I accidentally broke a VHS tape that belongs to my dad - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

I was all set to watch A Charlie Brown Christmas that was recorded back in 1996 by my dad, but the tape wouldn't play no matter what I did so it had to be ejected from the VCR.

Spools ended up coming out, and now it's broken. I hope my dad won't be mad at me because I would really like this tape to be fixed.

And I was hoping for commercials to be on the tape as well.

Okay. My dad is not mad at me at all and he'll see what he can do when he gets home from work.

I hope it can be fixed though...

Welp. The VHS tape is now stuck in the VCR, which means that it’s officially bad.

And I forgot to mention that it’s a rare VHS tape that was recorded from CBS.

I'm sooooo sorry to hear...

I broke my mom's tablet almost a year ago and I've yet to extract everything out of it. I never told my dad about this because he may hit the roof, ceiling, and a few planes.

I almost wanted to deck an ******* at Staples because he was sooooo ****in' rude to me I was almost tempted to deck him!

That was a slap not to me, but to my dead mother!

There's still another tape of the special, but it's not recorded at all.

Instead, it's from Shell and wish that one got broken instead.

Because the weather outside wasn’t great, so I figured that it would be a great time to watch a special.

I think it can be fixed. You might, and I'm not sure, but you might have to take The VCR and videotape apart. heck The VCR and make sure that the spools are ok. If you can do that, you may be able to play it.

My dad tried taking the VHS out of it with no success at all.
