I was just going to comment on how money bags in 1993 was able to afford cable TV like that .... I was more than happy in 1993 to eat cereal and read what as on the box because the TV we had access to either had Days of our Lives, the Greatest Story Ever Told, an educational program on algebra, local news or a grainy, static filled channel that might have been illegally broadcast porn.

It wasn’t only on cable TV was it? I swear I remember watching it on local broadcast before my parents had cable.
