Grab your handy tissues- because Cinemax is looking to cut the soft-core. In the time before nude scenes were readily available and meticulously catalogued at Mr. Skin, wild cable channels roamed the earth offering up soft-core fixes at late night viewing hours. Cinemax featured the most famous of these late-night adult programming blocks, Max After Dark, earning the channel the affectionate moniker “Skinemax”. Variety recently spoke to Chris Lombardo , HBO’s president of programming, and he had this to say about Cinemax’s future: “The hope is that I don’t hear ‘Skinemax’ any time after our original programming — what I’ll call the primetime originals — start to really take over the (lineup)”. Of course Cinemax has no intention of going non-nude, those original programs Lombardo is referring to include the likes of Banshee and Strike Back , two series which certainly haven’t skimped on the skin. Now let’s take some time to review our favorite After Dark series from recent memory. The porn is soft, but you won’t be! See pics after the jump!
