	UHF (film) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		UHF (also known as The Vidiot from UHF) is a comedy cult film made in 1989.
		However, the critical response was negative and UHF was overshadowed in the theaters by much larger films such as Lethal Weapon 2 and Batman.
		According to Al on the UHF DVD commentary track the two scenes that earned the movie a PG-13 rating from the MPAA are the poodles flying out the window and when Joe Earley (played by Emo Philips) accidentally cuts his thumb off with a table saw.

	Ultra high frequency - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		UHF and VHF are the most common frequency bands for television.
		Modern mobile phones also transmit and receive within the UHF spectrum, and UHF is widely used for two-way radio communication (usually using narrowband frequency modulation, but digital services are on the rise) by both public service agencies and the general public.
		UHF is also widely used in two-way radio systems and cordless phones due to the fact that since UHF signals essentially travel over line-of-sight distances, distant transmissions cannot travel far enough to interfere with local transmissions.

	Ultra high frequency - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
		UHF frequencies have higher attenuation from atmospheric moisture and benefit less from 'bounce', or the reflection of signals off the ionosphere back to earth, when compared to VHF frequencies.
		In Britain, UHF television began with the launch of BBC TWO in 1964, using a 625-line system (which had higher resolution, and therefore required greater bandwidth, than the existing 405-line system).
		A drawback to this is the very large number of small relay transmitters needed to fill in gaps in the main transmitters' coverage, which would not have been necessary wth a VHF system due to its different propagation characteristics.

	Ultra high frequency - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

		However, with the emergence of additional broadcast television networks (Fox, UPN, WB, and Pax), the concentration of media ownership, and the proliferation of cable television, digital television, and DSS in the 1990s, the distinction between UHF and VHF stations has virtually disappeared in the United States.
		In Britain, UHF television began with the launch of BBC2 in 1964, using a 625-line system (which had higher resolution, and therefore required greater bandwidth, than the existing 405-line system).
		BBC1 and ITV soon added their own 625-line services on UHF (British channels 21 to 69), and PAL colour was introduced on UHF only in 1967–1969.

		UHF is all this to me. Even if this movie were nothing but the commercial parodies alone, it would be fully worth the price of admission (whether it's saying "I love you with the gift of a spatula" or seeing the results of a shoddy cemetary, they're some of the best bits in this film).
		In the first part of UHF while George is imagining being in Raiders of the Lost Ark, one of his trusty sidekicks pulls a gun on him while he's not looking.
		UHF was filmed in Tulsa, OK, and made $6.16 million in the theaters.

	deseretnews.com - Movie review: UHF \| Deseret Morning News Web edition
		Despite the 2 1/2-star rating, be advised that your enjoyment of "UHF" is going to be predicated entirely on your fondness for "Weird Al" Yankovic, he of the bizarre, often hilarious music parodies, accompanied by even wackier videos.
		As with any such movie, many of the skits here are very funny, but just as many tend to fall flat.
		"UHF" is rated PG-13, mainly for the blood-spurting comic violence, along with a few vulgar gags.

	UHF - DVD Movie Central
		Every movie reviewer has one or two odd favorites that risks getting their critic’s membership card revoked.
		But if you really embrace what he does, then you’ll find this a film that does for TV and movies what Al has always done with hit songs, and that is to bring them down to a base level in a good-spirited way.
		Oh, and when you watch the movie with this track on, watch out for another surprise or two.

		If you did, this would be an even bigger waste of time than it would've been if you read the whole thing, because you wouldn't have gotten anything out of it.
		Uh yeah, anyway, moving forward, UHF was created in 1989 and stars "Weird" Al Yankovich, Michael Richards, Fran Drescher, and some guy who no one has ever heard of.
		It's a tiny "UHF station on the edge of town." The tiny station miraculously becomes a huge success all at once, and the network goons at channel 8 must stop George, Stanley, and what's-his-face from taking all their advertising revenue.

	Weird Al Yankovic's "UHF" (shot in Tulsa!)
		The UHF TV station is on west Edison on the south side of the road, west of Central H.S. and east of Sand Springs.
		As with all movie sets and locations, it is nondescript, looks like an old transmitter shack and antenna in the middle of an over-grown field.
		Ricardo, that UHF was a great movie and Wheel of Fish is the one thing everyone mentions when the subject comes up.

	UHF Movie with 'Weird Al' Yankovic, Victoria Jackson @ The 80's Movies Rewind -- Home of 80s Movies
		This movie is a great example of triumph over adversity, and as a bonus, the gags hit more often than they miss.
		The little boy that Stanley sprays with the fire hose is Adam Maras, the son of the stunt coordinator for the movie, who is also one of the thugs later on in the movie.
		The soundtrack is a combination of tracks from the movie and several miscellaneous Al songs, including Tone Loc and Fine Young Cannibals parodies and a polka medley of Rolling Stones songs.

		Hands down, UHF is one of the funniest movies I've seen in my life.
		UHF is full of things you'll quote on a weekly basis, things you'll always laugh at (Conan the Librarian and many other unique shows).
		The video for the "UHF" song is included as a bonus, as is Al hosting a series of deleted outtakes, which definitely should've been left off the movie, as most were filler that did nothing to advance the movie.

	Movie Review for UHF - 2002-06-04
		Essentially, UHF is a vehicle for the God of Musical Parody, 'Weird' Al Yankovic, probably intended to promote him as a movie funnyman a la Leslie Nielsen.
		George Newman (Yankovic) is given control of a UHF station by his gambling Uncle Harvey.
		And therein lies what is also very wrong with UHF; It tries too hard, and forgets the number one rule of great comedy - "Timing is everything." There's no relief from the deluge of funny stuff, and it becomes just this huge long squawk of somewhat amusing material.

	Christiana Talks About Stuff Movie Review: UHF
		You know, considering that UHF isn't actually a very good movie, I sure do love it to hell and back anyway.
		I was 11 when it premiered in 1989, and already a big fan of Weird Al Yankovic, though frankly, at that age I had not actually heard most of the original songs that he parodied.
		But she wavered at the last minute and I was forced to leave her behind, thus making this the very first movie that I saw in the theater all by myself.

		His own clumsiness causes the people in the bar Al is in (which just happened to have UHF on the TV) to laugh, and Al realizes that retards make people laugh.
		At the end of the movie, Al kicked Channel 8's ass, met an alien, banged Victoria Jackson, and made a TV show starring a seriously retarded janitor and his clumsy antics famous.

		UHF is one of those movies that points out how odd Hollywood really is. It was the feature film debut of “Weird Al” Yankovic who has been hailed as one of the most creative geniuses of modern radio by a manner of critics and Grammy voters.
		The film was shot under budget in record time and it was originally designed to be a late fall release in the time of the year where films like this could make their mark.
		UHF is a great comedy and we get see Michael Richards before he got famous.

	filmcritic.com Movie Review: UHF
		Since it's debut in the late '80s, UHF has since managed to obtain some sort of cult status; mostly among potheads and manic, munchie-hungry, college kids.
		UHF stars parody song-writer Yankovic as a hapless dreamer who assumes control of a failing UHF television station.
		Honestly, UHF is really just a platform for Weird Al to engage in his usual assortment of skits, song parodies, and wacky hijinks.

		It's a very funny movie if you like Weird Al, and spoofs about other movies, you may like this movie as well.
		Ok so the station probably wouldn't do very well in this day and age, but in the late 80's, when this movie came out, it would have done quite well.
		In my opinion Michael Richards (Kramer from Seinfeld) is the funniest one in the movie.
