Synopsis: Following on from "The Rocky Horror Picture Show", this musical is set several years later in Brad and Janet Majors' hometown - which has become a giant TV station; residents are either participants or viewers. They are married now, but their romance has fallen on the rocks. Ostensibly to fix their marriage, Brad is imprisoned on the program "Dentonvale" (the local mental hospital) while Janet is conscripted to become a new star. As Janet is entranced by the high life, she forgets Brad. Who is trying to woo her away?

replace that old perk of yours with

a coffeemaker of prestigious distinction.

And be the envy of all

with a coffeemaker that says it all.

Oh, thanks.

When that man of yours comes in from

the big outdoors with a burning thirst...

that only Lake Michigan

could satisfy...

make sure there's a cold can

of Krautmeister Light in the icebox.

He'll thank you for it.

And he'll thank Krautmeister.

For crying out loud, Emily.

Leave her alone. She's not a kid.

- Well, I wanted to see her in it.

- It's really very nice.

The material is imported.

Taiwanese.

Damn it, Emily.

She's not interested.

What are you trying to do,

Harry, start an argument?

Don't you want your daughter

to look pretty?

Who's she got

to look pretty for?

- She's got a husband.

- She's got a weirdo!

I've never been able to afford the time

to have a nervous breakdown!

- Oh, poor Brad.

- Thank God he was born an orphan.

It would have killed

his parents.

And thank goodness he hasn't ended up

like that Slepstrini boy.

What are you talking about? Danny

Slepstrini's a chip off the old block.

I played 18 holes of golf

with his father just last week...

and Hank says that Danny's moved

to New York to... better himself.

He moved, all right...

when they found him at the back of

Wilson's Bakery... naked...

with 15 other men.

Mexicans.

I'm gonna catch up on a few jobs

that need doing outside!

- You shouldn't have said that.

- But why?

Your father doesn't

like Mexicans.

Your father doesn't

like Mexicans.

A man should call the toss

Wear the pants

and be the boss

A man should be the drake

For his own damned sake

And men should be

the misters

And the masters

of their sisters

A man should be the reason

For a heart to break

So be moral Don't quarrel

Fair and square is best

Let me alert you

that virtue

Won't hurt you

or desert you

If you wear hair

on your chest

So always remember

to follow the rules

Box clever Jocks never

Hock another jock's tools

A man should wax a car

Fix a fuse and tend a bar

A man should like his brow

to be wet with sweat

And should know

the right occasions

To indulge in tax evasions

A man should know the settings

that his spark plugs get

Faggots are maggots

Thank God I'm a man

What a meal!

Scrumptious, meine Liebling.

I insist on the recipe.

Coming from a gourmet,

that's praise indeed. But... secrets.

With Fast-Food Farley at the helm,

it'll probably be TV dinners from now on.

Farley is already

a TVwinner as we shall see.

Dentonvale will run forever

now that his interest...

has embraced mental hygiene.

Our field.

I'm convinced there's

some kind of conspiracy.

- Conspiracy?

- Mm-hmm.

Well, that sounds
