HBO Video Jukebox with bumpers and commercials | 1982
Фильм және анимация
Video Jukebox was an American television program which aired from 1981 to 1986 on HBO. It was a monthly series that showcased music videos from the popular recording artists of the time such as Duran Duran, Michael Jackson, Prince, Culture Club, Linda Ronstadt, David Bowie, Bow Wow Wow, Kim Wilde, Hall & Oates, Madonna, Blondie, Rush, and The Human League. A typical episode of Video Jukebox consisted of seven or eight music videos and lasted roughly 30 minutes, and the lineup changed in the middle of each month.
During the late 1970s (and before the MTV network debuted), HBO was already airing one or two music videos (or "promotional clips" as they were known at the time) as filler in between their feature films and other series. These short clips also carried the Video Jukebox moniker. When Video Jukebox premiered as a half-hour series in December 1981, HBO was reaching more households than MTV (which had been launched only four months earlier), so for about a year until MTV caught up to HBO's subscriber count, a video that aired on Video Jukebox may have received more exposure there than it would on MTV.

I'm in the future....sitting in the same living room I watched this 40 years ago, a fulltime caregiver for my mother after 2 brain tumors. Using a tablet like Star Trek Next Generation to watch cable TV that is being sent to it without a wire from a cable box in the basement - and I'm crying watching Joe Jackson in a tux 💗 Thank you for these windows

Love that. I am having hard flashbacks. Sorry for your pain.
For a lot of us, Video Jukebox was our MTV before many of our cable companies started carrying it.

Those HBO bumpers are a straight shot of nostalgia. Wow.
Thanks for the post! Looks like this actually aired January 8th, 1983 at 6:30 am, right after "Convoy" and before "They All Laughed."
Oh my. I’ve never seen that Go-Go’s video before. 😮

Man this bring back memories especially since my dad had the illegal HBO hookup in fact I don't know anyone who had the legitimate HBO hookup
You are killing it. This is one of the only channels I stop and check out whatever gets posted. Never stop because your content is legitimately appreciated. Thank you.
Yes, the cable company used to do a simulcast on a FM frequency if you did the hookup to the receiver, and you had HIFI STEREO. It was great!
I was 8. We just got HBO. It was a big deal. My mom loved Mickey. Played it over and over. Great memories.
Would love to see you post more of these HBO Video Jukebox clips, Mone!

Haha. Mr Plow, what an episode ! Agreed Joe Jackson !
I was watching these videos and having fun in my 20s. Now , I'm watching these videos and in my 60s and i'm wishing i was having fun. 😳
Thank you for posting this. Glad you included the full music videos without getting in trouble with YT
I was 10 years old in 1982. I remember watching Video Jukebox at my dads house before we got MTV. I forgot all about this. ❤😊
The time when HBO was mostly about the music in stereo.
I remember HBO jukebox they need to bring this back, so people can see unedited uncensored videos
Once that intro started up, I have to imagine there were a few memory brain cells in my head which were responsible for holding this memory which were VERY surprised to be called upon after all these years.
As crazy as it may sound, I swear I remember watching this very episode when I was only eight years old! I used to sit by the tv with a cassette recorder and wait for these to come on, so I could hold it up to the crappy tv speaker to record songs I liked that I knew would be on. As impractical as it seems, somehow there was something very cool and rewarding about it that later generations will never get to experience. I think having to resort to doing things like that made our generation much more creative and resilient. Hard to develop that in the same mannor, when everything is available instantly without having to pay to BUY a cd, etc. and/or devise a way to obtain a poor quality copy of something until you could afford to buy it. I wouldn't trade growing up like that for anything!
I forgot how talented Linda Ronstadt was.

Mr mone media is HBO turns 50? What channel that found?
I think one of the first videos I saw was Freeze Frame . My friends family had HBO and that was our MTV! Thanks for the memories!
Miss this time and I was just a small kid in 82
I love how the warbling of the VHS tape was preserved.
26:38 Goosebumps!
I remember watching this!!
Loving the channel. Binging ever since I found it. ❤
So cool! Thank you 😊
Many cable providers didn't carry MTV in the early 80s, so programs like this and Night Tracks, Night Flight were where you could watch the latest videos. Heck, many people didn't even have cable and NBC's Friday Night Videos was your only choice. When MTV stopped being a sort of novelty and became more ubiquitous is about when it jumped the shark. Sometimes in the late 80s.

I grew up in Bumfuck Alabama in the 1990s and we did not have MTV for years. In 2003, we finally got it. So as far as music channels went All we had were BET, CMT, and TNN. Those of us who liked rap and pop music were SOL except for this Night Tracks, Night Flight, and Friday Night Videos. We did get FX when it first came out in 1994 and we had the show Sound fx. However.

19:08, 1982 meets a woman with a yellow umbrella. Was the creator of "How I Met Your Mother" inspired by this video from the early 1980s?
Did you record not necessarily the news? I’m dying to find more episodes of those.

Joe Jackson is cool, but Toni Basil's "Mickey" is a real generational classic. Still "sing" it internally or externally today! btw. how much did Gwen Stefani rip off this track? Think about it. It's bananas. B.A.N.A.N.A.S!

I can't remember who said it, but, "There are two kinds of men: those who have a crush on Linda Ronstadt, and those who've never seen her."
This is from 1983 I think.
I remember the 2 months in a row of these. Thanks, but could you upload an entire episode? I'm trying to get these.

1982.. I was in a local "camera" store who decided to extend to video displays. they had maybe a 19 inch diagonal flat screen (tv only at the time). guess how much.. remember 1982 dollars which are like 4x todays dollars (thanks BRANDON).. 20 GRAND! twenty thousand dollars for a piss poor lCd , not lEd TV. 19 inches! not sure of the relevance besides how much I hate BRANDON.

Because they are on tape it degrades over time. It was much sharper originally. Obviously not HD, but it wasn't that bad.
