Action Comedy Drama

7.0 / 10

George Newman is a daydreamer whose hyperactive imagination keeps him from holding a steady job. His uncle decides George would be the perfect man to manage Channel 62, a television station which is losing money and viewers fast. When George replaces the station's reruns with bizarre programs such as "Stanley Spadowski's Clubhouse", "Wheel of Fish" and "Raul's Wild Kingdom", ratings begin to soar again. Mean-spirited and cynical mogul R.J. Fletcher becomes furious that the UHF station is getting better ratings than his network's programming. Because of gambling debts, the uncle is forced to consider selling the station to Fletcher, who would only too happily shut down (he cannot legally own two stations in the same town). George and his friends organize a 48-hour telethon to raise the money by selling investment stock from Channel 62 to save the town's new favorite station.

In any other year, UHF might've been a megagrossing comedy rivaling the ZAZ movies for "anything goes" style humor. But Orion had to release it in the summer of 1989, where it was up against Indiana Jones, Batman, the Ghostbusters, Capt. Kirk & Mr. Spock, and James Bond. How the suits could not have realized that it would be buried under the weight of all those bigger movies is beyond me. If they had just waited six months, it could've been a huge Christmas film. - @Sunday, May 6, 2018 7:08 AM

The guy doing the voiceover for this trailer is the great Phil Hendrie. He knew Yankovicc when he worked in the mail room at Westwood One. Phil said on his July 5th, 1999 radio show that he was paid $500 to do the voiceover for this. - @Sunday, March 27, 2016 3:36 PM
