Lanky comedian "Weird Al" Yankovic is best known for his goofy but dead-on send-ups of #92;pop hits and their videos. He attempted to translate his popularity to feature films with UHF (1989) with little success. He has made cameo appearances in feature films as well. In 1997, he launched a #92;children's television show in which he showed his video parodies and played different characters. It was canceled after a single season, not because the show was bad, but because the network, CBS, canceled all of its live-action #92;children's Saturday morning programming due to consistently low ratings. ~ Sandra Brennan, All Movie Guide
