Remember that Gerry Todd sketch on SCTV? He has 10 VCRs running: "And if you for some reason you have to leave your house and go outside, do what I do -- tape everything."
I believe he's found a taker, but here is the Craigslist ad:
A trip down Analog Lane- 27 years of video taping American history!!
I got my 1st VCR from Circuit City in Norfolk Va. in November/December of 1986] to very early 2014 I video recorded (VHS) television shows of all kinds- news, magazine shows, David Letterman, Johnny Carson, Jay Leno, It's Gary Shandling's Show (the 1/2 hr. comedy show where he was a condo/home owner and had fun with HOA), Siskel and Ebert movie review broadcasts, lotsa' MTV, etc. etc.- using my bank of 12 VCRs and being a virtual slave to VHS purchasing, labeling, and programming. Videotaping was everyday, not just sporadically. I kept the taping continuous and constant.
The tapes are arranged in both chronological and numerical order (for example, you can see what the world was doing on a particular date). They are divided into categories, ie, Jay Leno, News, News & Nightline, Today Show, etc. Sports? Just x-games, superbowls, and some Olympics coverage. I feel my video tape collection has some worth, ie, its fascinating to look at TV shows of the past when they were originally presented and see the "outdated" commercials or simply to see living history; I am not married and have no one to really pass them on to (I'm 62)
