Sci-Fi Channel’s Tripping the Rift is set to feature Webster, the lovable kid from the 1983 television series, with Emmanuel Lewis providing the voice of Webster. The episode’s synopsis is, “When Chode sells his soul to the Devil to save his blobby purple behind, his crew searches desperately for a way out of the demonic pact. Looking back over history, they discover that a guy named Daniel Webster once successfully litigated his client out of a similar contract with the Devil. So they go back in time to get Webster to represent Chode. But, inevitably, the bumbling crew screws things up — instead of finding Daniel Webster in the 1800s, they end up on the set of Webster in 1983. Unaware of the error, they kidnap series’ star Emmanuel Lewis and bring him back to the ship.” PRNewswire has the full press release, while thanks goes to Toon Zone for the heads up! The special episode of Tripping the Rift is set to air on the Sci-Fi Channel this Thursday, April 1 at 10:30pm ET/PT.
