I am very keen to get a copy of this. Did I say that yet already? Ahh not on *this* page yet

Just a warning about this show: One of my friends at work said she saw a preview of the show and Al was in tears over something a fan said after the death of his parents. Apparently the person said because Al did a show shortly after his parents passed away, it showed that he didn't really care about them very much.

Just a warning to those of you with high blood pressure, because I know how angry that makes me.

Oh, how horrible. Poor Al. That is quite possibly the coldest thing anyone could have said to him, and so not true.

Good Lord.. Well that person was CERTAINLY no fan

After this show airs I think there is bound to be people who will have a pop at Al over it on Twitter, and I think in general people like that ought to be ignored rather than dragging all this up over and over and causing more pain. I think Al will block anyone who upsets him anyway as he did one persistent tweeter who constantly asked for an @reply.

So in my opinion I think we should avoid engaging with anyone who is really offensive, because its only going to prolong it for Al, and I'm guessing none of us wants to be blocked.. Can we agree on that? What do all of you think?
Al did warn us the show was going to be challenging to watch, but we have to remain objective. Its a huge privilege that he is sharing those emotions with us. Lets make it so he doesnt regret doing that with us at least. There will always be haters, and there IS a BLOCK button
.. just saying...

Wow. Shatner is very talented getting that kind of emotion out of Weird Al. I didn't really care about this before but now I am VERY interested in seeing this interview.
