The series revolved around R. B. Bugg (voiced by Mark Hasslett), an
anthropomorphic insect who is a young television reporter for Channel 85, WORD-TV (outer building in real life is home to Mississippi Public Broadcasting/MPB) in the fictional city of Egg City, Calistonia (which in reality is
Jackson, Mississippi). Despite being a reporter for WORD's news department, R. B. Bugg's writing skills aren't sharp. He writes in short, choppy sentences. His news director, Red Green (no relation to the later
Canadian television character of the same name), was played by
Beverly Todd, Throughout the series, she shows him how to combine and improve his writings. By way of
animation, viewers see a gloved hand moving words, combining words, and making appropriate changes in capitalization and punctuation. Later in the show, Bugg writes another story, only this time he does this without Green's help, and at the house where he lives. It reinforces to the viewer what Green showed R. B. earlier, but without the gloved hand. Nevertheless, the corrections were still made on screen. Each episode usually concluded with Bugg falling asleep in front of the television, as WORD
signs off with the first and last bits of
The Star-Spangled Banner, the U.S. national anthem. =="The Club"==
