The show is hosted by Kellyn Morris and Seamus Evans. The show remains less popular than the original Cheez TV with complaints of lowering the age demographics with cartoons that only appeal to children under 10 years of age (unlike its predecessor which had a wider range of cartoons that appealed to all ages up to 14 years, such as Dragonball Z) as well as the controversial replacement of the 8am cartoon segment with less popular educational shows like Totally Wild and Scope.
The show targets an audience of 7- to 14-year-olds. The activities of the hosts are interspersed with cartoons and anime, such as Pokémon, Beyblade Metal Fusion, Spongebob Squarepants, Yu-Gi-Oh! (Yu-Gi-Oh! Duel Monsters), Penguins of Madagascar and Bakugan.
Premiering on 22 August 2005, it succeeded Cheez TV, and is produced in conjunction with Warner Village Theme Parks, the owner of Warner Bros. Movie World, Sea World and Wet'n'Wild Water World. The show is shot entirely at Sea World. As of the 13 June 2011 the show is shot at Dreamworld
On 16 January 2012 Breakfast will air on Network Ten between Monday to Fridays at 6am to 9am.
Regular segments on Toasted TV include:
- Letter of the Week, where letters are read and prizes are given out for them. This segment used to show on Saturdays and now will show on a weekday.
- Bike Wheel of Misfortune, where the bike wheel is spun and the hosts have to do one of the many double dares that have been sent in. The Bike Wheel of Misfortune has five categories of double dare: Physical Challenge, Face Off (Kell vs Seamus), On Your Head, Wild Card, and Down Your Pants. The most popular is "Down Your Pants". This segment is now showing on Saturdays.
- Chuck It In. This is one of the most popular segments on the show. People send in their gross recipes and Kellyn and Palmer mix them in a blender and then have to drink it. This segment is now showing on Saturdays.
