Reviews
From my favorite movies..
Did you people see the same film I saw?
I like movies that are aware of what they are selling... without [any] greater aspirations than to make people laugh and that's it.
Watching it is like watching the spectacle of a class clown at their best: you laugh at their jokes, instigate their defiance, and "ooooh" when they get in trouble.
This is a must-see documentary for the documentary film student! Great coverage about how TV reflected the American working class, but at the same time defined how the working class is viewed by the American public. It probably also explains how TV served as a balm for the working class audience that saw themselves on screen and served as a how-to primer to become part of the American Middle Class (AKA American Dream).
