The Primetime Kingdom is the fifth kingdom explored by Corobo. Its inhabitants are couch potatoes, constantly watching television. Their king, and broadcasting manager TV Dinnah, along with his helpers the Broadcasters, run a hypnotic signal to enslave the inhabitants, forcing them to watch TV. The Primetime Broadcast system is where all the TV signals originate from and is located where TV Dinnah is found.

Upon Corobo's first visit, he and his Royal Guard are absorbed into a TV at Skull Plains Lake and scattered across the Screw-Loose Isles, forcing Corobo to go through the maze to locate all of his people and recruit them back to his Royal Guard. The maze itself is a series of islands with TVs that teleport Corobo between them, mimicking changing channels on a TV, with Lotus Root Onii firing at the King from various islands. Failing to recruit citizens will cause them to die once the fight with TV Dinnah begins.

The maze-like Screw-Loose Isles

At the west of the Kingdom is a large, desert-like landmass, with fluorescent blue lights, TVs and antennas scattered around a large map of the real world. The area is surrounded by a fence of white pipes, some of which billow steam, and dusty mountains. In the middle of this landmass is the Public Broadcast Tower. Upon Corobo's first visit, many Broadcasters will be sat on parts of the map to inform the player of TV culture from around the globe. For example, for the United Kingdom, the Broadcaster talks about the BBC's hard work. Many of these Broadcasters will drop hints for the upcoming TV Dinnah battle. A billboard leans against the tower until TV Dinnah's defeat.

TV Dinnah's battle takes place inside the player's own TV, allowing the King to attack Corobo by changing the channels. However, the arena remains within the Primetime Kingdom.

TheGod TV quest takes place in this Kingdom, which leads to a separate island with a Flying Machine part, being one of the few areas that can only be visited once.

After defeating TV Dinnah, a bridge behind the Public Broadcast Tower connects to Miner's Town.

The French name literally means "a drama piece made for televised broadcasting," suggesting the Primetime Kingdom is nothing more than a large scale production.

Trivia

• TV Dinnah and the Primetime Kingdom were inspired by Yoshiro Kimura's love for international television, since he did not find Japanese television as interesting as exploring TV culture in other places in the world, such as the US.
• This is the only place in which Corobo can use the hire command outside of the Alpoko Kingdom's borders.
• Every Kingdom has at least one Art piece appear in the Kingdom Center where the respective king was fought if Corobo returns after that king has been defeated. However, an Art piece will appear in TV Dinnah's arena as soon as the battle is over, able to be collected before saving the princess. This is the only Art piece found in a Kingdom Center to do this.
