the release of "tv nation" on two vhs volumes in 1997 offered a chance to view two unaired segments considered too controversial to be aired on broadcast television at the time. in the first segment at the end of volume one, one of the correspondents visits drug stores and inquires about extra-small sized condoms. the second unaired segment at the end of volume two looks at the phelps family, known for picketing the funerals of aids victims.
