On Cable TV

The cable system down in Naples, Florida (Media One) has this really
neat function if you're using a cable box: Whenever you turn on the TV
(or change the channel) a small window appears at the bottom of the TV
screen, telling you what show is on, air times, and how many minutes into it
they are.

Special reports would preempt the regular schedule. Thus, the
information window would not match what was shown on the screen.
Some weeks ago, NBC did a special report called "The President and
the People." I was channel surfing, stopped at NBC for a moment,
and nearly fell out of my chair laughing at the sight I saw.

Picture it: On the TV, Bill Clinton's face saying something. Beneath
his picture, a popup window with the caption, "The Pretender."
