For real though, "Is WEIRD AL the next PEEWEE HERMAN??" is probably the closest you could get to shameless clickbait in the 90s. MatPat would be proud.

I've always been surprised that Weird Al never became a KZfaqr; this is the perfect platform for his style of comedy

It's ironic that a network wanted to bury a show with Weird Al in it considering how many show's he's appeared in over the past decade or so.

At least Milo Murphy’s Law can serve as a respectable spiritual successor to The Weird Al Show, even if it was just Weird Al playing the lead.

Imagine being a jerk to Weird Al, one of the most genuinely chill and nice guys in the hell hole that is and was the entertainment and music industry. I feel like that should be physically impossible.

I can't believe that they rejected Mrs. Fesenmeyer's original actor just because she was too ethnic.

What is funny is that Weird Al actually has an album called Running with Scissors.

I remember catching this when it was on CBS. I think it was listed in my local newspaper's tv listings section. I see the words Weird Al and just tuned in every week since. I remember the following year when he did AL TV he mentioned how the network thought how dumb the kids would be and mentioned the whole Immatatable behavior arguement. He then proceeded to take a (prop) knife and jam it into his arm causing himself to bleed and said something to the effect of "What kid would be stupid enough to take a sharp knife and hurt himself" then proceeds to faint from bloodloss. At least I think the fainting happned.

Short lived and underrated.

It's so weird how a network will greenlight a show and then so throughly work against its creators.

Imagine how well a Weird Al show would do today? I’m sure if it was online or something people would definitely watch.

I feel so bad for Al and he went through with this show.

A studio run by karens is dead on arrival, weird al is a good man and a good teacher, hé deserved better

The lessons here are:

Ratchet: Are you crazy, or just stupid?!

This is even worse than the treatment the Pinky and the Brain teams had. Al's show was great but I wish the network wouldn't breathe down his neck all the time

I can't begin to imagine how this must've impacted his music recording.

I remember this show being moved to Sunday mornings in my area. The network knew exactly what it was doing. Thank you for this video!

How about MST3K, it was treated badly by

Thankfully with the age of streaming services, show creators can finally have creative freedom without those uptight network exects breathing down on their necks.
