Definitely nostalgia. I was 13-15 years old at the time and going through big changes in my life. Watching and definitely listening to these clips bring me back to those days when my mom, my brother and I were picking up the the family pieces after losing my father. Takes me back to those early relationships I had with girls...falling in love, having my heart broken. Also brings me back to those times just hanging with my friends, coming up with night and weekend plans. Some may say this is silly, but it was real...still is real to me. Thanks to you and all those who post these incredible time capsule videos. Enjoy your lives everyone. We won’t be here forever.
@@bbflorida3682 I’m right there with you. I remember this channel vividly and just happen to stop on this channel while makin’ out with the girl next door while her parents were gone for the weekend. Great times, amazing how something so simple as a scrolling guide can have such a positive impact forever.
The year is 1990. You come home from work one Friday night, cook dinner, sit down on your chair, turn on your television set and watch the Prevue Guide. You're then settled in for the weekend.
I was four years old in 1990 but I remember growing up with The Prevue Guide and TWC. Sometimes it was nice just to watch the channels scroll by, listen to the music and see all the different previews. Very simple times. I miss things like these, so it’s nice to see others upload a full hour, heck, even a few minutes of it.
OK, thank you for this. I had this on in the background and ended up finding out the title of a movie that I only remembered a snippet of from when my Grandma was watching it back in the day on HBO - Richard Pryor as a blind guy driving a car, which ended up being "See No Evil, Hear No Evil". Also, the music brings me right back to the early 90's.
Dude, the Prevue Guide music, i remember it so well. It really brings back the memories. Can't tell you how many times i was searching for something to watch on Prevue Guide and after having found absolutely nothing of interest, i just left it there...auto scrolling and playing that music while i did other things...read books, played video games, talked on the phone, did house work. It was the official background music of my life in Oklahoma City for about 9 years. I discovered MST3K on it, watched it every Saturday at about 10AM. Thanks a million for uploading this.
This is just how I remembered it, slowly, slowly, waiting for the scroll to reach a certain point. Just a couple of years earlier, TNT had been on channel 35 and MTV was on channel 2. The next channels I remember being added were Prime Sports, the Learning Channel, and Sci-Fi when it debuted.
When I was a kid and there was nothing I wanted to watch on I would just sit and watch it scrolling. Often I was staring at the clock waiting for a specific show to start.
I don't remember the original scroll, only the blue one that came later on. I'd often watch it in mysterious curiosity. I couldn't read at the time so it was fascinating. Maybe it was the music.
Is this a revision of the music? The instruments sound a bit different and they're higher quality. Either way, this is probably the highest quality version I've heard of it.
Dang, it's cool to see an entry for a first-run airing of the last episode of the first season of Twin Peaks on channel 14 KTKA at 9:00PM. This video represents a world before anyone saw Coop get shot.
10:38 - NBA Playoffs: Phoenix vs. Portland. Porkland would win that, later going to the finals and losing to my then-favorite and hometown Detroit Pistons.
"Loverboy"--back when the idea of Patrick Dempsey playing a gigolo was comical. If he remade the film today, ladies would be arm-wrestling for front row seats
@@someguy23475 Yes, Sunflower Cable carried stations from both markets, given Lawrence's location between the two cities. Over the air, though, Kansas City stations were much easier to receive.
So it's come to this. It's Friday night, and I'm sitting at home watching a 25 year old Prevue Guide scroll. What the hell happened to me?!?
Flashback Moments
What happened to television that a 25 year old Prevue Guide scroll is more interesting than anything on the air now?!

It's amazing to remember this as a kid; then seeing what options we have now that render this obsolete. Amazing how far it's come in over 30 years.
And it's not perfect even though this was better regular tv in 2024 stinks
Thank you for saving this. The detritus of pop culture is more powerful than the stuff itself.
Good ol days! Man I miss the 90's!
I was in seventh grade during this time. Lately I've been playing this song in my head. It brings back memories.

Am I the only one who watches Prevue Guide from 31 years ago for entertainment?
nope
Nope. I still watch these videos every night in bed to fall asleep. I have a playlist on loop...
Me too!
Nope. I love these! It takes me back to better times.
No, Sir/Ma’am!
I Rembered The Preview Guide Channel When I Was Living In Macon,Georgia During The Early 1990's Cox Cable Carried It For A Long Time!
Quarantine view watching 1990 Prevue guide terrific!

Cool, 1 full hour of Prevue Guide.

I was about to turn 12 on this day. I love that this video is bringing back so many good memories. 😍
OMG!! I remember this!! Down to the music! I would spend hours watching this channel! Thank you!
These Prevue Guide video captures are documented evidence of channel drift. Also, was that Howie Mandel with hair in the Previe Guide promo?
Brings bacc memories at grandma house in the summertime we had fun watchin this listening to tha music
Loved this channel. I used to turn it on looking for something to watch with the flavor of the night. 👍
how much did satellite tv cost in the 90s?
Bill Cosby: "Televisions favorite dad". Not anymore.
The whole stars/moon/graphic made it seem like something epic was about to happen and then...Prevue Guide.
Thanks for the rare find! It's interesting to see some of the cable ads on there.
Man, the Disney Channel just aired whatever the hell. Fraggle Rock, BIG, Cosby stand up, Muppets. And a brand new animated series, TaleSpin!
Now they air hot girl teen sitcoms!
Night Court or Miami Vice....tough choice!
4 yrears 2 days old back then...
I missed all of this! Born in '03.

same here heh
I wish this is what my TV looked like when I turn it on now
The music brings me back ☺️

Either way, this is probably the highest quality version I've heard of it.
kargaroc386 No revisions made. Recorded off air 26 years ago/sat in a box/found and transferred directly to digital as is.
It's the first version from 1988, later versions sounded slightly different.
Do you have hours of Prevue Guide from 1988-1993?
I'm afraid I don't. Sorry. I'm lucky to have this!
I serious miss simplicity the most....
I miss this old cable guide
Bill Cosby on the Disney Channel. That wouldn't happen now lol
😢😢😢

My birthday is May 22nd 1985 so on this video I was age 5 and 1 day old.
Childhood Memories
"Then it's television's most popular dad ... in a one man show -- 'Hi, mom!' -- Bill Cosby Himself."
Oh brother
AWKWARD
This aired a month before my birth.
This is super old now...
What's that song playing at 2:30?
10:38 - NBA Playoffs: Phoenix vs. Portland.
Porkland would win that, later going to the finals and losing to my then-favorite and hometown Detroit Pistons.
"Loverboy"--back when the idea of Patrick Dempsey playing a gigolo was comical. If he remade the film today, ladies would be arm-wrestling for front row seats
Hopefully, it would have a bigger hit movie compared to when it was originally released.
Love puppet master
Its impossible to get a hold of these. Wish they were more common.
Oh man this would be perfect for a vaporwave song

0:30 the background music was used in a station Id for a Russian TV network TV6. It was partially owned by Ted Turner.
11:48. I was a kid when that series just premiered.

Cosby on Disney? Wow... I wonder if any of that particular show was censored
Why would it be?
@@gradybea How Cosby's been acting now?
It was a feature film, which got a PG rating.

This is up there with 80s and early 90s Weather Channel as far as aesthetic goes. 🌴😎🌴
Ok, so what if Manhattan (and they never said they were right, I'd have to google it) is the smallest county in the us? WHat's the advertisement?
They're still using the music from the late 80s, I remember before this they would just use the local oldies station for the music.
Hello, Kansas City!

Seems to be a mix of KC and Topeka channels

Would rather listen and watch this from 30 years ago than to listen or watch any of that woke crap on cable these days.
Wow blazers vs Suns conference finals
