- Original title
- Tiswas
- Storyline
- A Saturday-morning kids' program, whose title was variously an acronym for "This Is Saturday, What A Show!", "Today Is Saturday, Wear A (or Wake-Up And) Smile!", and "This Is Saturday, Watch And Suffer!". Classic cartoons were interspersed with wild, anarchic skits about Flan and special appearances by then-hot pop stars.
