For the past couple of days, my daughter and I have been watching VHS tapes that my mother had held on to from my childhood. My favorite being the All dogs go to Heaven series (showing my age a little). Several things have come to mind:
1. It's sad that kids today miss out on some of the movies we watched as kids... (Like the Adams Family, or The neverending story). I'm sure you can find them on ebay or something, but who does? Everyone I know watches cable, satelite, or netfilx. No one takes the time to look for their fave movies as a kid.
2. Anybody actually watch VHS anymore? Its funny that we have come so far in technology. But think about this. Any other moms out there been frustrated because your child's favorite movie has a scratch in the dvd/blu-ray? I know I have. (My daughter had a complete melt down when her Toy Story 3 dvd wouldn't play anymore.) But VHS dont get scratches. Sure if you pull the reel out of the cassette, its pretty much garbage. But if you want to replace a dvd/blu-ray its ten times more expensive then replacing a VHS (most of them can be found for 1$ or less on ebay-
DISNEY VHS MOVIE LOT / C...).
3. I'm curious, so here's a question: what type does your family use most? Dvd? Blu-ray? Netflix? Cable/satelite? Anyone else actually still watch VHS?
