A comedy that makes fun of TV preachers. A small television station tries to compete with a big religious broadcast network.

What happens

Pray TV (also known as KGOD) is a 1980 American comedy film spoofing televangelism, directed and co-written by Rick Friedberg. The film stars Dabney Coleman, Archie Hahn, Nancy Morgan, Joyce Jameson, Lewis Arquette, Marcia Wallace and Roger E. Mosley, with cameos by Dr. John and the band Devo (who play a Christian rock band named "Dove", an anagram of Devo). Film critics David Nusair and Scott Weinberg note that the 1989 film UHF is very similar in both plot and style to Pray TV. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
