Some VCRs have a blue-screen defeat, like some older Sharp VCRs, while others
don't, like some Panasonic VCRs. If you want a VCR that doesn't have the
blue-screen, then look for a machine that was made before 1990. Avoid
Mitsubishi, Panasonic, Magnavox, Sylvania, Quasar, JCPenney, and Teknika decks
made after 1987.

I actually feel sorry for those VCRs you needlessly destroyed. A very violent
and wasteful attitude, that it is.

At the very least, you could have sold them in a garage sale and made some
money off of them. - Reinhart

Now that I have cooled down.......

Thanks for the advice from everyone. All the brands you mentioned are
the ones I have had. 2 Panasonics and 1 Magnavox.
I will look for an older one, or another model mentioned that has a
disable switch or programming.

As far as why these vcr's get to me.
I work 12 or more hours a day farming, and get little to show for it.
Then I come in the house and got to listen to the lard queen bitching
about the frikkin blue screen on the tv and everything else she can
find to complain about. All she does all day is sit on her fat ass
and eat and get fatter. The tv tuner does not work, so the vcr is the
tuner. So, I get home totally exhausted, then listen to her bitching
for several hours, and finally have a few minutes to myself. I sit
down to relax and watch the news, and that damn screen keeps flipping
from the program to blue every few seconds. There goes my relaxing,
and my temper. Especially lately since the temperature has been near
100 every day.

Yes, I could buy a new tv, and even get a satelite dish, but I watch
tv maybe 3 hours a week, tops.... The lard queen has it on from the
time she gets up till I get rid of her at night. I already told her
to get off her lazy ass and get a job, and buy a frikkin tv, but all
she does is sit and eat and eat and eat, while I watch my money turn
into lard.

I figure there are two things I need most in life. A vcr that dont
turn the screen blue and a divorce. I don't ask for much from life, I
just want to watch the news after a hard days work without the screen
turning blue and without the background bitching.

Thanks again

Not to bask in another man's pain, but that's downright hysterical.
The poor vcrs didn't stand a chance.
