Anarchy TV is a 1998 low budget, independent[1] comedy film directed by Jonathan Blank. It stars Alan Thicke, Jessica Hecht, Jonathan Penner, Tamayo Otsuki, George Wendt, Mink Stole, and Ahmet, Dweezil, Diva and Moon Unit Zappa.[1] Blank was nominated for the Maverick Spirit Award at the Cinequest San Jose Film Festival for Anarchy TV.

The plot involves a group of young people who run an uncensored public-access television cable TV.[2] They are ejected from their show when the station is purchased by a televangelist, who considers their show pornographic. In response, the performers hijack the station and begin broadcasting a 24-hour all nude show in order to gain sympathy for their cause.

It received 4 stars from Charles Tatum on efilmcritic.com.[3]

Director Jonathan Blank is the son of Marion Blank.[4]
