I can only imagine how frustrating it must've been to have gotten up to go the bathroom during an episode of Gunsmoke or The Rifleman only to return and find that episode's bad guy had been shot.

All my VCRs had timers where I could set up a time and put the TV on the proper channel ahead of time and the VCR would automatically record the episode I wanted....

Teevo before Teevo lmfao

Eh, if I knew how to program the VCR, I wouldn't have to pre set the TV channel, tieing up the TV all day just for one 30 minute episode of Dragonball Z or Pokemon

I always taped the shows that I liked. I still have some of them, wish I taped the commercials too though for nostalgia reasons.

The ads that played through the TV broadcast of Neverending Story and the Star Wars Trilogy from the very early 90s are ingrained into my mind.

Also, that Return of the Jedi inexplicably started with shots from Carmen

I remember first hearing the line "What's a rerun?" from Back to the Future, and was dumbfounded at the fact that you could never see an episode ever again after the broadcast. In hindsight, it makes sense due to the limitations of media.

Not always.

I remember some shows reran seasons before the next season was ran or did filler episodes.

If you only had one shot
One opportunity
To Record
Or be Forgotten
Would you claim it?

Palms sweaty
