   Remember when you couldn’t rewind it?

   Yeah, back when people had to be glued to the tv except for a quick trip to the bathroom during a commercial.

   Our PVR (DVR) can show up to the last 59 minutes, before the channel was changed. I use it because I get distracted by online comics.

   Yes, and a damn shame too. More shows back then were worth saving, unlike today.

   Yes, and I have DVD’s of a few of those old shows. Today’s TV I’d fast forward.

   I still don’t. It’s just not that important…

   Sure do, and now I’m so happy to be able to skip commercials!

    Not really, though, I seem to remember there was a time somewhat long ago that I did not have a VCR. Probably back when all my friends had Nintendos except for me. lol

    Yep and we had to put a magnifier on the 6" screen in order to watch it from more than 3 feet away.

    I am one of those who has had a collection in every media since the BetaMax (working at Zenith, I bought many of those and saved 100s of tapes). I hated to loose all the operas, especially (and a few very “R” rated ones). I since bought an Amazon copy of one of those, but it’s an X that I’m embarrassed to even show my lover. We discussed it but it really is not anything we need. I prefered the R!

    My collection of VHS is larger but not the selection and I’d like to sell them if anyone would want. My collection of DVDs is even more varied and uncountable and hopefully my LAST collection. HD and Blueteeth are not needed for these 75 y o eyes.

    Yes and I remember when you had to get up and change the channel. The remote – greatest invention until the computer.
    And – what is wrong with rewinding? It’s crucial to know if he had the microfilm or not.

    My wife would invariably fall asleep during TV shows and I’d have to recap the action during the commercials, which were loud enough to wake her up.
