Season 1

Ever since his 1979 breakthrough hit, "My Bologna" and 1983 self-titled breakthrough album, "Weird Al" Yankovic has built a solid reputation as a proven purveyor of parody musical satire. His hit classic film, UHF, a string of Grammy Awards, and an avid (if not rabid) fan following made his 1997 television series, The Weird Al Show, a cosmic inevitability. Yankovic's signature silliness, warped comedy, original songs, TV and movie spoofs, offbeat animation, and ability to attract a wonderful and motley collection of special surprise guests are what make the 13 episodes of this CBS Saturday morning show a treasure chest of all things Al. As an inventor living in a secret subterranean workshop, Weird Al's world includes his pet (Harvey the Wonder Hamster), his superhero neighbor (The Hooded Avenger), the hysterical twisted animated "Adventures of Fatman," and a quirky roster of friends and guests, including Drew Carey, Dick Clark, Dr. Demento, Stan Freberg, Teri Garr, Gilbert Gottfried, Victoria Jackson, Kevin McCarthy, Michael McKean, Bill Mumy, Patton Oswalt, Dick Van Patten, Emo Philips, Randy "Macho Man" Savage, John Tesh, Judy Tenuta, Fred Willard, and Dweezil Zappa. Live musical performances by such bands as The Barenaked Ladies, Hanson, and of course Al himself make The Weird Al Show a must-have, timeless delight for all his fans.
