Question: Did JT Walsh manage to film all of his planned scenes before he died?

Answer: Yes. Even though the film was released after his death in 1998, filming (also known as principal photography) was completed by July 1997, nearly 8 months before his death.

Pleasantville (1998)

Question: What is the purpose of the initial TV montage?

Answer: To me it never looked like a montage. It was just someone flipping through the channels (channel surfing) until they got to "TV Time" where they stayed to watch the commercial for the PleasanTVille marathon. People (especially before DVRs) sometimes just flip through the channels looking for something to watch, especially if you don't know what's playing on each channel.
