Prevue Guide Guru Meditation 10/9/91

[thesnare100]

Well, I don't miss all those ads we used to see for Psychics. Actually, I wanted to try one once, a free hour, just for fun, never got the chance. It must have hit a wall or something, cause we never see ads for them anymore on tv.

[phuturephunk]

LOL, David Scott, REINCARNATIONIST! XD XD. I remember this ish from back then.

[deenage]

I definitely remember this. Where I live (Florida) Preview Guide aired on Channel 18.

[ariw2003net]

Hmm. I wonder if UVSG screwed up their "main" Amiga's serial number that day and caused it to show Tulsa listings over the C-band instead of the generic ones.

[YoNoEntiendo]

I liked when prevue tonight would show all the adds for "Mac and Me 2"

[YoNoEntiendo]

Wasn't this the theme song to either "Mac and Me" or "Munchie Strikes Back" but Dulce was great at Selling Furniture.

2:23 to 2:24 border around Prevue

[singinglawnchair]

Lol @ 1:33 - the red border is around the word "REINCARNATION".

[plateshutoverlock]

I like how elegantly the Amiga handling the video

errored out. On a Windows box, it would probably be a static and silent BSOD or a big opaque dialog box blocking everything behind it.

[japstoryeditor]

Oh how I miss the Prevue Channel.

[kefkaroth]

same here i use to watch this like 15 hours a day when i was younger back in 90

[Steril707]

Amiga rocks...

[kargaroc386]

also, in the ID, the "PREVUE" is perfectly inside the red box.

[kargaroc386]

that tape's tracking is f***ed up. you could hear the pitch change.

[MiltownPunkette21]

Haha, yeah, it really is.....going from the right note to half a step down....LOL

[DaddyOD13]

I still have my Amiga. They were the best in their day.

[Rogueofmv]

I remember Prevue... it used to be our TV Guide when I was 4 or 5 years old. :D

[gonzales10g]

did someone notice the changed of color from red to Blue on 1:30?

[barringer82]

I'd WAIT for that when I was a kid

[winerrs]

Weird how amiga generated an error during the prevue guide.

[KamionRenokai]

Good one, tovara22! Hey, did anyone happen to look at the promo on the right-side screen at 0:50? Why weren't they playing the audio for that?

[tovara22]

"We're here 24 hours a day or until a software error takes us out...This software sponsored by Microsoft...where do you wanna go today?" LMFAO

[tehm0dul4r]

LULZ!

[woddfellow2]

This is interesting.

I live in that market.

[92days]

Aw crap now we have to reboot it. QUICK!! push the off button.

[seconteen13]

[keiichiudagawa]

anpanman!

[smkdown]

Oh Well OK

wolfschmid11 said, Do you have any more prevue guide videos?

[clonehappy]

Not as far as I know, but I havent had time to go through my many videotapes. If I come across any more, they will be posted.

[thesnare100]

@clonehappy if you find any recordings of prevue guide before August of 90 can you post it here? That's just before I lost prevue guide when I moved to a cable-less town

[rzsigray1]

add some ubuntu with beryl for that...it would make it look really cool..too bad the amiga can't do wobbaly wynders LMAO

[yankeesneverdie]

I remember the reincarnation commercial when I was 6..scared the hell out of me. haha! Hmm..I wonder who I was in the past?

[swbrwnskin1]

wtf

[tvpirate05]

I used to love that background music!

[kstar8706]

Ah, the good old Commodore Amiga "Guru Meditation" error (their equivalent to the Windows 9x/Me Blue Screen Of Death). I actually saw this once (and only once) on Memphis Cablevision's Prevue Guide back in 1992. Talk about an oddity! Seemed it was more common to see screw-ups like having two promos running at the top with no audio than a full out crash.

[wolfschmidt11]

thanks!!!! do you have any more prevue guide videos? I mean full-length videos of prevue guide from 1988 to 1998?
