Caps 2.0 6 years 5 months ago Posts: 3411 Forum Admin Editor Category Admin	I taped over most of the stuff our family taped in the 80s, but when it comes to stuff from the 90s and later, I've taped 13 Academy Awards ceremonies (I taped over two of them for various reasons). I also have every American Film Institute "100 Years..." special on tape, with the exception of "100 Years, 100 Stars". I'll be taping the next installment ("AFI's 10 Top 10" next week.

My mom recorded it off the Disney Channel for me when if first premiered during the summer 1987. I watched that movie like every single day for the first two months we had it...than I scaled back to watching it at least one time a week for the next few months.

	I'm a 90's kid and proud of it!

System 6 years 5 months ago Posts: 74809	We had several but unfortunately they aren't around anymoer the tapes have broken we had one that had Duck Tales, and Chip N Dale Rescue Rangers and it also had a Fairy Tail Thaetre type show on it of The Princess and the Pea. Another one had Alice in Wonderland on it from the 1908s, and another one had a mixture of old cartoons on it like My Pet Mpnster, Care Bears and The Disney Afternoon on it with lots of ohter cartoons. These two tapes don't exist either so there really isn't a VHS recording that is a favorite anymore.

It also has a Disney DTV on it. -A tape from 1990 (and possibly also late-'89) featuring the Secret of NIMH, the Flintstones special Wind-Up Wilma, a Disneyland repeat More about Silly Symphonies, a bunch of Mickey and Donald cartoons aired together, Morris Goes to School, and a edutainment special Winnie the Pooh discovers the Seasons. -A tape mostly from 1990 featuring some Zorro episodes, Disney's Rootin' Tootin' Round Up, and a special about the rerelease of the Jungle Book entitled JTV: The Jungle Book reunion. I taped over the Dick Tracy Making of Special for episodes of X-Men and Batman: The Animated Series (I did that a lot... now I'm kicking myself) -A tape from 1989 with two movies and two Thanksgiving specials: The movies are A Boy Named Charlie Brown and the Muppets Take Manhattan, while the specials are Garfield's Thanksgiving (once again, its first airing), and Bugs Bunny's Thanksgiving diet.
