80's HBO? Sounds like it could be Braingames. (Not to be confused with the new Brain Games show that started a few years ago... )

Nailed it!! Thank you!
There was a show that I believe had segments and in between there would be a picture that would start very unclear (different methods were different colors, lasers, etc.) and as the voice over spoke, the picture would be moving side to side, up and down, etc and getting more clear. At the end it would come into focus and tell you what you were looking at. Anyone remember that show? I believe it was the late 80's and it might have been on hbo.
