14	Upon his arrival in the station, Furry makes some modifications to the [[Franchise/{{Frankenstein}} Frankenstein Device]] and resurrects several old television shows—making way for parodies galore.

16	The episodes vary among showing station antics, the in-universe television shows, and Furry's VlogSeries. It ran for three seasons and had a public access Halloween special, with five made for TV episodes following afterwards.
