Trust me, I'm a doctor!

Overview

Brad and Janet are now married and on the rocks. Denton, once The Home of Happiness, has been transformed into a giant TV station; residents are either participants or audience members. Ostensibly to fix their marriage, the couple go on the game show 'Marriage Maze' with the eccentric Bert Schnick, who suggests Brad be imprisoned in the local mental hospital (the program 'Dentonvale'). Meanwhile, Janet's star potential is skyrocketing but who is her mysterious benefactor, and who exactly are these doctors?
