Sorry, for starting this new thread when the previous is only so far away.  I just thought that being on the top of the page would have a better chance of getting my question answered.

Which question is: Which Mad magazine features the Uncle Nutsy article the Weird Al mentions?  I have the Mad Magazine library on CD, and I'd like to go back and find it, but I don't want to search for hours.

The rest of this is my thoughts.

The UHF DVD is amazing.  You would not believe the lengths I had to go through to obtain it.  The nearest Best Buy had a delayed shipment.  When I went to Fry's Electronics, the clerk told me that they had sold out within the first couple of hours.  I had to break down and order it off Amazon.

Damn I love this movie.  I actually saw it during its theatre run.  I was excited about it.  In fact, I think Stanly Spudowski's "mop" speech is one of the most inspirational speeches in the history of cinema.  I always wished that Al would feature it during his concerts.

Also, I thought I'd bring up a small point I saw during the commentary.  Philo's alien transformation at the end of the movie was made by none other than the Chiodo brothers, of KILLER KLOWNS FROM OUTER SPACE fame.  I also think it's funny that Al names every address the film was made on during the commentary.  Just shows you how hardcore the geek audience is.  Anybody know anybody who actually took the Tulsa UHF tour?

Anyway, go buy UHF.  If you don't like this movie, you're not really human.

I think this is one of the most packed DVDs ever. The scene were Billy Bartie scrapes his elbow always sends me howling.  I was at an Al concert a few years ago, and clips from UHF, including Stanley's speech, were shown on a huge screen.

HURRAY!  HURRAY!  I'm not Hu-man!  I'm not!  Ah hahahahahahah!

Thank you!  Thank you!

Ah hahahahahaha!

Um.  Yeah.  Right.

Forget I said anything.

If it's the "Totally Mad" collection you have, I'm pretty sure you can just run a search for "Uncle Nutzy" and find it.

Then I'm not human either, because I love, love, love this movie!

Weird Al is a god!

Well, what do you know, it worked.  Of course, the search for "Uncle Nutzy" had no results, but "children's show" found it.

If anybody else care's "A Mad Look At A Typical Kiddie Show" is in the March 1965 issue.
