The Tube File captures the very core of Network Television, Cable Television, Pay-Per-View Television and all that it entails. Whether it's 'Leave it To Beaver' or 'The Practice', The Tube File simply covers it all. Exclusive interviews with some of the biggest and brightest stars in television today... Profiles on the best new shows to watch... Information on all of the latest trends... For example, did you know that network programmers get extremely aroused by pairing up members of different casts during sweeps months for those ever-popular crossover episodes? It's true. The Tube File also adds trivia and fun perspectives to the mix integrating variables that can enhance your viewing pleasure. Are you a major 'Xena' addict? Or just an old diehard 'Trekkie' with a bad attitude and your own set of original Spock ears? Whatever your TV taste calls for... The Tube File covers it. But more importantly, your secret television addictions are safe with us, as we certainly have quite a few of our own... and we'll share each and every one of them with you. The Tube file is an intellectual romp, an informative ride through the exuberant "visual pop culture" that is television.

When did Barbie become such a corporate mogul who easily disposed of Ken? Why is Charlie Brown balding at the age of 8? As it was once said by someone whose name obviously escapes us, "A good toy does not offer answers; it stimulates questions and presents problems for solving— all in good humor." Toy manufacturers both big and small send and often rather independent send us a ton of ultra cool free toys, games and books for review. Read the expert opinions of UPBEAT's finest editors and columnists as we shamelessly indulge ourselves completely in various sanctioned sessions of just plain "goofing-off". Toy Quest is dedicated to providing the most comprehensive weekly resource to those of us who simply adore toys and refuse to grow up... So whether you are 4 or 84, we will give you the inside word on what's cool, entertaining, wacky, clever, nutty, unexplainable, crazy and just plain hysterical.
