Fifteen years after the original release of Weird Al Yankovic's incredible movie UHF, Rob "Flack" O'Hara went and retraced the steps of our wily hero George Newman and his unlikely sidekick Stanley Spadowski through Oklahoma City. Among other locations he visits Burger World, Channel 8 headquarters, and, of course, Spatula City! Rob has taken screen captures of various locations for the 'before' shots and his own photos that display what the places look like now. Follow the little links at the bottom of the page to follow Rob on his journey back in time.

Who am I?
Daniel Burka
I'm the creative director at Digg and I'm a partner at silverorange. I've also helped found Pownce where I design the UI.
I'm a newish San Franciscan and I play a little disc golf, fall off rock climbing walls, and kick soccer balls over the net.

This is great! I thought UHF was hilarious! It's too bad Al couldn't come back to do another movie. It's also amazing to see how much things change in 15 years. Too bad the station was torn down.

I remember when they tore down that dump the Tulsa World (our local paper) did a story on UHF. Most people here dont know it was filmed here... if they know what it is at all.
