I've got this set. if you liked the show, you'll like the set. nothing too special about it, but it's nice to have all those episodes together.
they do have the episode where they airdrop televisions on afganistan.. maybe they're holding a grudge....

I saw a few very good episodes of Bravo and bought the set, but I wish I hadn't. The picture and audio are both as good as can be expected and some episodes are very good, but most of the show is rather mediocre and has little rewatchability. Many segments are just wacky for the sake of being wacky and have little to do with bringing about social change. These crazy segments can actually be very annoying and are only occasionaly offset by a meaningful piece. I suggest you rent or just skip it, and that's coming from a Michael Moore fan.
Ironically, it is nowhere near as good as Roger and Me, The Big One, or TV Nation, yet it is the only one out on DVD.

This is a great set. Many of the episodes are very rewatchable IMHO.
You will feel good about yourself for supporting such an inventive and informative program. Now put out seasons 2 and 3 please!! I would also love to see TVNATION on DVD

If you've seen anything Moore has done previously, you know what you are getting. Its a bit hit or miss, but when it hits, it does so sharply.
I do with the supplements were better thought out, with more background info on some, if not all, of the stories. What's there is sparse and repetitive of what is found in the programs themselves.
