Just
as Mr. Dime is about to cancel the show, he learns
that Rodney Helal's uncle, the Chairman of the Board,
has demoted Mr. Dime to the cleaning man (at Miss
Take's suggestion), and makes Rodney the president
of the network. This happens because, as Miss Take
explains, "We have kids running the show down
here, (the network) thought they should have one running
the show up here!"
Unable
to read a phonebook-sized intro in the required 28
and a half seconds, Christine is fired, as well as
Jono (for not being able to make a sunny weather forecast)
and Marc (apparently, just for the sake of firing),
leaving Kevin as the only kid left (and his salary
is cut by eighty cents, as a result of asking for
a raise). Since there aren't any kids left who are
willing to work, the network loses money and fires
Rodney's uncle, as well as Rodney, and everything
(except Kevin's salary) is restored to how it was
before. |
DID
YOU NOTICE?
- This
episode contains a scene that is a sequel (of sorts)
to a scene found in the 1979's Episode
One and the Whatever
Turns You On
pilot. In that original scene, Ross
teaches Jono how to make a weather forecast in front
of an old CJOH weather map (which, curiously, doesn't
include the Yukon as being a seperate territory)
using buckets of water. In this scene, Jono is fired
from the job because he predicted nothing but rain
the past few days. Buckets of water are used in
a similar way here, and it's on the same set.
