Time Machinestein

While scouring the Internet I came across a most interesting discovery. I stumbled upon a script that has started a bidding war between Nickelodeon and the Disney Channel. They both are wanting to be the channel that gets to produce this fine script and hopefully the war will end soon and this fine story will grace our television screens. I'm going to do you the favor of posting the treatment for the series first episode. So here it is folks, the treatment for the un-produced kids show, Time Machinestein.

Episode 1- Gee Wilikers

Alex wakes up. Gets ready for school. Walks down stairs to eat breakfast. Jenna pops out from behind a stair case and scares him. Alex shouts "Gee Wilikers!". There is a flash of light. Alex is standing in his room in his underwear, looking for his socks. He gets dressed and walks down stairs for breakfast. Jenna jumps out from behind the stairs to scare him but he isn't scared, he is confused.

At school, Alex is talking with Chuck about what happened. Chuck suggests that maybe Alex is a cyborg and Alex tells Chuck that he is wrong because his mother dumped Berry the cyborg before marrying his dad. Amy walks out of her class and into the hallway. Alex tries to say something but his words become jumbled. It is at this moment that Spike runs up behind them and pants both Alex and Chuck. Alex is wearing Spongebob boxers (or Mickey, depending on which network picks up the show) and Chuck is free-balling. Amy laughs at them both. Alex says "Gee Wilikers". A flash of light. Alex tells Chuck that he cant be a cyborg. Amy walks out into the hallway. Alex is very confused. He tries to say something but his words are jumbled. It is at this moment that he takes a step forward and avoids being pantsed by Spike, but Chuck does not. Everyone laughs.

Alex goes home to find his dad reading the newspaper. Alex tells his dad whats been going on. Garry suggest that maybe he's a cyborg. Alex assures him that this is not the case. Gary replies, "maybe you should go ask your uncle Wiz. He is a wizard you know. I could of been a wizard but no, Wiz just had to be mister big shot. Ooo look at me, I'm a wizard. Hey everyone, let's stop in the middle of Passover and talk about how I'm a wizard. Oy, what a Shlump."

Alex goes to visit his Uncle Wiz in his castle atop of the town mountain. Alex ask him if he knows why he is able to go back in time five minutes after he says "Gee Wilikers". To which Uncle Wiz says, "Because I'm a wizard!". After speaking with Wiz, Alex discovers that he is now able to jump back in time after uttering that phrase, because his uncle is a wizard and the wizard gods thought it would be helpful for such a socially inept boy to have something like that in his life (Damn this is good television). So Alex leaves the castle and decides to use his power solely for personal gain, in hopes of winning Amy's heart and pantsing Spike at the big dance, when his band is in the Battle of the Bands to save the town youth center from being demolished, by the evil corporate president, who is really a warlock, who hates Alex because his uncle is a wizard.
