LOL. That only means that both of you are likely wrong.  :D
What do you know? :P j/k I believe I saw a tail end of another commercial at the end of that Weekend View promo (which I notice almost always happens on cable company aired commercials), so I still believe it was aired by my cable company. :yes:

IF it was aired by your cable company, it was in error. I know cable co.operations inside and out. They do not run advertisments for channels they carrry. Think about that last sentence. Doesn't it make sense that they wouldn't do that?
I've seen it before. I once saw a local advertisement for a show on The History Channel on TWC.
That's much different, and also notdone by the cable company. In fact, its quite common to see promos for channels aired on channels other than the channel being promoted.
I know for a fact that that History Channel ad I saw on TWC was inserted by the cable company because it listed the channel number for the History Channel on the ad.

Its very rare to see anything like that.

I really hate these new holiday LF openers that TWC has been using in recent months. They are more basic than the older ones and are just overall crappy. The LF opener themes that TWC used from 2003-2006 were a lot better, IMO.

/I completely agree.  I hate them. 

I do, however, like the ending of the 4th of July one.  Other than that...still people?? Come on..make them move :P

Meh, the 4th of July LF opener is alright, I guess. Not the best, though. The girl in the beginning holding the sparkler looks like she doesn't care about being careful with it or not. :wacko:

I was just watching TWC for a few moments because we were under a Tornado Watch and I have to say, I like the holiday openers. They remind me of the older days of TWC when things WERE more basic.

Here's a link to an article I found about TWC that was just published yesterday:

Warren Madden is on Weather Center today, doing his first weekend fill-in shift since he left TWC full-time. I'm taping it, because you won't see Warren on TWC very often, let alone paired with Dave. :)
