The commercial was a lot like those infamous "Rock Of The Eighties"-type CD collections commercials, but it was most definitely for TUVC. It showed clips of several of his videos with their names, and said "Call this toll-free number now!!" It was fairly long -- 1 1/2 to 2 minutes long!!
By the time I found a blank tape though, it was all over. No matter, I thought, they repeat the entire Adult Swim weeknight block exactly 3 hours later! So I set my VCR for 2:30 AM to 2:50 AM (EST) so as not to miss it. I even remembered the Adult Swim promo that preceded the commercial so I'd know I'd catch it on the tape.
The next morning, I reviewed the tape. I found the section of "Family Guy" I'd remembered seeing before, then the same Adult Swim promo! And then -- uh -- what?!? A commercial for a fondue pot?? I don't remember this. Maybe it was a short commercial beofre Al's that I didn't remember. But it kept going ... and going ... AND GOING ... then finally it ended. AND "FAMILY GUY" CAME BACK ON!! They'd switched commercials!! >:S
Now, the Adult Swim block doesn't come on Friday nights or Saturday nights on Cartoon Network, so it's not been on again. But I'll watch tonight, and the next few nights, so see if it comes on again!!
Glad someone started this topic -- I almost thought I'd hallucinated the whole thing!!
