The dvd for this is at Best Buy, right?

I tried looking and didn't see it. I miss this show.

Best Buy should carry it, but I believe some people had trouble finding it there when it first came out. Your best bet would be to call around to various stores and ask.

So they did one take of Al saying "It's Barenaked Ladies!" and another with "It's BNL!" in case the network wouldn't let them say the band's name.

OK, thanks. I must have misheard them.

I've been watching more and so far one of my favorite parts is the Morpho Man ad!

But there are so many funny parts, they more than make up for some of the cringe-worthy "message" parts and the beating you over the head with a joke parts. I really don't like Fatman though.

Next time I head out there I'll definitely give a better look. I know I didn't see it at any SunCoast, Wal-Mart or FYE when I was out.

Just cause I want my favorite show, nobody wants to carry it.

Also, one of those stores should be able to special order it for you if they don't normally carry it.

I never thought to special order it. I've only had like one special order cause the dvd I wanted sold out. But I should hopefully be getting Al's soon. Somebody owes me a favor.

I went to my Best Buy and all they said was order in online. I then went to my bookstore and bought it there. It was a little extra, but I needed it. I still want WAY: Live so I'll have to go to Best Buy again.

Folks, you may congratulate me. Just about a week ago, I ordered the entire box set of the Weird Al Show!!! Yay!!!

Meanwhile, I went on YouTube to find some episode in order to learn more about what Weird Al's Show looks like. Frankly, I was a little bit aware of the first impression, since I heard from this very place that this is a kiddie show, so generally I didn't expect any, well, humor in a general way of speaking. But the episode I found - How To Learn To Appreciate People Who Are Different From You - was FAR beyond my expectations. It was just the EXACTLY what I wanted to see on screen. No politics. No religion offense. No sex jokes. No profanity. No bathroom humor. In fact, no general humor at all. But such a perfect world of WACKINESS!!! I mean, really, I laughed very, very hard from the beginning to the end. I loved everyone - Al, Bobby the Inquisitive boy, filthy coalminers, the ever-present Harvey - well, everyone! For me, the best segment of the episode was Al and coal-miners switching channels - above all, a very clever parodies of what actually happening on TV (in a very wacky sort of way, of course). And this!!! "Got Milk? GOT MILK?!" It was one of the funniest things I ever watched in my life.

Well, to sum it all up - I really enjoyed the show and the very special kind of humor that Al worked up for all these years, and I guess I'll never regret of ordering it. Yay! Loveya.

SEVA.

That is a great episode! I wasn't expecting Michael McKean to come bursting through the wall (probably because I only know him as "Spinal Tap" guy). The cheese song at the end was great too.

But he is Lenny! How can you recognize him as Spinal Tap guy, and not Lenny?!?!
