	TV Nation: The Killing of American Brain Cells by Karen De Coster and Brad Edmonds
		The American TV nation has become a docile bunch of followers who are far too easily entertained by any and all attempts at dumbing them down.
		TV is a way for them to be led to the herding gates, waiting for the next order.

	Amazon.com: Adventures in a TV Nation: Books: Michael Moore,Kathleen Glynn
		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.
		I am a huge fan of TV nation and assumed this would be the book for me. I thought this book would be a sort of "making of".
		"Adventures in a TV Nation" is a great companion piece to show.

		TV Nation appealed to anyone who had been slighted by large corporations.
		I remember sadly when TV Nation was no longer on the air.
		TV didn't seem right somehow, without the crazy stories, strange wisdom, and of course, Moore himself (and I don't think he needs to look like Robert Stack to be more appealing!)

	Adventures in a TV Nation, Chapt. 1
		TV Nation was to be a combination of documentary and humor; the journalists we interviewed weren't very funny, and the comedians we auditioned for the most part knew little about what was going on in the world.
		The criteria we set were that each segment had to show the viewer something he or she had never seen before on TV; aggressively take on the powers that be, whoever they may be; and give us some sort of comic relief as we considered the horror of what we were actually watching.
		Eric offered to join Mike upstairs and present TriStar as the studio for the potential TV show.

	TV NATION

		The National Journal’s William Powers recently put it this way: “Tuning in to CNN these days feels like visiting the hospital room of an old friend dying a slow, painful death.” MSNBC has cornered the market on young and hip.

		Prisoners who can’t but their own TVs can borrow the state-owned sets at no costthe dominant treatment program in American prisons, the one every day is TV therapy.'” (Parenti, p.181).
		TV, it turns out, is wonderfully matched to the “correctional” authorities’ interrelated drives to (a) keep inmates passive and inert and (b) keep costs down:
		As R.B. ‘Bucky’ Rives, executive director of the Louisiana Sheriff’s Association, explained to the press, TV is good because it keeps inmates docile and dumb.

	Welcome to MichaelMoore.com!
		The show was called TV Nation, and these are its stories, a sort of consumer's guide to raising hell and having fun while doing it.
		When the powers-that-be succeeded in ignoring-and then silencing-the nation's widespread dissent over war, one man stood on an Oscar stage and, in front of a billion people, outed the commander in chief for his fictitious presidency and his fictitious war.
		Whether he's calling for United Nations action to overthrow the Bush Family Junta, calling on African-Americans to place whites only signs over the entrances of unfriendly businesses, or praying that Jesse Helms will get kissed by a man, Michael Moore is out to cure the world of a plague of stupid white men.

		I cant say i watch too much TV these days, although there are a few programmes with quality(Bremner,Bird and fortune is a gem) i doubt (hope) nobody here is a regular childrens BBC viewer.
		Everyone on children’s TV's either a mud or a faggot and in a few cases both, if I had children I wouldn’t let them watch the TV.
		I was not much of a telly-watching child but there's no doubt even in twelve-fifteen years the promotion of negritude on tots' TV has broadened from a minor nuisance to total overdrive.
