This is a parody of day time television. Jack Gable (John Candy) is a writer for a daytime drama. He bonks his head and then finds he in the daytime drama he is writing. He further discovers that he can manipulate the characters by what he writes. He has always had a crush on Laura Claybourne/ Rachel (Emma Samms) and writes them together, while another writer is writing different things. Gable is falling in love with Louise/Janet Dubois (Mariel Hemingway). At one point Gable is frustrated and breaks his typewriter. So he has to perform surgery on the typewriter so as to save Janet.
This show actually has some humor. And some very shallow soap box characters. And in the end one love story.
Robert Wagner has a cameo as the business man Jack Gates. Raymond Burr plays the father of the ruthless Hedison family.
