The episode begins on the outskirts of Castle Dedede, where Tiff is writing an essay about Cappy Town and its inhabitants. After a moment, Kirby, Tuff, and the Cappy children catch up with her and ask what she's doing, so Tiff reads them a passage from her essay for their entertainment. From there, the Cappy children's parents appear, and tell the group that King Dedede has just given every family in Cappy Town a television set with regular programming, which the kids react to in shock. In town, Captain Waddle Doo is directing the Waddle Dees to install a T.V. set in every home. Seeing this, Tuff excitedly runs back to the castle to watch with his parents, while Tiff stays behind, bemused. In the castle, the King, Escargoon, and another group of Waddle Dees have set up a studio, and are prepared to start a show that will broadcast to the T.V.s in town. They start a countdown which the rest of the town follows in earnest.

In the castle, the King, Escargoon, and another group of Waddle Dees have set up a studio, and are prepared to start a show that will broadcast to the T.V.s in town. They start a countdown which the rest of the town follows in earnest.


The show begins with a live broadcast from [[Channel DDD]], as King Dedede starts off with a skit where he abuses a crude prop which resembles Kirby, much to the amusement of the villagers and the bemusement of Tiff. Escargoon then rattles off the show line-up before cutting to commercial, with each advertisement being Dedede-themed. Tiff tries to express her disgust of the programming to Kirby, but he has only moved closer to the T.V., now laughing with the Cappies. Back at the castle, King Dedede and Escargoon are spying on every household in Cappy Town using the "two-way T.V.s". Meanwhile, Tiff tries to check up on the residents of Cappy Town, only to find everyone glued to their T.V. sets. She returns to the castle only to find her own family absorbed in the shows as well. She scolds them for a moment, but to no avail.
