Reminds me of the days when I’d hear the Dallas theme come on the TV after Knight Rider and then I knew it was time to go to bed.
 
In related news, I saw this headline two days ago:  
“Sony to end sales of Betamax tapes next year.”

Needs better contrast.

That hair is glorious.

All of you kids get off my lawn.

Not you. You’re free to stay. Always nice to see another MLP fan in my age demographic…

That was my commission from him Friday during Planet Comicon in Kansas City. :D Got one of Katie’s tiny ones also (Fluttershy).

That extra tight skirt and eyelashes are doing things to me…

Don’t worry Luna hun, let me take a look at it, maybe the heads just need to be cleaned.

The ßetamax WAS the first consumer VCR (not just ‘in a way’), I used to own a 1980 Zenith Video Director, a ßetamax VCR that was of those huge 40 pound ones with mechanical controls

Yes, so was Dallas (“Who killed JR?”) and Falcon Crest, the 80s were the era of the hour-long prime-time soap opera. The modern equivalent would be shows like Mad Men.  
@soundtea  
Yes, that was a major fumble by the ßetamax creators. They made the cassette as small as it was and only an hour long because they believed that the big thing for it would be home videos, not movies (they came out with the first camcorder, the ßetamovie). JVC (who created the VHS format) got it right by making the standard tape speed 2 hours long and selling the VCRs for less and licensing the manufacturing rights with multiple companies. That, and I read that the porn industry settled on the VHS format early (the Rule of First Adopters), but I don’t know if that’s actually true or not.

Her trapper keeper is full of Lisa Frank.

…it took me a minute to realize that didn’t say “Baymax”. XD

@soundtea
 
Yeah.

@mercurypony  
Although the 1 hour limit essentially killed it when movies came to households.

Betamax was like the BlueRay of the VHS. Our family had one back in the day.

@GuitaurenHero  
Dynasty was a long-running prime time soap opera/drama.

Magnum P.I. was an action show starring Tom Selleck.  
Beta max was the first VCR, in a way.  
Not sure what Dynasty was but I’m willing to find out.  
(props to the Trapper Keeper, though.)

Why Was I born so late?

I don’t know what half of those things are.
