I think TV should stay around, it reminds us that there are things in life we still have to take as they come. I don't believe in Tivo.

That is true, but it can have a negative effect on folks as well, right?
Gasp... a Tivo atheist? Ya know in the "Bible" it say Tivo was created in 7 days... haha..

Hehe well, the bottom line is TV is bad and good, like life, and we simply choose the parts we want to focus on. Most hate commercials, but some enjoy them, etc.
I enjoy Netflix and Hulu, but TV is not needed since there are VCRs for that (me= very old-fashioned).
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Again, I agree, I'd do believe though that reality TV is an evil thing, most dramas and sitcoms are fine for the human mind... but when someone watches "The Jersey Shore" or that show with kid pageants and think it's cool and decide to pursue it... I think that's the bad part of it
Oh my... I own a VCR as well... but I use it for a shoe rack... don't tell me you do beta too.

Oh indeed, there is tons and tons of shit on TV and many
many shows are just weak retreads of other ones. However,
I find the stream of noise and colors helpful for me,
when I draw especially. So much of TV is just a river of
shit, but it reminds us that the world is bigger than us
and our choices and pisses us off
I own at least 6 VCRs (all VHS). I do own BETA tapes and am
always on the lookout for a BETA VCR. I also own 3 LASERDISC
players and Lasrdiscs to go with them

Again... I couldn't have said it better myself, haha. I remember you saying before that the flashing colors and white noise helped you create, I still love that technique, haha. Annoyance at the world around us is certainly a great inspiration.
Whaaa? A beta VCR? Is that like a VCR/DVD combo? Why in the world would you want such a thing, haha? Nostalgia must pump through your veins.

I think people do need to be annoyed too, by
commercial breaks or whatever else. It's too
easy these days for people to get lost in their
own little comfort zone. I find now that I seek
out things to annoy me
I don't like BluRay and such, I nostalgia very hard.
Plus some titles are literally only available on tape.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
As annoying as being annoyed is I completely agree.I'll try to annoy you a bit then, haha.
Not a fan of BluRay either, I'm not about to start my DVD collection all over again... fuck that. Nostalgia is definitely a good thing 
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Hehe most DA artist do, but you haven't yet
Yeah, I don't know why people get rid of their DVDs
when the Blu-Ray players still play them
Tee-Hee! Me too. I collect VHS, especially if they've
got vintage 80s packaging
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Haha, I feel ya there. Gimme time, gimme time.
But the DVD's won't be in High Def 
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
-< o <- -> o >- I better be on the lookout.
Def-shmef is what I say! I'm keeping my old-timey TVs too
I'm pretty sure I've got over a thousand VHSs, maybe over 2.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Is that a piggy face?
Why keep the TVs? You like your video in the worst possible definition, eh? Holy shit...!?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
It's surprised faces
I like it the way it was in the 80s 
the genuine experience
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I don't see it
Aren't you 27 or some shit, haha? That's only a few years of the 80's, haha.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I'm gonna be 30 in like 5 weeks
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I got 2 years of the 80's... and all of the 90's and I somehow don't remember them at all, haha
They're still new to you? Jesus, mate, you must not be a big fan of modern tech., hah Duuuude, those TVs are too damn heavy
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Oh, I remember the entire 90s, unfortunately ^^
You only have to lift them like once when you put them in.
Out of shape?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Haha, not like the 200's are anything to remember
That's true, and yes... yes... just a little bit though, haha. But still, those things aren't just heavy they're bulky as hell too.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Of course they're bulkym they're furniture, the center-piece of the room
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Nope, that would be the coffee table
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
You only need the coffee table to rest the remote on
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
And the next tape you are going to pop into your sweet top-loading VCR -O U O-
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Hehe I'll never change
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
How do you manage to keep 1,000s of VHS organized though?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
It isn;t completely organized >.>;
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Hahahahaha, that makes me happy for some reason.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I tend to organize by video distributor, I have a have a shelf for RCA/Columbia, and a shelf for CBS/FOX. I think next I'll make one for Warner Home Video
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Why wouldn't I be? Each distributor handles package design differently.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Alphabetical seems so much more practical though.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
They are alphabetical, after being organized by distributor (that icon is made from "Miami Vice" season 3 episode 1 where Crockett's Ferrari [actually a Corvette with a kit on it] is exploded by Jeff Fahey... the main guest star was Liam Neeson).
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
That seems like a lot of work. How... in... the... shit... could... you ... know... that.. so... quick...?
If I ever play "Trivial Pursuit" I'm calling your ass if I need help.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
It's a lot of fun ^^ How? I own the first three seasons of that show and I've seen every episode at twice ^^
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I've never even seen a single episode of "Miami Vice"
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
You should at least see the first season
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
If I had Netflix I'd humor you and watch it, but I don't so.. yeah
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I wish you had Netflix too! Or if you lived nearby I'd just let you borrow my copy of the first season > o >
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
It would be nice
Haha, that would work too, I can imagine driving a few hundred or thousand
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Well, if you're in the 48 contiguous states you can't be more than 3,000 miles away tops, right?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
If I remember correctly you're in Washington.... and I'm in Tejas, so the distance wouldn't be a brisk walk.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Hmmm, okay, that's about 2k? And maybe some change? I'd need some good walking shoes and a shopping cart to lean on.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
The shopping cart would make you look... homeless... I'll blow the dust off my Pumas, haha. See you in Utah
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Hehe any dude walking miles of lonesome highway is likely to look homeless, shopping cart or no
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
You do have a point there. I like that you top it off with benches
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Oh shit, they'll be coming in from all sides trying to convert us
> o > We'll have to wear some Hebrew and Muslim religious stuff
so they'll leave us alone.

Uh, Montana wouldn't be much better. How about Colorado?

Hmm... okay, I'll pack a light jacket.
