    Your Oldest VCR Tape..

    Whats your oldest VCR/Beta tape that you still have that you taped off T.V. many years ago?
    I just recently found a tape from 1985 that had wrestling on it with commercials to. Had some Family Ties episodes as well.

    I just recently found a copy of "Invasion UFO" taped on September 25, 1987 with the original strip joint/Chinese food ads.

      I have a few tapes of MASH from the mid-80s and about 10 tapes from the late 80's of nearly all episodes of the Odd Couple.

          I have Superman:The Movie and Superman II recorded from TV circa 1984 or 85. I also have some badly recorded/re-recorded segments of GI Joe, Transformers, M.A.S.K., Super Powers and WGN's Bozo show with commercials. I found some really good Super Powers toy commercials on those tapes a few years ago!

            Dallas Cowboys Super Bowl games from 92 & 93. I also have a "greatest plays" compilation I made from moments during the 80's. The Danny White, Herschel Walker, Tony Dorsett years. Good stuff. All on BETA. Also have some of the first season Miami Vice episodes. That would be around '84, so that is the earliest.

              "Ph'nglui mglw'nafh Cthulhu R'lyeh wgah'nagl fhtagn"

              In the Southeast Pacific, lies the sunken city of R'Leyh. There lies C'thulhu waits to return to our world with the other Great Old Ones. A hideous creature of enormous size and alien power, it waits for it's time to return patiently. For it has all the time in the world while it waits for the stars.

                Zero.

                Gave all my Disney tapes to a friend of mine's little daughter.

                Gave some of the more popular movie titles away to friends...the rest I threw them in the back of my truck...and dumped them.

                    I have the Adventures of Superman when the local channel WOR-channel 9 began to give them this is about 87...I hate to get rid of them because they have bumpers and previews that the Dvd collection did not put in....
                    Also have Batman when WPIX channel 11 was giving them in 1989. I still have lot's of taped shows.

                              Don't remember the exact year. I got some Saturday Morning cartoon taped. It had to be before Mel Blanc passed away because he was still doing the voice of Barney for the Fruity Pebbles ads.
