Had no idea cable TV shows rock
Posted on June 12, 2009 - Filed Under TV Shows |
Iligan City is a small place but I think it already had telephones and a cable TV company in the 1980s. I could still remember tagging along my mother to one of her friends’ house in the “city” to receive a call from my father who was in Saudi Arabia. Our house is about 30-45 minutes jeepney ride away from Iligan City but telephone lines didn’t reach us until late 1990’s, and so did a cable company. Unfortunately, we found the cable fees very expensive so our parents did not get a subscription. So, we grew up watching only the local TV shows and a few foreign TV shows.
When I went to college, it was the first time I heard about HBO, MTV, AXN, etc. Until now, I’m still not that familiar with cable TV shows because we often just tune in to TFC. So, when I saw this video, I didn’t have any idea who Howie Mandel was! If I were in the U.S., I’d easily fall prey to the show’s pranks. Anyway, just imagine being asked by Howie on items on sale at Buy.com. But it would have been better if he was wearing one of his disguises.
