Aliens from the planet Philo have been studying our world for years and decide to create a duplicate Earth--but it?s based on our television programs instead of real life! The aliens place three Earth children on TV Planet and observe as they interact with television characters from a soap opera, action drama, cartoon, and commercials. On their journey, the children learn critical viewing skills and quickly discover the many differences between television and the real world.
