User blog:ARTaylor/20 years of The Weird Al Show

Today marks the twentieth anniversary of the premiere of The Weird Al Show. The series followed comedian and musician "Weird Al" Yankovic as he lived in a cave and taught educational lessons to the audience featuring his unique brand of humor. The series only lasted one season for thirteen episodes on CBS's short lived Saturday morning programming. Additionally, CBS had conflicts with the educational nature and Yankovic's traditionally more adult humor. The series was produced by Dick Clark, who also appeared as himself, and featured the talents of Billy West as the show's announcer, Beau Weaver as the channel-hopping announcer, Patton Oswalt as Seymour, Jess Harnell as Dr. Legume, and Matthew McCurley as Huey.
