Absolutely Fantastic
True to its essence, the characters remain on the same line and manage to entertain the viewer, each highlighting their own distinctive qualities or touches.
The best films of this genre always show a path and provide a takeaway for being a better person.

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).
