Starting today. I think Jessica gets arrested.

I hope they replay them all in sequence so I get all of them.

The music is now in my head.

HAHA me too!!! I love how Billy Crystal just sits there frozen with a huge smile when they introduce the two families at the beginning. He’s so funny..

A total forced smile he presented. :-)

I know, right?

I met him in the early aughts. He was very nice to me😃😊😊☺️😊

Make sure to tape them in EP. You can get 16 episodes per tape!

[–] CharlotteXavier (2357) 5 years ago

The best my machine offers is SLP which gives 12 eps per 120 minute tape.

How’d you get 16?? Dang.

[–] Moonglum9 (10702) 5 years ago

My bad. It’s been so long since I’ve used a VCR. The recording variations were 2-4-6 hours not 2-4-8 like I was thinking. 12 would be the most.

[–] CharlotteXavier (2357) 5 years ago

Yeah. I remember when I had two VCR’s I’d copy movies from the video store on SP and I’d feel so fancy.

I always used the slowest recording play offered, but I tried to buy good quality VHS tapes and was choosy how I used them. First take, only take.

Makes sense.

[–] CharlotteXavier (2357) 5 years ago

I ❤️ VHS

I’m selling an 8-track player if you’re interested.

[–] CharlotteXavier (2357) 5 years ago

LOL. Only if it’s mint and comes with a tape collection that includes all my faves.
