Michael Moore (love him or hate him) had that hilarious show called TV Nation. I remember Crackers the Corporate-Crime Fighting Chicken visited for the newspaper strike. Was anyone else there? | ||

I was about to start a thread like this. I lived in Phoenix at the time so I missed the Detroit event. I've been going through YouTubes of TV Nation all night, laughing my socks off. My favorite so far is where they confront the KKK with love: Love Night, pt. 1 Love Night, pt. 2 That takes balls but what an interesting effect! They can't laugh without admitting they're a joke so they end up looking all serious about a silly stunt which makes them look even more foolish.  Wasn't there a another series similar to TV Nation that aired around that same time frame? What was that? I think it was also by Michael Moore. Great stuff. | ||

I still have a Cracker the Corporate-Crime Fighting Chicken tshirt from that day. I am briefly in the newspaper strike segment. | ||

A t-shirt!! *I bow to you* I, too, was briefly in it... but for 1/43rd of a second. You didn't happen to save the episode, did you? | ||

Nope, but I bet I could come up with one. I'll check around. | ||

I seem to remember Michael Moore calling out Alex Trotman to come change the oil in his car. And Trotman DID! | ||

Harper, in that same episode, he went to the RJR Reynolds corporate HQ and tried to get their CEO to come down and roll a cigarette (nobody came down). He also went to the Xerox HQ and tried to get somebody to come out and clear a paper jam or change a toner or something (again, nobody came out). | ||

I have the book about the short-lived show. Does that count for anything? | ||

Yes, Lost 'gumes... Thanks for reminding me there is a book out there! Isn't amazon.com great? I just bought a copy for $4 including shipping. |
