Name of an OLD HBO show

ybik gnome · 04-29-2006, 09:31 AM

There use to be a "outer limits" style show that came on HBO, i only ever saw it twice. It had George clinton)(the funk singer) head as the talking host. The episode I can remember, was where aliens came to the earth and wanted to take away everyone whos skin was darker then a brown paper bag. I think there were multiple episodes but i cant remember the others. Any idea's?

Cosmic Slop. Should be a pain in the ass to find unless you want it on VHS, but at least it's not as bad as finding the old HBO show that I would kill for: Hardcore TV. That was some of the funniest shit I've ever seen, but it's like it never existed now if you try to find it.

I used to like Not Neccisarily the News (think that was it's name). Although that was back during the Reagan era.

That skit was awesome. I'd love to see This Old Whorehouse and any of the Fairytales from the Darkside ones again too.

Fuckin HBO needs to release it on DVD finally.

Dream On is on DVD recently, good show as well from the old HBO days.

Not Necessarily The News was good too!

Dream On was so awesome. Brian Benben for the win.
