I-Is that a physical TV guide?

Yes, it is. I have to buy it for my mother, she struggles with the TV one.

Did anyone outside of the US know what Groundhog Day even was before that movie existed?

As it should be.

I'm surprised people still watch cable or any kind of tv. For me is all streaming via the internet.

They should have made a sequel and just played the first movie

Reminds me of the fact that the volume on the BBC iPlayer goes to 11 after they showed Spinal Tap a few years ago.

Punxsutawney is in the US, so that doesn’t have much to do with the above comment lmao.

I don't think so. It would certainly have been obscure pub quiz knowledge if they did. It's a good celebration though. Glad that it promoted it. Now I try to watch the film on groundhog day and check the forecast from the groundhog. He's basically as accurate at predicting the end of winter in the UK as he is in the USA.
McNozzo t1_j664gd6 wrote
No definitely not. Was it generally known in the US before the movie?

I signed up for Zoom (maybe Voom) satellite service years ago because they were one of the firsts with HD TV. They did not last long but they played Groundhog Day back to back on every single channel for 24 hours.

Wiarton Will exists in Canada and has done so for as long as I can remember, so yes, people outside the US do know about groundhog day.

Hmmmm, seems like a repeat..... of the show before

In the US, the channel AMC is doing the same thing. Running the movie “Groundhog Day” over and over starting at 11:00 AM ET.

I live that life every day too. Like I am living the same day over-and-over again.

Yes. It's one of those "holidays" that we all know about in the US, but never think about until someone mentions it and we remember it exists.

I assume it was, but I was raised in Pennsylvania, so that may cloud my judgment on that.

I still had satellite tv up to about 10 years ago, switched first to torrents then gradually over to streaming. (I still torrent some movies and sport events)
Over here, many people still have satellite, and it's a bit of a puzzle since the cost is quite high. Only (sort of) excuse they have is that it has a whole lot of live sport coverage, I just download the few events I want to watch a day or two after, works for me. Outside of the sport the shows are pretty pathetic, compared with streaming options.

Oh, constantly ordering prescriptions! Thankfully she gets them delivered, otherwise I'd never be away from the chemist!
