Starting November 27 and airing through December 1, you'll be able to catch reruns of VH1's Pop Up Video on VH1 Classic, one of the last remaining "music" networks that actually show videos on a semi-regular basis. If you're a pop culture and trivia nut like me, you probably loved Pop Up Video, a series that would showcase videos both new and old, complete with facts about the song, artist or video itself that would pop onto the screen throughout the video. The series was a font of useless knowledge and loads of fun until it ventured away from videos and began to give the same pop-up treatment to commercials and other non-musical things. I can't speak for everyone, but I'm not all that interested in knowing the inner workings of an OxyClean commercial.
The Pop Up Video repeats will air every night at 8:00 and 8:30 pm. If you've been meaning to bone up on your knowledge of Journey and Tina Turner, this is your chance.

We have a station on our comcast digital called the tube that is great. It is all videos and i think there has been only one commercial in the entire time i have watched. They also have a great variety, does anyone else get it?

Aww, I just realized that I really miss Pop-Up Video. I completely stopped watching VH1, so it hadn't even occured to me that it wouldn't be on anymore; I mainly just miss them playing music I could tolerate in general.
