HDTV and flatscreens were still a new and very expensive thing in 2006-2007 and it wasn't until 2008 that they were getting common along with the at the time new generation of consoles.
DVDs and players were a bit cheaper and available but even those weren't taking off until at least 2004ish when portable players were cheaper than laptops with dvd drives.
I wouldn’t be that liberal, the cultural 90s died when cel animation stopped being a thing. So around 2002 to 2004-ish. If you want to be really conservative, the new millennium started after 9/11 when things went from upbeat to depressing
Eh 08 was the end of the late 90s 2000s era that was the year vhs fully died a lot of people bought newer tvs and consoles that year and most importantly it was the year the internet really became mainstream (or at least began to since 2010 did that even knew and 2013 was the last push to where everyone was using it)
1. They fled Springfield and were living in hiding, out in the middle of nowhere, limited tech is understandable.
2. It is a lot easier to record on VHS than DVD.
>It is a lot easier to record on VHS than DVD.
This kept VHS relevant for a lot longer than movies were being printed on the format
DVD-R never really took off for home recording of TV shows
TiVo required an ongoing subscription, and you couldn't just pop a disc out to lend a friend like you could with VHS. In fact, for 99.9% of people you couldn't archive shows recorded with TiVo at all
No need to overthink it. VHS was still in use during whatever the hell decade Homer and Marge got married. Odds are once they retell their dating days yet again, their marriage will be recorded on DVD.
She recorded it over their wedding tape (likely from the early 90s at that point with the floating timeline) to prove to herself their marriage was finished and they were hiding out in a cabin in Alaska and older tvs with vhs ports were still used a decent amount in 07 even if they weren’t being produced anymore
Everyone I knew still used VCRs and tapes up until around 2009-ish. Of course by then they mostly had replaced them with DVDs, but there wasn't really a mass-replacement of tapes until around that time. You have to remember, they made VHS tapes up until around 2005, people didn't let go so fast.
A few years back Disney did a worldwide EMP to disable all their discontinued VHS tapes..
In case you can't tell, he's mocking you. VHS actually never worked, we used our imaginations to see the picture in the static, something your generation might find difficult to believe.
i was.

It was an overrecording of their wedding video.
>"We have a wedding video?"
As time progresses even that explanation will be outdated
What do you want then to do about that?
heteros are being outlawed
Personally I can't wait to be stuck in a breeding camp.

It was a log cabin in the middle of Alaska.
Frankly, it would have been more unusual if they had a DVD player.
they still existed at the time. the 90's bled into the 00's at least until 2010, then the smarphones won and lots of tech became obsolete overnight.

This is such a Cinemaphile-centric way of looking at things, I honestly love it.

No, cartoons just have a like 5 year to 10 year lag behind due to production.

Not to mention VCR/DVD combo units being popular around then.
Although the movie was bad, that part always gives me chills

Do vhs still work. I remember back in highschool I had a tv/vhs player and tried to play a disney tape only for the tv to just produce static.
A few years back Disney did a worldwide EMP to disable all their discontinued VHS tapes..
sure, still crappy but still works. Just look at RLM videos, most of the content still works.
In the long past some VCR units would only output to a specific channel on the TV, and usually it was channel 3

And what did the voices tell you to do?
something about rewatching the hit tv series Coach and then NCIS LA.
for real?
Anon, it was still 2007.
