Man, these people should really do some research, eh? To the folks at TiVo and DirecTV: Spell it with me now, kids: Y-a-n-k-o-v-i-c. Now, was that so hard?

I guess lately competence is like courtesy. Optimistically you expect it, but you're never exactly surprised when you don't get it...and you can apply that to any situation you'd like.

Greg, you're being a Negative Nancy again. Stop it!

Does Al make any commentaries on himself during his segment? It's on in a couple hours over here, but I just want to know before I see it. Oh, and if anyone knows, which segment is Al's right before, so I don't miss it?

It's rigfht after the Elvira's Boobs segmant (...heh...) and yes, Al does comment....and SING!

hehe, I love Elvira's segments!

Btw, look for Ben Folds in 85, too!

Well, it's just easier for someone to not do their job. They get paid either way. After all, who's going to take the time to double-check the spelling of "that 'Eat It' guy's" name?

Girls Just Wanna Have Lunch is played in the background of the Ozone Layer segmant in 87



(Either that, or a real spead up version of Cyndi Lauper with fart sounds over it.......)

Michael said Al has a perm! P:(P


I was surprised how much Al stuff VH1 put in the teaser at the very beginning of 85! Go VH1! They need something to attract people to watch it! But other than Michael Ian Black, Al's segment was very good! I liked that footage of the lederhosen! And I was surprised the commentators were generally very nice when they talked about him, and seemed to be "fond" of him. And Al's rendition of Like A Surgeon is a lot better now than 20 years ago. The others who tried to sing should just be shot.




I wonder if Al will talk about UHF in the 3D movies segment in the 89 episode...

At least Al corrected whoever said he had a jheri curl. Wtg, Al!

Yeah, his segment was pretty good. I enjoyed it.

I was thinking the same thing about UHF, tws!

Old school Al goodness also shows up in 88 when they're talking about Naked Gun. Hal Sparks (Who thanks to another "I Love the" show, we know likes Al) describes the scene......


And then Al describes the scene....and You just have to see it
