The 1989 comedy starring 'Weird Al' Yankovic is planned for Blu-ray in November.
In an early announcement to retailers, Shout Factory will be releasing 'UHF: Special Edition' on Blu-ray on November 11.
George Newman is a daydreamer whose hyperactive imagination keeps him from holding a steady job...until his uncle hires him as manager of Channel 62, a TV station that's losing money and viewers fast. But when George replaces the station's reruns with bizarre programs like "Wheel of Fish," "The Wonderful World Of Phlegm" and "Raul's Wild Kingdom" (where poodles fly from third-story windows), ratings begin to soar! But as the ratings rise, so does the wrath of TV mogul R.J. Fletcher, who wants to turn the station into a parking lot. Can George find the money he needs to stay on the air? Stay tuned!
