Shatner's Raw Nerve (2008–2011)
10/10
This series is VERY hard to find.
21 November 2020
I have looked for it on DVD for years and can't find it. Supposedly it is on Amazon Prime but I can't find it. I don't see any reruns anywhere. I have searched the internet for a way to buy the series but it is nowhere to be found. And that is truly a crime... this series deserves to be available for people to see.

I really don't know what compares to these interviews. They are not your everyday interviews. Shatner goes deeper than day-time talk show hosts, 20/20, Barbara Walters, etc etc. I am honestly surprised that some of these people allowed Shatner to delve so deep into their past pain. The episode that got me hooked was the one with Carol Burnett. The conversation they had about her past, alcoholism, abuse... the tears that fall out of Shatner's eye were very much real. I can see why this is called Raw Nerve... it is definitely raw. Fans of Shatner will enjoy this because he loses his characteristic ego and drops his emotional guard, and he puts himself into the minds of the people he interviews as they discuss very personal things.

If you can find this anywhere then enjoy it while you can, because it might disappear into the void and just become a fond but short-lived memory for those of us that Tivo-ed it a decade ago.
