    When I was 2 or 3 year old our Family had a VCR. I still remember watching Popeye using VCR.

      Popeye was one of my favorite shows I remember watching over and over and over again. Singing and acting it out. I also had recordings of the Pink Panther and I think one of, if not the first animated Superman movies or cartoons.

      Good times.
