Video Professor Infomercials

You may have seen the Video Professor infomercials over the years. I know I have. I remember being in college and not having cable. The only broadcast channel I could get was Fox. So, when there was something good on a watched that. If there was something bad on, I watched that. When there were only infomercials, I watched those.

Now, this was the mid-early nineties. The infomercial industry was just taking off. Video Professor’s main guy, John W Scherer, and Video Professor infomercials seemed to be on a lot. He would be taking about some software product and he would add his favorite line “Try my product.”

The strange thing is that at the time I didn’t really care. I wasn’t very computer literate back then. Not a lot of people were. Keep in mind that this was the early nineties, and no one was talking about even the Internet yet. You used your computer for word processing and the sort. Compare that with the amount of time that we spend now in front of our screens. I, personally, sit in front of my monitor while at work and at home as well.

The Video Professor Infomercials are still out there. I just saw one the other day.
