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.

"From the acclaimed author of 'Running With Scissors', 'Sellevison' is darkly funny and thoroughly mean-spirited, a ...kaleidoscope of gleefully salacious intrigue."-PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
