BE ON THE LOOKOUT: THE CABLE GUIDE
IS COMING, AND IT'S A KEEPER
by
Laertes Davidowitz
TV Guide's The Cable Guide allows me to take control. Since
my viewing time is limited (often as few as six hours a night) I
must really make the most of my TV. The Cable Guide allows
me to do just that. I can say "Hey! That really great episode
of Golden Girls is on at 5:30pm on the Lifetime Network" and
then I can flip over to "a very special two hour episode of
Touched by an Angel" at 6:00pm and then move on at 8:00pm.
Obviously this publication is so rich with entertaining stories
and up-to-the-minute informative graphs, you don't even need to
be a cable subscriber to thoroughly enjoy it. What's more they even
deliver it right to my front door every month.
This month's issue of The Cable Guide is the
hottest so far this year. It is an exciting preview of the 2000
Summer Olympics which will be held down in Sydney, Australia, but
it also carries the usual quality in-depth analysis of the can't-miss
programming that we have come to expect. If you are like me (and
I'm pretty sure you are), you’ be pleased to know that Gold Medal
contender Marion Jones is featured on the cover. As if that weren't
enough, this issue also has the "Cable for Kids: Twelfth Annual
Fall Family TV Preview." This issue ranks right up there with
February ’97, a beloved classic.
The quips underneath each photo let me know all
the main information in order to make quality viewing choices for
my evening. Beneath a picture of a wacky primate and a lovable pig
reads the caption: "…a fine swine monkeys around in Babe: Pig
in the City." I know it will be great. Below Sly's menacing
mug it says "In Cobra, venomous Sylvester Stallone rattles
criminals." Viewers beware.
As you can see, my life has really been simplified
with one of the greatest viewing tools ever, The Cable Guide
from the publishers of TV Guide. Thank you Cable Guide!
