The strange misadventures of 'Weird Al' Yankovic.

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.—Jonathan D. H. Parshall <[email protected]>

Parody accordionist "Weird Al" Yankovic saves TV producer JB Toppersmith 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, Cousin Corky, Madame Judy, Valerie Brentwood, Gal Spy, Mrs. Fesenmeyer, and Bobby the Inquisitive Boy 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.—doggans
