The Cable Guy coming this Television to this fall……. that would be a nice announcement wouldn’t it. Well, that is the goal. You my job turned out to be like a Fall Guy episode with Colt Seavers. The thing is it was all for real. Have a look see for yourself. Just keep reading. The possible theme and opening credits, Men at Work’s “Who Can it be Now”-Men At Work — Who Can It Be Now? (Video Version) (youtube.com) ….. see a closing theme below.

Proposed Pilot for an action-adventure comedy TV series- The Real Cable Guy. Based on my experiences as a cable “guy” during the early years of MTV and marketing- cold call door to door sales…..in fact why don’t you come with me now on one of my earlier adventure's as I was just getting my feet wet. MTV commercial-MTV Promo Videos 1984 (youtube.com)

How I relate to this song on a more emotional and connected level-I mean I love music and my brain is kinda like Brain Ben Ben’s character in Dream On (HBO). But this is really what happened on such a beautiful sunny day right before I was about to grab some lunch….
