Episode Summary

EDIT

AIRED: 9/27/97

Al is trying to write a song about cheese when some miners crash through a wall in his living room. Al believes that the miners are very rude, and they begin to fight and shout at each other. The Hooded Avenger tells Al to quit fighting, and they do quit by watching some TV. They have fixed the wall when a bolder comes crashing down through it. Al makes some split-pea fudge to keep the underground rats away, therefore, making the wall "fixed". Because of this, the miners decide to help Al with his cheese song.moreless

As much as I love Weird Al...

6.0

By McKellars, Sep 11, 2008

It's not like I went in expecting much. I figured it would be something like "Pee Wee's Playhouse" only not as good. Even if I do like Weird Al and Paul Reubens equally, I knew that this wasn't going to be as good.

I'm sort of treating these early words as a pilot episode or even a show review but the reason is that it was the first episode of "The Weird Al Show" that I have ever seen. Anyways, more on the episode. I found the plot to be nothing special, I know it's a kids show but even for kids I'm sure it wasn't that entertaining.moreless
