Yeah, that was funny!

I still liked the Tull segment. At least, Al's part.

I actually thought the flute comment was a bit uninspired (it seemed a little too much like the other "generic" comments the other people were offering, like the non-specific slams on "dirty hippies" in the "1970" episode), but yeah, Al crooning "Aqualung" a moment later makes up for it.

Yes, the singing part was the best. I didn't mind his comment as much as the others, though, although I didn't start playing the flute to start a rock band.

While you're keeping your eyes open for Al appearances, Evan Wecksell, who you might remember played at the big Weird Al Star Fund benefit show, will also be on for a few segments.

1973 during "Password"
1978 during "Ice Castles"

He might be on other times too, those are just the ones he knows for sure. I hope someone remembered to tape this for me....

I have TiVo set to record each episode... I have 1970 and 1971 in the Now Playing... I just haven't sat down to watch them yet.

huh, surprised there's not more chatter in here about Al's appearances on the show (as few as they may be). yeah I know, the episodes are pretty painful to watch (like SNL), but there have a been a few good moments (unlike SNL)...

One that springs to mind is Al's comment about Susan Sarandon's boobs in Rocky Horror: "That's there to throw a bone to the straight guys in the audience... both of them."

And something about the Pink Panther. can't remember the exact quote at the moment.

It was something to the effect that a "Pink Panther" is either a rare diamond or a gay militant African-American.

Sooo, is anyone else bummed out that Al didn't show up once during the segment on "Disco Duck?" It was only one of best-selling comedy singles of all time, so why on earth would Weird Al need to comment on this?

Man, I really hate these shows! Michael Ian Black needs to become the tragic victim of a bulldozer attack.

Yeah, was Al even anywhere in that episode?
