Description

This is a book about how a group of people went after corporate crooks with a seven-foot crime-fighting chicken, hired a former KGB agent to make sure Nixon was really dead, and got the warring factions in Bosnia to put down their guns, slice up a pizza, and sing the Barney song to each other.And it all ended up on primetime television, on networks owned by General Electric (NBC) and Rupert Murdoch (Fox).The show was called TV Nation. It was hailed by the critics as 'brilliant', 'subversive', and "the best show on TV in the past 30 years." It had ten million weekly viewers and beat its competition on the other three networks in the twenty-five- to fifty-four-year-old audience every week it was on the air. It was nominated twice for a primetime Emmy Award and won the Emmy for Outstanding Informational Series for the 1994 season.After seventeen episodes, it was gone.From the oh–so–obvious "serial killer next door" who's ignored by his neighbors; to Mike enjoying some quality time with assisted suicide Dr. Jack 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.
