A People's History of Moeller Television Festival XVI

How did the TV Festival go on Saturday? It's easier if I put it in the words of the participants. What follows is a collection of some of the comments that were hand-scribed onto index cards and submitted into the meticulously-decorated comment box (i.e. a re-purposed tissue box). It could have been during any one of the 14 TV show viewings that took place on Saturday while the no-talking rule was in strictest order. This is not all of the comments, but plenty of them to be sure. I present to you my favorites, that is, the ones that lack the context of the moment when they appear here three days after the fact but still hint at the brilliance of the authors. We commence. Next year in Jerusalem!!

All these Open Remote shows with foreign actors and accents is a real slap in the face to the Moellers and their usual Trump-like America First TV Festival
