Besides, people have a pretty good sense of being able to look at a TV show or movie in its proper historical perspective.
The black-and-white helps.
FredHuggins, where do you find all these wonderful gems? And thank you for putting them up on YouTube for all of us to enjoy!
Back in the late-90s and early-00s, back before YouTube and torrents became the norm for watching movin' pictures on glowing rectangles, I would find Al fans online (under a different name I don't use anymore) and trade VHS tapes full of Al's TV appearances, of wildly varying ages and video qualities, via snail mail. Within a couple of years I had just about every appearance in circulation.
About two years ago, after a bit of digging through the unlabeled VHS tapes in my closet, I started a blog on the Weird Al LiveJournal called "AL-Tube Fridays." Every week for about a year and a half, I uploaded a unique, new-to-YouTube Weird Al TV appearance (or several of them with a theme, with a random "bonus clip" here and there), and accompanied them with pithy bloggy prose that attempted to be funny as only I desperately can. All 88 weeks are still archived via that link (albeit backwards), so if you'd like to enjoy, enjoy.
