When I was growing up, a friend of mine actually had to pay a guy in the US to tape all the episodes and mail over the VHS tapes to us in Europe. (German TV showed the shows years later, cut out a couple of minutes to fit their schedule, dubbed over with mediocre voice actors and randomly ordered and dropped episodes without any recognizable pattern.)
We've beaten geo-blocking and regional licensing over 15 years ago and it's getting easier by the minute. Truly great times we live in.
- Vivtek 16y agoOh God, the German dubs (and the Hungarian ones for that matter) are truly atrocious.
- noonespecial 16y agoTotally did that. My friend in the US would fill an 8 hour tape, disassemble the tape and send just the one tape spool to me in Germany. I'd reassemble the tape, load it into the precious NTSC player and Trek my brains out.
