Being a newer Michael Moore fan I was only recently tuned in to this show. Danish television who usually shows all kinds of reality crap these days somehow steered clear of this show - kinda typical, as I said, they only show fullblown tastewaster shows anyway, so I guess it isn't very strange..Anyways, I totally enjoyed this. It's kind of a talkshow but not really. Michael Moore raving on in the same fashion as we know him from Bowling for Columbine, but about other issues - in short, taking a lot of society's fundamental problems and turned them around with a humours blink the eye....I know a lot of Americans dislike Moore, but being an European I can only say that Moore's way of looking at his fellow Americans is a lot like how we europeans see the united states. This not being said to be hypocritical (sure we have our own problems..) nor racist or however you wanna turn it, but with a president like W., who can blame us.. BUT - that's a totally other review to be given once Fahrenheist 9/11 is released here in Denmark in August ;-)8/10

Michael Moore whos nerdy overweight appearance is disarming wages a bloody campaign against a laundry list of liberal complaints. This show is innovative and original in its documentary/skits, but if you are looking for a real intellectual political debate, look elsewhere. This is the definition of bleeding heart knee jerk liberalism. Michael Moore protests tobacco lawyers, even though of course our legal system is set up so everyone gets representation from someone. He protests Disney for employing people, he protests rich people not knowing the price of a super size at McDonalds, he protests executives getting high wages even though they are in extremely high demand. The list of unthinking unintellectual positions goes on and on. While this show will test your political stand and ability to think beyond the immediate bleeding heart conclusions, it is also original entertainment.

Mr. Moore has a wicked sense of humor. Only Mr. Moore could take tragic situations and expose them for what they are: absurd.I believe that we have no choice but to keep Mr. Moore on-the-job because his humor presents facts in a form that the ordinary guy can relate to and learn from. This guy is a damn fine teacher who has found a way to spread knowledge and entertain all at the same time. His parents did a fine job with this young man.

I'm sick and tired of Michael Moore acting like human life is more valuable than money. Look, money makes the world go around; there are *billions* of people and most of them contribute nothing. Nothing!Money has got me my beautiful trophy wife, my sports car, my trips to Europe, my tennis court, my three houses, etc. ,etc. etc. What has that slob that Michael "saved" from the HMO ever given me? Zip, that's what. El zippo.Doesn't Michael realize the kind of money HMOs make off the death of people like that whining sicky he patted himself on the back for saving? If the HMOs were to pay for every little old operation every one of their whining patients wanted, what kind of money would be left for the investors?Come on! We're talking MONEY here people! Get with the program.I hope Michael Moore's career goes down in flames, because the more he is on the air, the more he hurts the interests of people like me.
