I love the hopeful optimism of the late 80s/early 90s versions. When the future was still bright and technology was going to bring us together.

I recall the one from 1988. TBE for entertainment. We lived the movies you kids see these days (Breakfast Club, Sixteen Candles, Pretty in Pink, etc..). Great times, miss them dearly. 👍💪🏼🙏🏼

The nostalgia is flowing through me right now. When there wasn’t nothing on to watch I used to just turn on this all day and night. It was a sad day when the tv guide channel were taking off cable

I feel like Prevue Channel would be the perfect thing to asleep to. Feels therapeutic. Sucks they became TV Guide channel. Prevue had a killer aesthetic. I livve in Canada so we continued to get Prevue into the new millenium, but it was PC Prevue so it was really stripped down.

I've fallen asleep to this particular video more than once. I find it quite soothing since it brings back memories of my childhood in the 90s (I often had the Prevue channel on as background noise until something I wanted to watch came on).

Well, Prevue had to get with the times and kick the Commodore Amiga to the curb. Plus, TV Guide had its own channel in those days along with its monthly issues of whats coming on TV. But the thing was Prevue Guide was meant for those that had Satellite. AND YES, I DO MEAN those 8 ft. tall and 6 ft. wide made of Steel Satellite Dishes. TV Guide with its channel was meant for those that had Cable. But Prevue couldn't compete with TV Guide with what it had to offer, even Sneak Prevue that was carrying on Prevue's legacy, they didn't last long either. So what does Prevue do, sells itself to TV Guide, TV Guide buys them out, Prevue Channel becomes TV Guide Channel. And look what it is today. The only thing that's giving Prevue/TV Guide/TVGN/Pop that redeeming feature especially for those that are still nostalgic by the name and channel is the scrolling EPG which has been doing that since Prevue Guide's Inception in 1981.

Prevue was a sentimental title. There were fine female actresses that time!

@h2ofan80 Ай бұрын

Well, I think the reason they changed the name is because they were bought out by the actual TV Guide company. Their logo was used in the channel, after all. But yeah, the Prevue Guide was better.

I'm gonna pull a fast one here...Bear with me.Being congenitally blind, music has a vibration and math all its own.The very first ident in this video is my internal signpost indicating I cleared one of life's stages, as if Sonic the Hedgehog wasn't enough of a reference already, lol.I dream about this song at night.Who knows, maybe I could sequence this as a MIDI piece?Granted Prevue Guide no longer exists...Ouch!Lots of curious music here, but the short idents (in particular that very first one) puts a tear in my eye, letting me know there's hope just around the corner if I explore further.

The footage itself is from 1991, but the idents and Prevue Tonight intro all debuted in 1988, hence why it was grouped together as such. The idents at 1:09 and 1:22, on the other hand, do have an inaccuracy; namely, they debuted around April 1992. The "Saddest Prevue Guide That Ever Lived" video has footage recorded on March 13, 1992, and that guide, as notorious as it was for the so-called "cercopithecoids" and their total lack of ability to operate a scrolling EPG correctly, still had the 1988 idents.
