Fun read, once, I guess.
True fans of TV Nation will enjoy this book but you won't go back for quotes and lend it to friends like "Stupid White Men" and "Downsize This!" Just anecdotal details from the filming of the late, great "TV Nation", one of television's finest shows.
Synopsis of each show
This book is a TV show tie-on. It provides short, humorous synopses of each show in the series.
The program was a fantastic treat as Moore et al chassed down the corporate fat cats.
The book provides a useful reminder of the comedy, and the importance of the show in showing up corporate scandal, and greed.
The book is best read after viewing the program, and ideally the series. On its own, it won't reveal too much, except for the briefest of reporting of the issues covered, and the various exploits and stunts attempted on the program.
Nonetheless, I found myself laughing too often.
Informative and funny
I never saw TV Nation despite the fact that I am a big Michael Moore fan so I gave this book a read. TV Nation was truly a unique show, and is probably the only show that has ever gone out of its way to insult its sponsors and bosses. The book gives detailed summaries of some of the more memorable episodes, including Haulin' Communism, The Invasion of the Private Greenwhich beach and many others. The show's esploits were controversial and I am sure many were enflamed by some of what was aired. However, it is a shame TV Nation did not last longer because it's commentary on social issues has yet to be matched. On a historic note, TV Nation was Buford Furrow's only TV appearance, as he was a Klansmen present when Moore gathered an interracial singing group to perform "Stop in the Name of Love" in front of several white supremacist organizations.
