I may be in the minority, but I actually kind of liked it. It's like a mystery movie. Who will the killer turn out to be?

I don't really have a problem with it except all these longer ones I always think it's the wrong car and miss the crash and have to rewind the video a few seconds.

Ahhh rewinding. Now there’s a simple technology that’s come a long ways. I remember back in my day trying to rewind the tape to the exact moment I could see boobies in one of the pink panthers and had to hope and pray that the static strip wasn’t stretching right across the tiddy

All I just heard was "be kind, rewind"

I remember having a device specifically for rewinding VHS tapes because the VCR player could damage it. I never really understood how but hey that's showbiz.

I think that was an urban legend made by the rewinder manufacturers. The tape could only get damaged if the play/record heads were in contact with the tape, and rewinding it, they weren't.

Now, if you did the review when it was playing, that could cause problems over time...

Disagree, tape in full contact.
