[edit] Name

I believe this film is called "UHF" in all English-speaking countries, not just the USA.

Scratch that, sorry - it was called "Vidiot from UHF" in Australia. It was definitely called just "UHF" in the UK, though. 217.155.20.163 23:47, 4 September 2006 (UTC)

Also, the term UHF is not US-centric - it stands for "Ultra High Frequency", and means the same thing to all native speakers of the English language. 217.155.20.163 23:40, 4 September 2006 (UTC)

Yes but the term has a different meaning specific to the US, That of a low budget station. Basically because TVs weren't required to have a UHF Tuner before 1968. It still took longer for the UHF Stations to be popular in the bigger markets. The Concept of Channel 8 in the Movie being a Network station and U62 as a low budget Independent.

[edit] Twinkie Wiener sandwich?

What? Why is this even here? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by SuperGerbil (talk • contribs) 21:44, 21 March 2007 (UTC).

Removed section. Is only a corollary to the film and has no place in the article, except maybe a brief mention in the trivia section. "UHF introduced the Twinkie Weiner Sandwich." Soonercary 20:10, 26 March 2007 (UTC)

Excellent. Let's see what other information we can delete! Long live Wikipedia! 71.131.228.29 04:51, 31 May 2007 (UTC)
