Track listing

Every track on this album has to do somewhat with TV. They include:

Notes

*The "The TV Album" was released only grudgingly by Yankovic. At the time, Scotti Bros. had insisted on putting out a new Weird Al album in order to meet fiscal projections for that quarter, despite the fact there was no album ready ("Bad Hair Day" would not be released until one year later). Yankovic would later describe this album, along with "The Food Album" as a "cheesy compilation" put out "against [his] better wishes and judgement." [ [http://weirdal.com/aaarchive.htm#0299 "Weird Al" Yankovic: The Ask Al Archive ] ] To this day, neither "The Food Album" nor "The TV Album" are liked by Yankovic, as he thinks the concept of the compilations are "ridiculous". [ [http://weirdal.com/aaarchive.htm#0599 "Weird Al" Yankovic: The Ask Al Archive ] ]

*Due to a merchandising deal with Muchmusic, this album was released in Canada under the name "The MuchMusic TV Album".
