"UHF" Wasn't the name of the station. The name was U62. It was called that because on the old TVs in the US, back when antennae were used, there were two settings - VHF and UHF. The VHF stations (i.e. the low channel numbers) were typically the major networks, while the UHF (i.e. the high channel numbers) were often more local or small-time stations.

[@writerpatrick]

They still use VHF and UHF. The signals are broadcast digitally now. But UHF only goes up to 36 now as the upper stations were sold off for cell phones.

[@splawnrobert]

(Digital Terrestrial Television). I actually got one woman 89 channels for free with nothing but a set of rabbit ear indoor antenna near a window . It didn't even need a signal amplifier.

Personally, being an 80s Child and growing up with his music, I’ve always thought that Weird Al has never gotten enough credit for his non-parody songs; or what people refer to as “pastiche:” Dare To Be Stupid Stuck In A Closet With Vanna White One More Minute You Don’t Love Me Anymore Don’t Download This Song Bob Melanie Pancreas Everything You Know Is Wrong The Night Santa Went Crazy I Remember Larry And, of course, UHF itself!!

Asking someone to tune a digital monitor to a radio frequency today is like asking a kid in the seventies if they used carrier pigeons to warn their village of the incoming red coats.

[@SDWNJ]

The station isn’t called UHF, it broadcasts in the UHF (Ultra High Frequency) band. UHF is the band above VHF (Very High Frequency).

[@QuinStifler]

Thank you, Minty! Who doesn’t love Weird Al?! Briefly, “UHF” was like the KZbin of the PRE-cable TV era when I was growing up in the 70s/early 80s. TVs were like radios, you had to “tune” them in. The VHF channels were the big ones (ABC, NBC, CBS), even before Fox came along! The UHF were all the local stations. Some would barely be visible, even if you fiddled with the “rabbit ears” (anttenae), but others came in just well enough to watch some old cartoons, Gilligan’s Island reruns, or what have you. I spent much of my childhood going ‘round and ‘round that dial and it’s probably where I caught my first glimpse of Godzilla and Doctor Who too! 🤗 Cable TV was such a step up when we all got it! We are absolutely spoiled for choice these days, but your channel is always worth “tuning in”! 🍻

[@Alfetta158]

It's ironic because I gave up on cable some time ago and along with streaming, I've started watching broadcast TV and all the major channels have sub channels that feel like the old UHF stations we grew up with showing tons of old classic TV. The more things change...

[@chriswilliams7601]

A little correction. His 1988 album Even Worse was a huge success. His career was rekindled years before Off the Deep End. UHF was 1989. He wasn't even close to being forgotten or losing his career

[@drewtheunspoken3988]

He wasn't in danger of losing his career but he was shaken by the failure of 'UHF.' Both the movie and the soundtrack. His confidence was shaken enough that he contacted Michael Jackson to get permission to do a parody of 'Black or White' called 'Late Night Snack.' It was the only time Michael Jackson refused, and even Weird Al admitted that it was more out of desperation than inspiration. So while 'Off the Deep End' didn't *save* his career, it certainly revitalized it.

Random anecdote: around the beginning of the 2000s, I knew someone working at a video rental store. They would put staff recommendations on a display. One employee put the DVD case for UHF on the display. Then, Weird Al himself was in town for a concert and went to rent a video. He saw UHF on the staff picks, took the DVD case to the counter, and (jokingly) demanded to see the staff member who picked it, apparently so he could thank him. That's all I remember of the anecdote. I don't know if the guy was working or was off, and I don't know if the "thank you" amounted to anything more than appreciation (like concert tickets or something). Anyway, it was a great illustration of how nice Weird Al is.

I'll never forget, when this movie first came out, my friend and I went to see it. We were the only two in the theater, which made it even more funny, to us anyway.

Hey Minty... Good catch on the name of the George Newman character being named after Alfred E. Neuman, the character in Mad Magazine. There is a second similar Easter egg in the film. The Philo character (played by Anthony Geary) is named after Philo T. Farnsworth who was the inventor of the concept of all electronic television. Prior to Farnsworth's inventions television systems relied on mechanical systems such as Nipkow disks to scan the scene in front of the camera into a "raster" of lines. The results were very low resolution. Farnsworth invented all electronic methods of scanning the scene in front of the camera at much higher resolutions. Overall he had about 300 patents awarded over his career, yet he is almost unknown today. I salute Weird Al for paying homage to him!

We need more of The Farting Dino in the future 😂😂😂😂

Don’t worry about that dumb voice mail. That guy is a clown, your videos are awesome and I enjoy them a lot. I am slowly making my way through your back catalog. Keep up the good work!

[@crystalwolf5195]

Loved this. And whoever left that voicemail is an embarrassment to their entire country. As an American, I'm embarrassed. My hubs and I love your videos. And your outfits. ;) 😁

Oh how I would love to view the complete, 2 1/2 hour cut of UHF! Come on, Al, let us see it! Thank you, MCA, for covering this wonderfully silly movie! I remember watching this with my daughter, and bonding over the inanity! Pure entertainment, and now, pure nostalgia! Much love from Rhode Island, USA.

I didn’t realize that Silva died during the filming. That’s really sad. You’re right; his comedic timing was great.

Bravo Minty. I love UHF so this was a nice surprise.

[@surferdude4487]

One of my favourite films of all time. I saw it at least 3 times while it was in theatres. The Rambo segment and the Spatula City ad were the scenes I remember the most.

I love that you covered UHF. I've been a huge fan of Weird Al since 1982 when I was 7 and have collected every album and every thing else he has done. And in case you didn't know he made a movie before UHF called The Complete Al: the almost true story of Weird Al Yankovic. It was on Amazon prime video a while back so it can be found on streaming. I recommend checking it out if you haven't seen it. And another great video Minty. Thank you for that. You rock!

Whenever you flub something or say something in an unusual way it makes me smile.. thank you for being who you are Minty. Keep it up❤👍

[@IanSowers]

Love your videos, Minty! No, you don't always pronounce everything correctly (who does?) but I love your enthusiasm & passion, and it's great how you often look at lesser-known or nearly-forgotten movies (like 'UHF'). Keep doing your thing!

[@themarcai6394]

Keep on keeping on Minty, fun video. Shout out from T-town. My family used to quote this movie endlessly (and I still do)

[@BrianGardner-vn9oo]

Great video Minty! All your videos make me laugh, keep up the good work, don't ever let the negative people get you down.
