The Anna Show is the first cutscene in Saints Row 2.
__TOC__
==Overview==
If the game is left idle at the Title Screen of Saints Row 2, a cutscene plays which gives a decent amount of background information about what happened between Saints Row and Saints Row 2.
The cutscene is a series of television shows. The majority of the this cutscene shows a special on "The Anna Show" called "The problem with poor people", which is interspersed with scenes of other programs on different channels.
The television is ostensibly being watched by Fred, a guard at the Stilwater Penitentiary. At the end of this cutscene, the television is turned off, and the first scene of the next cutscene, Vacation's Over, shows Fred turning off the television.
While this cutscene appears to be a scripted in-engine cutscene the same as all other cutscenes in the game, it is in fact a saved video file, as the game engine is not yet loaded at the title screen.
==Channel 18==
