During Daly's run, the series was presented in the style of a newsmagazine, with show correspondents reporting further surrounding information and profiles beyond the video clips.

Featured correspondents included Sibila Vargas, Michael Brownlee, John Johnston, Lisa G., and Ellen K. William B. Davis, best known as Cigarette Smoking Man from the sci-fi TV series The X-Files, also made occasional appearances.

The show was cancelled in 2001 and while most markets aired reruns until September 6, 2002,[1] some replaced it with the weekly series Maximum Exposure (which was produced under the RTV News banner).

Each episode of Daly's iteration included the "Real TV Quiz," which typically presented video clips of celebrities prior to their rise to fame, inviting viewers to identify them during the commercial break.

For instance, Loni Anderson appeared in a 1970s TV commercial before she transitioned to being a blonde, prompting viewers to guess the identity of the talent in the quick clip.

For the first several weeks of the show's run, the copyright notice at the end of the credits listed RTV News Inc instead of Paramount Pictures Corporation.

During the third season of the show, episodes that included a complete credit roll featured the title card on a significantly larger monitor in the studio prior to the clip montage.
