Genre: Comedy, Spoof, Cult Classic, Scams And Cons, Kidnapping, Aliens, Mad Scientists, Showbiz, Satire, Campy
Tagline: TV as it was meant to be seen. In a movie theater.
Plot: Funnyman "Weird" Al Yankovic stars in this comedy as George Newman, a man who takes over a low-rent TV station won by his uncle in a poker game. Newman's unconventional methods for boosting ratings include giving the station's janitor his own children's program -- with spectacularly successful results. Complications ensue when the unscrupulous head of a rival network tries to drive Newman off the air, but there's still plenty of time out for fantasy music video segments and TV bits which showcase Yankovic's talents as a parodist.
