1. A method for providing media guidance of video-on-demand media assets, comprising: receiving a first user command to invoke a media guidance application;based on receiving the first user command, generating for display a media guidance display that comprises a video-on-demand media asset identifier;generating for display an indicator that a video clip preview is available for a video-on-demand media asset that is associated with the video-on-demand media asset identifier, wherein the indicator is generated for display with the video-on-demand media asset identifier;receiving a second user command to view the video clip preview for the video-on-demand media asset;based on receiving the second user command, requesting the video clip preview from a server;receiving the video clip preview from the server;generating for display the received video clip preview from the server, without displaying during an entire duration of the video clip preview an offer to order the video-on-demand media asset; andgenerating for display an ordering option after an entirety of the video clip preview of the video-on-demand media asset is displayed. 2. The method of claim 1, comprising: generating for display, the ordering option after the video clip preview of the video-on-demand media asset is displayed, without requiring any additional user command. 3. The method of claim 1, wherein the media guidance display further comprising a category of media assets, further comprising: receiving a third user command to navigate to a different category of media assets;based on receiving the third user command, retrieving a media asset identifier that is associated with the different category of media assets; andupdating the media guidance display to replace the category of media assets with the different category of media assets, and to replace the video-on-demand media asset identifier with the retrieved media asset identifier that is associated with the different category of media assets. 4. The method of claim 1, further comprising: receiving a third user command to access additional media asset identifier information associated with the video-on-demand media asset identifier; andbased on receiving the third user command, generating for display the additional media asset identifier information associated with displayed the video-on-demand media asset identifier. 5. The method of claim 1, further comprising: generating for display a scheduled media asset; andwherein the media guidance display is generated for display in an overlay. 6. The method of claim 1, wherein the video-on-demand media asset identifier and the indicator are generated for display within a listing display element. 7. The method of claim 1, further comprising, receiving, from a user input device, a start-time for the video-on-demand media asset while the ordering option is displayed; andgenerating for display the video-on-demand media asset at the received start-time. 8. The method of claim 1, further comprising: generating for display the received video clip preview in a video window. 9. The method of claim 8, further comprising: generating for display the received video clip preview in the video window over a display of a media asset. 10. The method of claim 1, further comprising: generating for display the received video clip preview in a full screen display. 11. A system for providing media guidance of video-on-demand media assets, comprising: a user input device configured to receive commands from a first user; andcontrol circuitry configured to: receive, from the user input device, a first user command to invoke a media guidance application;generate for display, based on receiving the first user command, a media guidance display that comprises a video-on-demand media asset identifier;generate for display an indicator that a video clip preview is available for a video-on-demand media asset that is associated with the video-on-demand media asset identifier, wherein the indicator is generated for display with the video-on-demand media asset identifier;receive from the user input device, a second user command to view the video clip preview for the video-on-demand media asset;request, based on receiving the second user command, the video clip preview from a server;receive the video clip preview from the server;generate for display the received video clip preview from the server, without displaying during an entire duration of the video clip preview an offer to order the video-on-demand media asset; andgenerate for display an ordering option after an entirety of the video clip preview of the video-on-demand media asset is displayed. 12. The system of claim 11, wherein the control circuitry is further configured to: generate for display, the ordering option after the video clip preview of the video-on-demand media asset is displayed, without requiring any additional user command. 13. The system of claim 11, wherein the media guidance display further comprising a category of media assets, and wherein the control circuitry is further configured to: receive a third user command to navigate to a different category of media assets;retrieve, based on receiving the third user command, a media asset identifier that is associated with the different category of media assets; andupdate the media guidance display to replace the category of media assets with the different category of media assets, and to replace the video-on-demand media asset identifier with the retrieved media asset identifier that is associated with the different category of media assets. 14. The system of claim 11, wherein the control circuitry is further configured to: receive a third user command to access additional media asset identifier information associated with the video-on-demand media asset identifier; andgenerate for display, based on receiving the third user command, the additional media asset identifier information associated with displayed the video-on-demand media asset identifier. 15. The system of claim 11, wherein the control circuitry is further configured to: generate for display a scheduled media asset; andwherein the media guidance display is generated for display in an overlay. 16. The system of claim 11, wherein the video-on-demand media asset identifier and the indicator are generated for display within a listing display element. 17. The system of claim 11, wherein the control circuitry is further configured to: receive, from the user input device, a start-time for the video-on-demand media asset while the ordering option is displayed; andgenerate for display the video-on-demand media asset at the received start-time. 18. The system of claim 11, wherein the control circuitry is further configured to: generate for display the received video clip preview in a video window. 19. The system of claim 11, wherein the control circuitry is further configured to: generate for display the received video clip preview in the video window over a display of a media asset. 20. The system of claim 11, wherein the control circuitry is further configured to: generate for display the received video clip preview in a full screen display.
