After watching the show I was rather surprised at how mild it actually was.

The movie totally ignored the current feeble attempts from the US government in
their crisis relocation plan (even though it won't work). The movie also failed
to should how the US's only valid attempts at sheltering occur where large
govermental bodies work (i.e. Springfield, Illinois and it underground
interlaced tunnels). TDA never admitted the existance in this country of how
the survivalists in this country will make out.

The producers decided not to make any attempt at being an educational film and
did not show any of the actual time lapse in order to have the radiation levels
reduce but instead showed one scene at 50 rad then switched to an announcement
of limited exposure at .4 rad? (What happen to the other weeks?) Why not show
the size of the blasts or the actual time involved why not try to educate the
people instead of only fightening them.

For all of the media hype that went along with the showing the movie did very
little to accomplish anything in this country except get many peope away from
other networks in order to increase their ratings.
