Between 1994 and 1995, Moore directed and hosted the [[BBC]] television series ''[[TV Nation]]'', which followed the format of news magazine shows but covered topics they avoid. The series aired on [[BBC2]] in the UK. The series was also aired in the US on [[NBC]] in 1994 for 9 episodes and again for 8 episodes on [[Fox Broadcasting Company|Fox]] in 1995.{{Citation needed|date=March 2017}}

His other major series was ''[[The Awful Truth (TV series)|The Awful Truth]]'', which satirized actions by big corporations and politicians. It aired on the UK's [[Channel 4]], and the [[Bravo (US TV channel)|Bravo]] network in the US, in 1999 and 2000. Moore won the [[Hugh M. Hefner First Amendment Award]] in Arts and Entertainment for being the executive producer and host of ''The Awful Truth'', where he was also described as "muckraker, author and documentary filmmaker".<ref>{{Cite book |last=Brotman |first=Stuart N. |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=lQ5cEAAAQBAJ&pg=PA226 |title=The First Amendment Lives On: Conversations Commemorating Hugh M.
