OMG, hearing Arrested Development in that commercial for DMX (which I totally wanted back in 1993) is a total time warp moment for me -- they remain the only hip-hop group I've ever liked! Actually, the whole of this clip was a time warp for me, esp looking at the programming lineup -- remember when Comedy Central aired good standup? Or when MTV still showed videos? Or when you could actually *learn* from TLC? No wonder we need 500 channels these days; the original 40 don't air jack anymore.

Interesting at 3:52 they show the viewers what all the little symbols in Prevue's listings mean. I don't know how I missed this when I watched it in 2006. lol

Who's that guy in the SUPERFIGHTS ad? he looks familiar. Great catch!

Why would they say scrambling is done by the satellite to prevent people who don't pay to cough up the money?? Cable and sat are two different animals. That looks like a ZENITH cable box, too!!
Also, the DMX was an early form of digital cable. I miss the old analog days. How long did they scramble WGN and TBS?

lol when I was browsing the Killer Tracks music library, I found out that the short jingle at 2:18 is called 'In Pursuit'.

@jmkord Thanks! I thought it was a pre-Bright House Paragon Cable, since some of the Paragon became Bright House Networks. I think the Orlando and Tampa Bright House Networks used to be Paragon Time Warner Cable systems, so that's why I wondered if that was the case.
