Prevue Guide Forums

I love the video of the Gorilla throwing the bone in the air and it coming down as a remote and then zapping on the Prevue Guide. Absolute classic!!

And the movie Zandalee is one of the earliest memories that I have of the original Prevue Guide in my hometown. That first 6 months of Prevue guide before my cable company disabled the full top half screen intros for local ads.

Also, I think this video also helps point out that the tagline change from "Just what you are looking for" to "We are what's on" had to have taken place between March or April of 1992. I have a video of TVNUTBOY's from May of 1992 and the new intros and bumpers had already been introduced.

All in all, great video.

Thanks,
Steven

I've seen that video a couple of days ago.

I know right. Great find for me right there.

I found another clip, this time from the early days of the TV Guide Channel era. This video came from North Attleboro, MA on February 8, 1999 (clip starts at 0:25). Unfortunately, this is only a short clip. But interestingly, notice that the copyright notice on the grid still mentions "Prevue Networks, Inc." even though it was already less than eight days after when TV Guide took over what was previously the Prevue Channel.

Frankly brilliant, loved the reference to people with too much time on their hands - I wish that were still true but found it very funny! I have watched this guys videos before, I was led it them as he's briefly covered prevue guide before now.

Did someone do the usual thing that seems to happen to poor youtubers and jump on him in the comment for full rips of his laserdisks?

I didn't know that "Era #1" had the "Prevue Tonight" music?

I thought that the 1991 music was just the only music on Prevue Guide.
