Summary: A funny look into TV Nation - hillarious!
Review: Michael Moore is the champion of pointing out all the various stupid ways we run things in this country. TV Nation was one of the few reasons to learn how to program your VCR. This book brings back to mind all of the hillarious moments of the show, and gives some funny behind-the-scenes details, complete with a summary of all the segments that got censored. There's even an index of names and addresses of deserving people you can "raise hell" on.

Summary: Michael Moore for President of the U.S.!!
Review: Moore and his colleagues love America and its Little Guys, and they have such keen senses of irony that magnets must stick to them. This collection of thumbnail sketches of the highlights of the T.V. Nation series (to date: there soon will be a British version which may be piped back to America!) will have all who have been squashed by the Goliaths of Corporate America cheering and laughing to tears. (I read aloud to my wife from the collection of T.V. Polls collected at the back of the book, and we *both* were in tears!)Buy this book; share it with friends; join Mike's Militia; and become an inspired activist! May we all get off our butts and make some waves in the T.V Nation Style! We have nothing to lose but our oligarchy!

Summary: The Awful Truth
Review: The book is as fun to read as the TV show was to watch. After reading each chapter you feel like Paul Harvey's voice will cry out "and now you know... the rest of the story."

Summary: Behind the scenes of TV Nation
Review: The fact that Michael Moore actually got "TV Nation" on the air is amazing in itself, and "Adventures in a TV Nation" documents the short-lived history of one of the best series to air on television, on two different networks. The book is filled with fascinating behind-the-scenes stories of the various segments, including a section on the censoring of several segments. It also features all of the "TV Nation" polls. "Adventures in a TV Nation" is a great companion piece to show.

Summary: The Real TV Guide
Review: The only reason I found this book and read it was the book Stupid White Men. I read that book and just found it very entertaining if not always on the mark. This book also provided an interesting and entertaining book, but with a little different direction then the authors other two books. In the book the author's main point is to tell you about some of the different segments that he had on his TV show. To be honest I never saw the show so I did not know what to expect. Well it is a lot of fun, the author takes his distrust of the man and goes after them at every opportunity. It was just a bunch of laughs and I kept thinking to myself, why did the show go off the air? Basically the author has some deeply engrained dislike for authority or large business because those are the targets of his unique style of humor. To be fair the book is rather light, he does not give you a lot of detail about the particular people he after nor about the segments, just enough for you to get the drift and then move on. I started to think that the real purpose of the book is just to get me to either order the tapes of the show from him or to rent them. He gives you a number of nice convenient ordering options at the back of the book. That is what always cracks me up about him, he goes after big business and in the process he has become a big business. Anyway the book is funny, light and easy to get through. It is a fun book that does not require too much deep thought.

Summary: Funny and Entertaining
Review: This book has some very funny interesting parts, it began very good but good a little bit slow towards the end, I will bet that watching the show is probably much more entertaining.
But as always, Michael Moore delivers!

Summary: Fun read explains some of what went into TV show
Review: This book is a great, easy read. I read it in about three hours in an airport and on a plane. Short, light chapters explaining how many of the most famous "TV Nation" stories, episodes, and the show itself came to be. Appendices log every "TV Nation" episode and story that got on the air for fans that want that. Some interesting insights from the authors about entertainment, TV, politics and our social condition.

Summary: Micheal Moore makes me proud to be from Flint.
Review: This book is a must read for anyone who missed the brief but eventful run of the TV Nation show...and for those who didn't. Like the show, it brims with Moore's special brand of subversive humor that joins outright silliness with poignant realization. From the oh-so-obvious Serial Killer Next Door who's ignored by his neighbors - to Mike enjoying some quality time with Dr. Kevorkian - to raising money for Charles Keating, this is a compilation of classic TV Nation that'll make you laugh and think at the same time.
