When Mr. Dime looks for a rock star he can manipulate to make money, dumb and unsuspecting Kevin Somers gets the job, believing it is his ticket to fame, fortune and a solid gold Trans Am. However Kevin can't sing or play an instrument or even figure out mathematics to figure out his wage.

He shows off his new rockstar outfit and unzips his shiny coat a bit to show off a piece of hair from his chest but Moose pulls the hair off and Kevin zips his coat up again.

As a promotional idea, Kevin convinces Christine to let him perform on the show, even though he won't be paid for it. Even then, whenever he's ready to play, something comes up -- whether it's an autograph, a coffee break or the end credits -- that keeps him from performing.

He also tries to perform in his classroom at school but the bell rings and everyone leaves. However, he manages to grab Rodney and forces him to listen to his performance.

Meanwhile, Lisa, hoping to get Rodney to come to her birthday party but Rodney always refuses. Lisa still finds a way to get him to come. Eventually she tells Rodney that CFL star Tony Gabriel (his favorite sports star) is coming but Rodney doesn't believe her. When it turns out he is, it's too late because Rodney already said no. The only way he could get to go, however, is if he kisses Lisa. When he does, he discovers that he actually likes it.

There is also a hilarious skit that Ms. Fit is tied up and gagged and then the school principle comes in and demands an explanation who did so and when Lisa tells him it was her he is happy that she told him the truth and gave her a candy before lunchtime and when the bell rings everyone leaves and Miss Fitt is still tied up and gagged.

Finally, Kevin has a chance to perform but it is during the closing credits with the theme song muting out his playing and singing. Then at the very end he asks the fortune teller if he will make it big as a rock star but the crystal ball blurs out and said she should've paid for cablevision.

Unfortunately only 15 minutes of this show exists.

Kevin Somers "Rock Star Outfit" is the same one he wore in the Whatever Turns You On pilot, when he was trying to get on the show.

Although there is unknown date to this episode this was probably the last one before the plug was pulled on it due to poor ratings which is unfortunate as it was a very entertaining children's show.
