Moore has many hysterical things to say about deserving targets of all political persuasions from the anaemic left to the giddy right. Hailed as 'brilliant' and 'subversive' on both sides of the Atlantic, TV NATION champions the issues which concern us all - from the heavyweight to the just plain irksome. Only in TV NATION will you witness the unthinkable - Mexican and African Americans gatecrashing a Ku Klux Klan rally to regale them with love songs and install a kissing booth - and the simply wish-fulfilling - the home of the director of the largest car alarm company in America being woken to the tuneful chorus of a dozen car alarms at 6am. If you have ever felt powerless or at the mercy of 'the system', ADVENTURES IN A TV NATION is guaranteed to lift your spirits.

Review:

"A masterpiece..."TV Nation" goes where no TV magazine has gone before." "-- Newsday"""TV Nation" may be the rarest of species, a television program both funny and important." "-- The Wall Street Journal""Mr. Moore's breezy, irreverent, blithely biased excursions are generally refreshing, frequently hilarious." "-- New York Times""A news magazine for Lettermaniacs, Michael Moore's "TV Nation" greets the apocalypse of our modern times with a deadpan shrug and a keen eye for the absurdities and hypocrisies we ignore at our peril...At last! News to amuse." "-- USA Today"""TV Nation" is as compelling and provocative as it is entertaining and hilarious." "-- TV Guide""Three cheers for Michael Moore and his snappy satire, "TV Nation."" "-- The Nation"
