It was great that Home Video came to be... but a format that couldn't even deliver a picture up to the standards of the monitors it was built for?

Good riddance!

Really????? No love or fond feelings of nostalgia for VHS at all???? I still have all my UNIVERSAL HORROR VHS tapes as well as my complete COLUMBIA HOUSE set of LOST IN SPACE VHS tapes, all the non UNIVERSAL horror and SCI FI classics that have yet to be released on DVD, all the REPUBLIC two tape sets of SERIALS, as well as my collection of SILENT films on VHS that have not been released on DVD. Take up space, sure. Picture not up to standards, of course. But, Good riddance, no way. I mourned the demise of VHS, and Laser, and Beta. If it wasn't for those three trailblazing formats you would have no DVD or blu. 
I miss Super 8, not VHS. The only thing I'll say is that the Universal art for it's horror VHS was a high-water-mark for advertising the classics. Just good, solid illustration. The Mummy laserdisc bax was a real stunner. I almost wish I still had it just to store things in.
