959.0. "UHF" by BUSY::SLABOUNTY (Act like you own the company) Tue Oct 24 1995 09:30
Weird Al Yankovic, Michael Richards, Victoria Jackson, Kevin
McCarthy, Billy Barty, Gette Watanabe, Dr. Demento, Belinda
Bauer, Anthony Geary.
Michael Richards is now Kramer on "Seinfeld", Anthony Geary is
[or was ... haven't watched this show in over 10 years] Luke
on "General Hospital", and Belinda Bauer was the dark-haired
evil doctor in "Robocop II".
Weird Al plays Norman, a guy who just can't seem to hold onto
a job for any length of time. So his aunt suggests that his
uncle, who has just won a UHF station in a poker game, let him
manage it. The station is hurting, so he can't do too bad.
And the movie basically consists of promos for a bunch of new
shows [action/adventure/game] that Norman creates.
And of course there's a sub-plot ... a rival network station
doesn't like the competition and wants to buy them out.

And I forgot to add Emo Philipps to the cast list.
He played a shop teacher who, of course, chopped his finger
off while using a saw.

| 959.3 | the "promo" bits were great | MEO78A::VISSER | Klaas Visser - Digital Direct | Wed Oct 25 1995 23:14 | 13 |
| I thought some of the promo bits were really good.
The talk show one, where the topic was:
Lesbian nuns abducted by aliens, and
forced into weight loss programs...
cheers
