Nope... it was definitely Showtime and they were called "Showtime Shorts". I remember that summer very well (summer of '80). That same summer also had a show premiere called BIZARRE on Showtime. It was a sketch comedy show hosted by John Byner. Very funny at the time. I'm sure I was too young to be watching it, but I saw it many late nights that summer. :-)

I think you're thinking of HBO Short Takes from the 70's-80's, they showed tons of great shorts in between movies. Such as "Closet Cases of the Nerd Kind" I have a VHS tape that has the original version of Hardware Wars, Plus Closet Cases, and a few others like Porklips Now, and Bambi Meets Godzilla. This tape needs to be converted to DVD if anyone wants to take a stab at it.

I have the DVD plus the SE VHS. I've been meaning to transfer it to DVD, just haven't gotten around to it. Maybe I can get it done this week. I remember watching this when it originally aired on Showtime in the 70's! Showtime used to air small films called "Showtime Shorts" in between movies. They showed this thing a million times that summer!
