5.0 out of 5 stars TV At Its Finest, March 30, 2001

By	Clarence of Melvin (Austin, Texas) - See all my reviews

Michael Moore has the social genius of a modern day Mark Twain, and the courage of a lion. Had he been living in Nazi Germany in the 1930's, he would have been right there leading protest movements just under Hitler's nose, knowing full well the consequences. One can only admire his eagerness to take on the corrupt powers that be, using a lawyer stuffed into a big chicken suit (Crackers, the corporate crime fighting chicken featured in TV Nation). His attempt to get close to power by hugging all 50 state governors at an annual conference was as hilarious as his face to face challenge to Newt Gingrich to "get government off the backs of the American people" by having Cobb County, Ga. (Newt's home district) give back all of its massive federal government funding (Newt, of course, refused). TV Nation is a must see for anyone who thinks, and has any modest level of social consciousness.

5.0 out of 5 stars WITHOUT A DOUBT, THE FINEST TELEVISION SHOW EVER., March 3, 2000

By	Chance (Gotham) - See all my reviews

Superb.

Groundbreaking.

Sorely missed.

Though THE AWFUL TRUTH hasn't lived up to the promise that Moore set with this show, it is apparently being reworked to take advantage of some of the techniques used here, including on-the-street interviews. The best television show of the 90s, in either of its incarnations.

If you liked ROGER AND ME, THE BIG ONE, or even CANADIAN BACON, buy this now.

And let's release the rest of the series! Twenty hours total, and we need them all!

4.0 out of 5 stars Conservative Cronies Hate Moore, June 13, 2002

By	John (Sacramento - Home of the KINGS!) - See all my reviews

This was a funny and informative series. The reviewers who gave it a negative are nothing less than Right Wing Seperatists who shout "Red Commie!" everytime corporate greed and the conservative right is exposed for what they truly are: Anti-American.
