TV Nation was created in the wake of the success Moore had with the documentary Roger & Me, prompting Warner Bros. Television to ask Moore for television series ideas. In January 1993, NBC green-lit a pilot episode which took three months to complete. Interest from the BBC prompted NBC to insert the show into its summer 1994 lineup.
