Plot summary: Katie and Matt are couch potatoes. All they do when they are not in school is watch television from morning to night. Their parents, the Walkers and the Bakers, are concerned about their children's awful habit and become even more concerned when their health and schoolwork starts being affected. The parents develop a scheme that involves a wizard. Was the wizard just part of a shared dream or was he real and did he actually show Katie and Matt what their futures would be if they continued being couch potatoes? You decide. All we know is that by the end of "No TV for Me!" Katie and Matt certainly break their bad habit.
