I knew about this movie because is said it's very similar to the 1989 Weird Al vehicle UHF, and it's true: both are Orion Pictures productions and tell the story about a little tv station near bankruptcy that is saved for a colorful bunch of show starred by a bunch of misfits.
This one stand by its own talking about how the televangelists put the eye in the airwaves to $ell their me$$sage$ and get a lot of untaxed money.
Good laughs about the sudden conversion to 'pious' content of all the programming grid. At that time it was very obvious the deity all that people adore is the almighty $, isn't?
Some scenes may be a little bit questionable by today standards.
Pretty nice music here, with Dr. John and DEVO (as DOVE).
I recommend it.
