When I first got HBO in 1976, it wasn't even called that yet - it was still called "Home Box Office".

[@OPTIONALWATCH]

true. later on this is what happened to Kentucky Fried Chicken. One time I said Kentucky Fried Chicken in context to my 6th graders and they had no idea what that place was.

[@hebneh]

@@OPTIONALWATCH I remember reading that the switch to the plain KFC was motivated in part to avoid the stigma of the word "fried" as implying unhealthy fat was used in preparation. Of course it also probably helped the company as it became international to have a catchy, short, easy name in non-English speaking countries, in addition.

I remember this from a loooooooooooooooooong time ago growing up in the St. Louis area! I was a little boy... But this brings back so many memories!

[@lynnvryett]

Saturday, deadly pesticides take their toll for an army of mutant arachnids spins a deadly web of horror! Sunday, when a ruthless ex-Nazi is forced out into the open, terror and suspense begin!! I don't really care about what's happening Friday, but I am THERE for Saturday and Sunday 1978!!

Kingdom of the Spiders and Marathon Man

[@gustavopacheco919]

Kingdome of the Spiders was the movie with the tarantulas, William Shatner is great in that classic flick.

[@OPTIONALWATCH]

Thanks for that. I was trying to find out the title.

[@gustavopacheco919]

@@OPTIONALWATCH anytime. Hope you find the movie.

That Showtime Bumpers is used of this song from KPM Music, it's called: "Rise and Shine" by John Fiddy.

[@JHollowayNetwork]

it's actually 1978, beacuse some movies were made in 1977, and was uploaded on KZbin a year later but got removed.
