Harvey the Wonder Hamster plays Al'sbest friend. One episode began with Harvey beating Al in a game ofair hockey.Harvey is not an emotionless creature, he expresses his emotionsand thoughts through the use of thought bubbles. For example, whenAl was eating voraciously, Harvey thought of a pig.
Harvey appears in every episode, and in a few also performs manydeath-defying stunts. They and the episodes in which they appear arelocated below.
Harvey the Wonder Hamster has been aroundsince Al's first appearance on ALTV on MTV, and perhaps even before.Though the Harvey in The Weird Al Show is certainly not the samehamster as the original Harvey (they only have a lifespan of two tothree years), he is certainly a worthy successor. He performs hisduties, his stunts and being a best friend to Al, admirably.
