weird als album: the TV album is alright altogether with some brilliant parody work occurring interesting songs include the Brady bunch (a parody of the safety dance) here's Johnny and my favourite cable TV there are a number of songs however in my opinion which are not as good such as Ricky (they are good parodies i just don't like the song itself) but in general this album is very good and could easily lighten even the dullest day.

You ever notice "Weird Al" writes a lot of songs about TV?
6 July 2003
Format:Audio CD
If the choice is between a "Weird Al" Yankovic collection such as "The TV Album" or a regular album, then I would almost always affirm my preference for the former. This is especially true since "The TV Album" brings together some of the best satirical songs from the less than stellar early Yankovic albums from the 1980s. Consequently, with this album you pick up "Ricky," which channels "I Love Lucy" by way of Toni Basil's "Micky," the on-point "I Lost on Jeopardy," and the brilliant song "The Brady Bunch," which even manages to work in the lyrics from the show's theme song into a version of "The Safety Dance." "Money for Nothing/Beverly Hillbillies" and "UHF" are the other most recognizable tracks. "The TV Album" is a set below "The Food Album," but then most psychological critics have already established the central importance of food in the work of "Weird Al" Yankovic (the message behind television's medium if you want to invoke Marshall McLuhan). For those who like their "Weird Al" served up from a thematic perspective this saves you the trouble from putting it together yourself.

The TV Album

I think it might be my favorite "Weird Al" Yankovic CD of all of his. It's a great choice!!! If you want a good "Weird Al" Yankovic compilation, buy this one!

An above-average compilation
20 April 2002
Format:Audio CD
Weird Al likes TV. Or does he? YES! This is a great cd. All of Weird Al's songs about TV, being good or bad, are on this cd. The best one is "I Can't Watch This," a parody of MC Hammer's "U Can't Touch This". His other TV songs are funny, too. He knows how to write songs and parodies, making for the funniest artist in the music business. This is a good one, recommended to any TV addict, or anyone for that matter.
