Welcome to the world of Sellevision, America's premier retail broadcasting network. When Max Andrews, the much-loved and handsome (lonely and gay) host of Slumber Party Downm accidentally exposes himself in front of 20 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 e-mails 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 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. 1888390 2000 Sellevision: A Novel total:3911|5:18|4:16|3:39|2:9|1:7| 3911 13302 5318 406 3 5 false false Sat Jul 05 00:00:00 -0700 2008 Thu Jun 05 06:50:52 -0700 2008 Wed Jul 09 05:57:51 -0700 2008 more...]]> 1 1 false false Fri Aug 01 00:00:00 -0700 2003 Thu Jun 14 20:06:54 -0700 2007 Thu Jun 14 20:16:24 -0700 2007 more...]]> 1 1 false false Tue May 27 05:20:39 -0700 2008 Tue May 27 05:26:43 -0700 2008 more...]]> 4 0 false false Sun May 31 12:11:09 -0700 2009 Sun May 31 12:12:34 -0700 2009 more...]]> 5 0 false false Fri Nov 06 00:00:00 -0800 2009 Thu Nov 05 00:33:30 -0800 2009 Fri Nov 06 12:40:28 -0800 2009
