Here's a couple from my childhood.

 

Video Jukebox.  When my parents got us HBO around 1982 or so, that's all the cable we had at the time.  We didn't get the multi-channel package that included MTV until a couple years later.  So HBO's Video Jukebox was my first intro to music videos.

Also, HBO got me hooked on comedy as a kid.  The "On Location" series with Robin Williams, George Carlin, Buddy Hackett, Sam Kinison, and others.  And the Young Comedians Special, introducing us to people like Bob Saget, Bill Hicks, Andrew Dice Clay, and Louie Anderson.

Going to someone’s house with HBO or Cable even was always looked forward to as a kid. (I did go to grannies in town a lot for cable access) We lived in the country and had an antenna until I was 15 when my dad finally got direct TV. We weren't poor, my dad just saw no point in getting one of those huge dishes. Then I finally talked him into Direct TV.
