  Its a damn shame they only made that one. single. episode. that you watched today, right? Right?

  It did and it was magical!

  I remember thinking about how amazing the animators were that made the HBO logo spinning into frame toward the end. Turns out, they actually build a big chrome logo and shot it with practical photography.

  I would also add that if you had a neighbor or relative that had HBO, you’d be able to record on VHS a set of movies playing at that time. For many of us this may have been only a few months/years of movies. That set of movies would grow on you because thats all you had to watch on demand. Genre, theme, high budget, low budget, it didn’t matter. Someone close to you popped in a 6 hour tape one day and pressed “record” before they went to work. You got the one movie you were hoping for and whatever came afterward.
