It’s funny how we managed to survive without streaming services. I distinctly remember teaching my kids how to rewind a vcr tape. They watched the same Barney episode about 400 times per day. Guess kids nowadays can’t handle that.
it’s funny how the “when we were kids, whe didn’t even had a tv at home and we were happy”-routine from our grandparents moved up to “we watched the same episode on vhs on repeat!” now millennials are getting older.
I mean at least my parents had rabbit ears… kinda cruel to force a kid to rewatch Barney when PBS has been accessible over the air to 95% of people for like the last few decades.
I just don’t understand why you would rewatch something 500 times when you get hot barney straight off the press back then… it was even super easy to watch barney later, you just pressed the red button and recorded over the tape.
And if one even bothered to read the manual, you could usually preset recording times on most devices. Although shows also had this weird habit of being offset by ad hoc commercial inserts or unplanned interruptions. So it wasn’t super uncommon on most channels (PBS was actually a bit of an exception, due to lack of ads) to be off a few minutes from schedule.
Even at a young age they have their own freewill. I forced nothing, merely provided them the tools, which was my point. You don’t have to have a subscription to a streaming service to keep a child entertained.
I think some people have not had much interaction with young kids. Sometimes they only want to watch one. single. thing. over and over and over and over again.

I didn’t force them to to anything. Not sure how anyone jumped to that conclusion.

The 90s were neat.
Yeah lets have our kids watch Barney 400 times.
