5.0. What is TV Nation? Michael Moore
TV Nation is a television news magazine series executive
produced, written, directed and hosted by Moore. It originated as
a co-production between NBC and the BBC and its initial seven
episodes aired on NBC in the summer of 1994. FOX offered Moore a
better deal and the show came back on FOX with a bigger budget,
airing in the summer of 1995, a co-production between FOX and the
BBC.
5.0.1. Can I order tapes of TV Nation?
In November, Columbia Tristar Home Video released THE BEST
OF TV Nation on VHS in America. Each tape sells for $14.95 each.
Tape One contains Episode One (airdate July 19, 1994) of the first
season, the 1994 Year End Special, as well as the unaired "Condoms"
segment (see section 5.3.1 for details).
Tape Two contains the "We're #1" episode (airdate July 21, 1995),
the "Love Night" episode (airdate August 11, 1995), as well as the
unaired "Extra Credit" segment (see section 5.3.1 for details).
However, videophiles may not appreciate the fact that the two
tapes were recorded in EP (six-hour mode). It is not known at this
point whether more episodes will become available on tape or whether
these episodes will be released in the customary SP format in the
future.
