Paese d'origine: USA
Location del set: Tulsa, Oklahoma, USA
Versioni alternative: - The Comedy Central version cuts quite a bit out of such a short film - mainly bits related to animal cruelty, such as much of the "Raoul's Wild Kingdom" scene (involving teaching poodles how to fly) and the punchline of car commercial (the owner threatens to club a baby seal if buyers don't come). Among other bits cut: a scene regarding gun nuts; part of the scene where Emo Phillips loses a finger in a saw; most of the first "Uncle Nutzi's Funhouse" scene (probably because the final punchline involves a guy accidentally eating dog treats); the part of the "Conan the Librarian" sequence where a guy says he has an overdue library book, and Conan bloodlessly cuts him in half with an axe; a sequence with an elderly lady who knees R.J. in the crouch.

Plot: An unemployed visionary finds a job as the manager of a television station his uncle owns. Unfortunately, due to gambling debts, the uncle is forced to consider selling the station to a rival station's owner. With popular less-then network standards of programming, George and his friends try to save the town's new favorite station. The wortless daydreaming slob George Newman can't keep a job for more than a few days at a time before he gets fired. Fortunately, his uncle wins a UHF television station in a poker-game (it was almost bankrupt), which George Newman is put in charge of. Will the new job be any different from the last few jobs he's had?
