Trivia[]

  • This is one of the many "Weird Al" songs where the theme is Television.
  • This song is about Cable.
  • At one point it says "I got a satellite dish on the trunk of my car" which is ironic seeing as the song is called "Cable TV."
  • In the last verse of the song it says "'Cause I've seen 'Porky's' 27 times this week." This is the first mention of the number in the lyrics of a "Weird Al" song.
