Ever since his 1983 self-titled breakthrough album, "Weird Al" Yankovic has been unsurpassed as a proven purveyor of parody. His classic film UHF, a string of Grammy awards® and his undisputed fanbase made his 1997 television series on CBS a cosmic inevitability.

For the first time EVER on DVD, The Weird Al Show - The Complete Series pulls together all 13 episodes in one expansive 3-DVD box set. Yankovic?s signature warped comedy, original songs, TV and movie spoofs, twisted animation and ability to attract a wonderful and motley collection of special surprise guests are what make this a treasure chest of all things Al.

Great concept, wrong target audience doomed it, great comentary.

I think I was able to see most of this show when it ran on TV, and wasn't suprised when it didn't make it past the 13 episode first season. Wierd Al is an Icon of the music industry for his parodies of popular songs. Some big artist have been quoted saying they know they "made it big" when wierd al Parodies one of their songs. So, with High hope,especially with his UHF film riding high in my mind, This show fell way short of it. As Wierd al points out on commentary, the constraints placed on the show were rediculous, and many scenes hit the cutting room floor, now lost forever. If it would have been played on comedy central or some other unrestricted channel or time, this show may have hit it off with teens and young adults. Unfortunate fate for a decent humor show, but now I can enjoy it on DVD, and it's not to expensive either. Worth the few bucks for any Wierd al fan.

Weird Al's weird kid's tv show

My son remembers this show from when he was younger, he still loves it. He particularly enjoys the commentary by Weird Al and others on the story behind certain things that were done in each episode. Weird Al's show was a fun and entertaining alternative to the normal children's offerings of superheroes etc.
