This came up on YouTube for me this evening: an entire half-hour episode of Rush's TV show, from 1994.
Rather neat to see that even before the Internet was a routine thing in our homes, Rush was using online like CompuServe to go around the mainstream media.
I started listening to his radio show about the time his TV show started
I was fortunate enough to be in the audience for one of his shows. He was very accomodating signing autographs and talking to the audience after the show. God, I miss him.
I probably watched every episode even if they moved it to 1:30 in the morning (bastards!)
He played the President and Ann Coulter was his VP, LOL, funny stuff.
Will watch tomorrow, thanks
Me too. I was a first year community college student, working nights at a Subway. I came home late one evening from a shift and needed to unwind and happened to catch Rush's TV show at 12 midnight. I watched for the next few nights before going to look for his radio show. After that I practically scheduled my class work around Rush :-)

Still my noon go to on the radio. They’re doing a great job. The fill-in hosts mixed with the old Rush segments. Katheryne was great yesterday. The beauty of Rush still shines on.
LOL! Been re-watching them since he died.
What he said in the 90’s he said in the 20’s.
Brilliant man and a gift from God.
The Ted Kennedy ‘Spider’ bit was insane! I wish one of those kiddies had spoke up and and said: “Excuse me Sir, screw your homo spider, why did you murder Mary Joe?”
I loved his TV show.
Agreed! I am absolutely loving the trip down memory lane....and enjoying the segments with Katherine.
I can sympathize. Scheduled my work scheduled around Rush. I'm now realizing he had a tremendous and fabulous effect on our nation's thought process.
I think Trump was Rush's doing. He prepped us to know what was right.
Same here. Was never at the show but I watched them all. Miss him terribly

In a pre-”internet video” age, Rush’s program was “equal time” to the narrative being offered up by the DNC alphabet networks.
Things like President Clinton laughing at Ron Brown’s funeral and then seeing the camera on him immediately shifting from laughter to serious face and simulated crying. His neighbor in the scene didn’t get the memo and was still laughing.
Telling someone about it just didn’t have the same effect.
I actually bought a (used) full sized satellite dish, and set it up in my yard, solely to watch Rush’s show since none of the TV stations in my area carried it, and there was no cable there, either.
The funniest thing was the commercial time. The TV would just go blank during time for local commercials. I really felt funny just staring at a blank TV screen during these minutes which seemed endless.
