Uhf Tapestries
Description: George Newman, a daydreaming slacker who bounces between jobs, is put in charge of Channel 62, a UHF television station, after his uncle Harvey Bilchik wins ownership of it in a poker game. George and his friend Bob Steckler realize the station is nearly bankrupt, subsisting on reruns of old shows like The Beverly Hillbillies and Mister Ed. When a package meant for its competitor, VHF station Channel 8, is misdelivered to Channel 62, George decides to deliver it himself, only to be rudely dismissed by RJ Fletcher, owner and CEO of Channel 8. Outside, George meets a janitor, Stanley Spadowski (whom RJ had recently and unfairly fired after falsely accusing him of discarding a missing report), and hires him at Channel 62.

Description: Lesbian nazi hookers abducted by UFOs and forced into weight loss programs. All this week on Town Talk! UHF is hands down one of the funniest movies I have ever seen. It does not get talked about enough. Wheel of fish, Stanley's Clubhouse, Spatula City, drinking from the firehose...classics!
