The Weird Al Show was a short-lived television show starring "Weird Al" Yankovic. Produced in association with Dick Clark Productions, it aired Saturday mornings on the CBS TV network from September to December 1997. The show was released on DVD on August 15, 2006.
Al's television set is called "Al TV", which shares the name of another Weird Al show.
The basic plot of this show was that Weird Al was coming to you from a split-level cave twenty miles below the surface of the earth, along with his pet, Harvey The Wonder Hamster. Each show would have a rather loose plot around which strange and weird things would happen. Written by Jonathan D. H. Parshall
Parody accordianist "Weird Al" Yankovic saves TV producer JB Toppersmith (Stan Freberg) from a bear trap and gets a television contract. Al's show comprises of hanging out with his friends Harvey the Wonder Hamster, The Hooded Avenger (Brian Haley), Cousin Corky (Danielle Weeks), Madame Judy (Judy Tetuna), Valerie Brentwood, Gal Spy (Paula Jai Parker), Mrs. Fesenmeyer (Patricia Place), and Bobby the Inquisitive Boy (Gary LeRoi Gray) as they answer Al's Mailbag, watch educational films, watch Fatman cartoons, have Harvey do death defying stunts, see what's on the other channels (including News Anchor Al, Aerobic Instructor Al, the Fred Huggins show, the Uncle Ralphie show, Siskel and Ebert, and Martha Quinn public service announcements), and sing some of Al's famous songs or songs from a special musical guest. Each episode, by FCC requirement, had a lesson, usually given by The Hooded Avenger. Written by doggans
