An outraged reverend buys a public access station that specializes in what he considers pornographic broadcasting (shows include "Conspiracy Of The Week" and "Eat Me" all on Channel 69) ran by his daughter and her friends. The teens seize the station, however and seek public support for their efforts. However, when no one seems to be paying attention they start an all nude broadcast that gets them national exposure.

Anarchy TV Ratings & Reviews

Jacob O’NealJuly 20, 2025
This movie is better than it has a right to be. It’s basically trying to be a sketch comedy movie framed around a public access station. The station is being taken over by a religious jerk, played by Alan Thicke, whose daughter had a show on the public access station called Anarchy TV. She and her friends break in and take over the station in protest, eventually getting naked to draw attention and viewers. Besides Thicke, this film is full of faces you may recognize even if you don’t know their names. George Wendt, Jessica Hecht (Friends), Tommy Hinkley (Back To The Beach, Mad About You) Timothy Leary and most of Frank Zappa’s kids. The movie was trying to give a message about free speech with some of the sketches featured and its overall theme for taking over the station. It got heavy handed at times, but some of the humor landed while some fell very flat. But there was a lot of truth in there, no matter which side of the isle you’re on. The first moments of the film are a fake game show called “Political Jeopardy” where you’re playing the game for tablets of Prozac. Don’t expect a masterpiece from this film. Just expect something that’s mildly entertaining. Please note, this film has enough nudity of both men and women toward the end to rival Showgirls. Maybe you’ll just enjoy the view it offers or maybe you won’t watch for that reason. I’m not gonna judge either way, but be warned that the last 20 minutes have very few people who still have clothes on.
