at thwarting the bad guys.

...walk through a city, you look through windows and wonder who is living there," says Romer. "That curiosity is completely satisfied by these shows." The residents will, barring emergencies, have no outside contact, except with the producers. They will harvest eggs from chickens, grow their own veggies and wash their clothes on washboards. And unlike on Survivor, they will be voted off by viewers (the last standing wins $500,000). They will be rejected by America...
