At the risk of showing our age,who else remembers sitting up late at night,parents in bed,watching this channel.Sometimes the channels would line up good and you could see some action.Me and my friends would sit up and watch it,wondering if that was a boob or not.
I can't be the only one that remembers this... |

There was once a magical 2 week period where the part when it would unscramble for 5 minutes between movie to show previews for stuff you could order was unbalanced and show the last 2 minutes instead.

Most definitely. The old time cable box with the dial on it were the best at getting scrambled stuff. Of course later on I was able to get a filter from my cousin who's dad works for the cable company.

This reminds me of the episode of Friends where they got free porn and didn't turn off the tv for fear of losing it.

I remember when you first had to start paying for cable.My dad called "that guy" to come give us free cable.Then the cable companies started doing checks to see who had what.My dad had to get the guy to come back out,take the part out so when the cable guy came,no harm no fou.He would then have "that guy" come put it back in.
