Darkly funny and gleefully mean-spirited, Sellevision explores greed, obsession and third tier celebrity, in the world of a fictional home shopping network.

Welcome to the troubled world of Sellevision, America’s
premier retail broadcasting network. When Max Andrews, the
much-loved and handsome (lonely and gay) host of “Slumber
Sunday Sundown” accidentally exposes himself in front of
sixty million kids and their parents during a “Toys for
Tots” segment, Sellevision faces its first big scandal. As
Max fails to find a job in television, another host, the
popular and perky Peggy Jean Smythe is receiving sinister
emails about her appearance from a stalker. Popping pills
and drinking heavily, she fails to notice that her husband
is spending a lot of time with the very young babysitter who
lives next door. Then there’s Leigh, whose affair with
Sellevision boss Howard Toast is going nowhere, until she
exposes him on air; and Bebe, Sellevision’s star host, who
finds Mr. Right through the Internet— if she can just stop
her shopping addiction from taking over.
