They seriously need to bring back cable tv with HBO not this $5 + bullshit and new content..fuck it. Bring back old cable with like HBO and they way they would keep you like glued to your TV cause it's so 80s and early 90s and their like telling you the movies rated r and their like telling you what's on next with some guy talking and the 80s back round music..so much better back then. Bring it back. So sweet. Next on HBO. So sweet. I wanna live in my mom and dad's old room and watch an old 89-90 tv and watch HBO and play my Sega Genesis

[@MrMitchelljung]

[@dootuss83]

Yeah this was probably late July 1988. Right before they replaced the 1986-1988 Next on graphics with the 1988-1991 Next on graphics. Because I remember Spaceballs premiering on HBO that summer.

[@matthewschwartz6607]

July of 1988.
