Yeah, Al's preformance as the Cabbage Man was great. I could tell it was him as soon as the enormous letters blocked out the entire screen at the begining of the episode saying "And 'Weird Al' Yankovic as the Cabbage Man".

The Cabbage Man should team up with the Slawmeister.

You're a real smarty pants, Dr eBay. Maybe the first time Manda saw this, she didn't catch the beginning.

I didn't mean it in an insulting way. I just meant that the opening credits are rediculously enormous.

Gee, look at this terrible review of this episode of Amazing Stores

:

Going out with a huge, annoying whimper, Amazing Stories ends with this fable. The late Dick Shawn gives his all to this vapid, heartless piece. Rick Overton wears a New York accent like its a XXL shirt on his skinny frame. And Weird Al Yankovic, under wonderful make-up and horrible costuming is (intentionally) intolerable. One of the elements that this (and many other episodes) suffers from is its portrayal of 'real life' events.Going out with a huge, annoying whimper, Amazing Stories ends with this fable.

One of the elements that this (and many other episodes) suffers from is its portrayal of 'real life' events. Dick Shawn has promoted this huge pageant but is portrayed by thirty people sitting around cocktail tables. What would the ticket price have to be to make this evening a success?

How Amazing?
Oh, the pain. Farewell, Amazing Stories

I actually liked this episode. And I thought Dick Shawn was great as the pageant promoter. I also think a comma, and the word "it" is missing from this sentence:

Dick Shawn has promoted this huge pageant but is portrayed by thirty people sitting around cocktail tables.

It should probably have read:

Dick Shawn has promoted this huge pageant, but it is portrayed by thirty people sitting around cocktail tables.

Well, I guess everyone is entitled to their opinion. I just think this guy was a little harsh.
