Dear Tiger Rant young uns..

Since the Old Miss game is coming on so late, I have a very difficult decision to make. Obviously, the game is way past my bedtime, so I'll have to tape the game and watch it on Sunday morning. The problem is that my VCR is Beta and CVS only sells blank VHS tapes. So does anyone know where I can buy blank Beta tapes by chance?

Otherwise, I have a very difficult decision to make. I'll have to record the game over one of my Beta tapes already in my tape library. I'll tell you now that Alf & Knight Rider are NOT eligible. I have write protected those episodes by breaking the tab on the back..

With that said, do I record the game over Saved By The Bell, Who's The Boss or Full House? Any help is really appreciated.

What Would The Rant Do (WWTRD)?

Either way that game will look like shite quality wise but I guess you know no difference anyway


Thanks for the early morning laugh again!

Do not, DO NOT, record over Saved by The Bell. Those episodes featuring Screech are priceless.

If you have the original season of Saved by the Bell when they are in Jr. High, then record over that shyt. No Kelly Kapowski...no care.

You’re screwed baw. One of the reasons cited for Betamax losing the home video wars was that they could only record about 1.5 hours of video, not long enough for a football game. And vhs could record up to 3 hours. Of course nowadays even this isn’t long enough for these commercial fests.

Get rid of Full House. After you watch the game, you can get one of the grandkids over to hook up their Netflixes and you can re-record them from there.

Alyssa Milano and Kelly Kapowski shall not be deleted.

You can place a piece of tape over the tabs so that you can record over the Alf episode when Alf returns to melmac. It’s just too sad to relive over and over again, isn’t it?

I think it was/is 2, 4 or 6 hours depending on the recording "quality" chosen...
