In 1998 the world"s oil supply is exhausted. The U.S. Treasury is empty and in deep debt to a billionaire businessman (Chief Dan George) who"ll foreclose on the nation in 30 days. The solution: a telethon to save Uncle Sam from bankruptcy. And with this way-out-there premise as a launching pad; Americathon explodes into comic outer space. Written by Firesign Theatre veterans Phil Proctor and Peter Bergman; this wickedly funny - and 30 years later; outrageously timely - escapade stars Harvey Korman as an ego-tripping emcee; Fred Willard as a scheming White House aide and John Ritter as a mellow fellow of a President.

Tune in to this all-stops-out extravaganza of hilarity and - strange but true - foreboding.This product is manufactured on demand using DVD-R recordable media.
