The first time I flew to Iceland on the aptly-named Iceland Air, the "entertainment" consisted of the entire catalog of Sigur Ros and Bjork. The seat-back screens in the cheap seats had a list of movies that an old UHF channel would have turned its nose up at, and an endless loop of four commercials for wonderful Iceland -- in Icelandic -- that you couldn't turn off. They also insisted in asking people to pay in isk for Icelandic food, which was both a novelty, an annoyance and a source of nausea all in one.
That said, it was better than Air France by a long shot.

Uhh.... Someone's been watching UHF. Almost identical to Gandhi II.

This, Five Deadly Venoms and Crippled Avengers have to be the trifecta of off-beat 70's kung-fu that used to run on Channel 5 KTLA all the time. Makes me miss the days of good ol' UHF/VHF TV.

This is fucking hilarious and at the same time horrifying. doublepromote the madness.
And when was it exactly that Victoria Jackson lost her mind completely?


Probably sometime after she was in UHF, or at least that's the last thing she was in that was funny while being intentionally funny.

Between this and the Michael Richards thing from a couple years back, I'm starting to wonder about the cast of UHF...

I thought she was the wife from Weird Al's seminal 1989 film UHF. And so she is!

I'm convinced Enterprise wouldn't have been canceled if it weren't on UPN. Back in the TNG and DS9 days the shows were syndicated, and they did great. Even the devoted fans who looked up when and where to view it, on a channel they'd never otherwise watch, often couldn't see it because it was on some crappy UHF station. Now that Paramount's experiment with running a TV station has failed, I don't know why they don't greenlight another syndicated series.

Also, yes, horrible music.

Thanks!
