The Big Fat UHF Topic

The Commentary is great. I love it because it has so much more info in it than other commentarys. Like some of The Simpsons DVD commentary all I hear in them are laughing and nothin about the episode. In the UHF commentary its non-stop info about the movie.

I LOVE it!

The commentary was very MST3K-esque, and as a result was funny. Also, as WAF27 pointed out, it gave a lot of info on the movie (I didn't know Joel Hodgson was originally picked to play Philo).

He probably did a ton of research to get ready for that. Not to mention, I bet there is a Notebook or two for UHF.

Dang, I'd love to get my hands on one of those Notebooks! That's my fan-girl dream.

Test Patterns-One of the stations around here, still has an end to the broadcast day, it's like right after, Smackdown!, National Anthem plays, you know how it goes. We used to have a local network like U62, I'm pretty sure it's not on anymore, though.

The Commentary, is great for UHF. I really appreciate all the info that Big Al puts in it. Jay's great in it as well. I need to go to Tulsa.

The commentary for UHF is great! Man, those critics were hard on UHF like Al said durring the credits.

How does such a small building have so much room to produce so many shows? If you count only the shows that star one of the U62 employees -- Secrets Of The Universe, Stanley Spadowski's Clubhouse, News (from deleted scenes), Town Talk, Telethon, Wheel Of Fish, Strip Solitaire -- that's a lot of sets in that tiny building!

Well, Secrets of the Universe is in Philo's lab. Uncle Nutzy's Clubhouse looked kind of like the same set as the News, and Stanley Spadowski's Clubhouse was the same at first, until they fixed it up.

As for the others...nobody said they were all taped in the same building, did they?

Or maybe it's mind over matter. The building isn't too small to have all these shows taped in it, that's just what you see physically. But spiritually, U-62 is large enough to have all those shows taped in it...

Yeah, it doesn't makes sense... :lookround:

Nobody said they were the same building, and obviously Raul's Wild Kingdom and Bowling For Burgers were filmed offsite, but for a small budget station like U-62, you'd think they'd not have the money to rent other space to produce shows.

Plus I forgot to mention that the building also has the reception area, where Pamela's desk is, the area where George's desk is if not the same, and Philo's lab!
