I've talked to the author of this thread on Twitter, they're not the same person that claimed the thread was fake. And because of that, I have no reason to believe all the other existence unconfirmed threads they list were made by them either.
It seems like that user tried to create some fake piece of lost media, got called out, and are now trying to save face by claiming they tricked us in previous threads. I also wouldn't doubt that they watch my content and specifically picked out those topics on purpose.
Oh, and reply to my DM please.

If you think they're targeting your vids specifically, then that would explain the two weird accounts on this thread. I definitely find them suspicious.
cant speak for the others but yeah i made this account after watching lssq's video as it brought back memories of this. i was more sure it existed before i started looking for it though. not sure how much more specific about it i can get since its a very generic screamer. but yeah i dont think i can prove im not trolling and i know i look like one

You're not crazy, it was a real thing! I doubt it will be found as it was on TV Land who was playing an old show (not likely someone wanted to record an old show from the 50's or 60's unless there had been no home media release yet) and at the time it could have been at the point where you couldn't find blank VHS tapes in stores (at least not in the Western New York area). I wake up one morning which had to have been in the range of December of 2005-July (or maybe June or August) of 2009 due to where my family and I were living at the time, to my mom telling me that she and my sister were watching The Beverly Hillbillies (I do believe) on TV Land last night and it was hacked with a scary jump scare of normal ads then what seemed to be the beginning of an ad (the beginning of the jump scare which must have been the serene landscape you were talking about) which was cut to show a scary face that was screaming loudly then back to normal ads. It scared the poop out of them and I asked them about it after hearing about this lost media in two different YT videos and counting then Googled "tv land hack lost media wiki" to find this post and comment on it to validate it. They don't remember besides what I mentioned. Sometimes hacks (which I'm sure this was) only affect certain areas that have the affected channel as well as only (a) certain TV provider(s) so for reference we were living in Lockport, NY U.S.A. (which is in Niagara County) at the time and had DirecTV at the time. When we lived there, for a year or two my bedtime was 8 P.M. (Eastern Time) then for the rest of our stay was 9 P.M. (Eastern Time) so this happened sometime in the time frame mentioned after 8 P.M.-9 P.M. (Eastern Time).

Fair enough. Sorry to accuse you.
Same with me. Not trying to troll just made an account to comment on this as I remember my mom telling me she and my older sis saw it back when I was in elementary or middle school. Like I said in my post, I woke up one morning back then as a pre-teen to my mom telling me she and my sister got the poop scared out of them from a jump scare while watching TV Land. They and I think it was hacked. IDK what exact date and time. December 2005-July (or maybe June or August) 2009 is the time frame my family and I lived in the rented house we were living in at the time so sometime in the time frame it happened. They don't remember anything (long time ago) other than what I mentioned in my post/reply explaining I know two witnesses. And based on what my bedtimes were growing up it happened sometime after 8 P.M. (Eastern Time) if it happened within the first year or two of us living in that small but livable 60's ranch house we rented or after 9 P.M. (Eastern Time) if it happened later on in our stay there.
I think what's unfortunate about this topic is that it's likely going to come down to finding a recording of that particular night or a jump scare from elsewhere that matches it exactly.
This is the opposite compared to something like the Oswald Ozzy Osbourne crossover. We originally didn't know when it aired, where it aired, or what kind of content was in it. But as more claims came forward, it gave us a better understanding of the topic.
In this case though, ckm2017 told us mostly everything we could need to know- what it looked like, where it aired and when it aired. The only thing that could help more is an exact date or a post from somewhere else online that was made before this one, to prove that it was remembered before now.
Found this thread from 2004, the only two that I think are significant is the military channel one because they mention classical music (note, they're not actually talking about the channel tvland), and the Grudge trailer.
Maybe it was a horror movie trailer? Like a sneak peek? Just a thought.
Somebody does link a Chiller commercial and it's somewhat similar to op's description but with bears. Idk. I'll keep looking.
Edit part 2: So this reddit post describes the Chiller commercials as "something relaxing/harmless and then suddenly its a screamer" which really goes with what OP was describing.
I'm wondering if Chiller was being advertised on other channels maybe? I know it was a channel that didn't come with basic cable, and I'm not sure what your setup was. The channel itself started in 2007, and was owned by NBC whereas TV Land is owned by paramount. But I do think what is described as their marketing campaign really matches with what OP experienced.

Yeah, that military one is clearly something specifically aimed at military personnel on a military channel. I don't think it's relevant (though I'd love to see it - might be on one of those YT channels which uploads stuff from AFN etc)
This definitely sounds more like a bump or a promo than a product commercial, especially if it only appeared for a short amount of time. Maybe TV Land ran a horror event or something?

I definitely think it's horror or Halloween related. I looked up "TV Land Halloween" and a Rosanne marathon from I don't know when popped up. I'll keep looking for threads possibly describing the same thing like LSSQ suggested.
oh wow Chiller thats a thing id totally forgotten about. i did have the channel in the 2010s at some point but im not sure when exactly. the 'making sure youre still awake' bumpers mentioned in that reddit post do sound like they could be what i saw. havent been able to find them or any commercial blocks on youtube though
