the fun was going to Blockbuster
It was fun. Expensive, but fun. By the time you got your kids out of there, you spent more than the theater with the candy and extras.
It did require families to sort of plan out their weekend viewing, though. It was feature film focused, as well. Folks wouldn't have planned to watch entire series over a weekend. Typically people DVR marathons or before that just bought them if they were particular fans.
Blockbuster (at least for us) meant - getting 1 or 2 new movies and a couple of old favorites for the weekend. Maybe something just for the kids, but for the most part it was a heavily PG experience.
Good times...

where I grew up, there were probably 3 Blockbusters, 2-3 Movie Galleries, and a Video Warehouse.
There were times where my dad would basically make the rounds to each and every store until he found the movie he was looking for.
I also remember back in the NES days. We'd go grab a game...Bases Loaded for instance. We'd get home, the fricking game wouldn't work no matter how many times we blew into the cartridge. We'd go back, swap it out for another copy, wash rinse repeat. I don't think I ever ended up playing Bases Loaded because every copy was fricked.
