DUDE! Right when I read that, I switched on VH1 Classic to see what's on...AND THEY'RE SHOWING AL'S EPISODE OF REMOTE CONTROL!!! So...yeah! No kidding!

EDIT: According to the VH1 website, the hour currently being broadcast (containing clips, apparently, and not the entire episode, of Remote Control w/ Al) is HOUR 8 (of 12) of this MTV30 marathon. Hour 8 will air again on Sunday the 31st (later today, technically) at 2PM, and Monday the 1st at 5AM and again at noon (all times ET/PT). I will DVR all twelve hours of this to see if any clips of Al appear in any other hours, so check back for updates. (There's also gonna be a thirteenth hour that replicates MTV's first-ever hour of broadcast...but Al didn't have any videos yet then so the odds of him appearing are nil.)

Thanks for mentioning this. I loved Remote Control! Too bad they are not airing more episodes.

Well, if you're a huge Remote Control fan, they showed clips from another episode (w/ the Red Hot Chili Peppers) during Hour 5, which will air again at 3PM tomorrow (Monday August 1).

UPDATE: It appears Al's only appearance in this big MTV retrospective is in that episode of Remote Control.

It's at least good to see that Al's included as a part of MTV history, alongside such great, important things like Rick Astley, Debbie Gibson, and Puck getting kicked out of the house :Y
You have quickly thought up such matchless phrase?

I'm sure it wasn't because it was Al. More likely they just grabbed an episode at random

There was just an episode of "Still Standing" on ABC where they were talking about buying tickets to a Weird Al concert :D
I'm not sure if he was in any other part of the episode or just mentioned. I caught it when it was almost over.

Still, cool!

The plot was they were trying to hide the fact that they didn't have tickets to a show, so they played the pity card and took the sons tickets off his dresser and pit them through the wash so it looked like they ruined their tickets. When Brian found out he said "you took my Weird Al tickets that I had signed by his drummer Jon Bermuda Schwartz after the show?" later in the episode the friend confronted him about it and said "You forgot how important signed Weird Al tickets are to a nerdy boy". I honestly thought that line would make the clips for the last tour. I just thought it was cool that the writers put Jon in there, I'm guessing they were a fan.

That was a great show! Don't remember that episode. I remember one where they have AC/DC tickets and they can't go or they do and get in to some sort of trouble or something.
What a racket they're makin', Jack, they keep me up at night playin' their electric guitars!!
