    This one was always my favorite. :)

        Ah yes... One of the many edit's of "HBO in Space".

        The original cut of this showed a guy switching to HBO on his cable box, in his po-mo, late 70's apartment. The camera pans out the window, then the sweep of the cityscpe begins.

        I remember HBO used to run a special on how they made this intro. It got me really curious into special fx.

        HBO should still be using this bumper, IMO.

                      Personally, I liked the April Fool's Joke versions of it. I especially like the one where it has someone humming the music.

                          This intro brings back so many memories. Especially of my grandmother's house. How I miss grandma's house.

                            I LOVED this little intro. I remember going out to my aunt's apartment and my cousin (4 years older than I) and me would watch HBO. I took to calling it "HPO" which would..."PO" my cousin. :)

                            3 year old me: HPO! HPO! giggle giggle giggle
                            Cousin: NO!!! It's HBO!!! HBO- Stop calling it HPO!!
                            Me: ...I like HPO....
