Yes.  More than any other TV show I've seen, TV Nation (like Roger and Me) 
took direct aim at Them (in Their capitalist form).  To me, the show drew
much of its power and its ability to make me furious from the fact that it
was reporting true events, unlike shows such as The Simpsons (which has
its moments). I seem to remember hearing that some cable station was
looking at reviving the show.
