Thrifty, folksy and cantankerous, Matlock charges a premium for his services but is worth every penny: This renowned attorney, always clothed in his trademark light-gray suit and driving his signature Ford Crown Victoria, has an uncanny knack for finding overlooked clues and exposing murderers in dramatic courtroom scenes.

> The cost of VHS tape in the 80s is one reason I think VHS tapes are an underrated collectible. But Gen Xers are more nostalgic for their video games than for movies, at least for now.
Ugh. Good riddance to VHS. I still have "fond" memories of sitting down to watch a movie only to have it interrupted half-way through for one of these reasons:
1. Tape's banjaxed and it's full of noise and other garbled junk due to bad recording, poor playback, or deterioration of the tape itself.
Or, my personal favourite:
2. Someone's half-recorded an episode of Matlock because they grabbed the first VHS tape in reach so they could watch it later. Or it's half of your Uncle Fester's 48th birthday cake reveal, shakily recorded with a home camcorder.
DVDs were the best thing to ever happen to the home movie entertainment in the late 90s.
