yeah my dad was a maintenance man at an apartment until I was 11 and he only paid cable and phone so we had HBO when it first started and Showtime so I watched a lot of Fraggle Rock on HBO lol

[@jherod2024]

Wow, talk about deja vu. Child of the '80s.

[@mrquiet2009]

I love An A.erican Werewolf in London and The Groove Tube..

[@Justina862]

Back when there was no starz and no encore just one hbo one showtime and one max channle,aw the good ole days

[@ChristopherSobieniak]

I was 5, though my folks didn't get HBO back then.

[@ChristopherSobieniak]

Heh, because I lived close to Canada, I could've watched Fraggle Rock for free since it was being aired simultaneously on the CBC too. That never came to my mind back then though, but it's funny thinking back about it.

[@JML101582]

I know what you mean I feel the same way about the old MTV, Nickelodeon, USA, and WTBS promos :-)

[@SusieSynth]

[@EricHultgren]

I remember when HBO had the blue rolling program guide before they used to go on the air back in the 70's before they went 24hrs. They played really cool music when they ran that in the background. I wish I knew what the name of some of the songs were...

[@SandTguy]

This is when tv was worth the money You payed for it.

[@buzzydj]

Back when you basically got HBO for free if you had a C-Band Satellite dish.

[@joemhoward]

I may have only been 3 years old when this promo came out but I do remember these old promos

[@Pacnpal8]

Would you happen to have a recording of HBO's What on Earth? which aired around 1981-82? I'm not interested in fully episodes, just the animated intro and the part where Orson Bean introduces himself. Maybe you can post that to KZbin or I can give my email address to send it? Please let me know.

[@77hachy]

[@RECOVERY1969]

Horrid. These are 4:3 and unnaturally stretched to 16x9, not formatted, stretched, which is as terrible as pan and scan. It's retro, let them be as they were.

[@ninarosado1982]

I built HBO from promotion and didn't even know I'm bigger than Ted turner I literally built tv networks in my sleep just off promotion then yous let my mom scarifice me omfg
