    Probably enough nostalgia out there to do a mockumentary Office-style video store show set in the late 80s to early 90s.

    "Video Town" in my westside strip center was the bomb.

    I'd tell my little brother to get my mom to ask questions with the owner guy (family friend, neighborhood friend), and while they were distracted I'd sneak behind the curtain and look at the boobs on the porno covers

    Netflix has a "The Last Blockbuster" documentary if you just want the real story.

    "From the creators of Happy Endings."

    Happy Endings was a pretty underrated show. I'll give this a chance. but I hate sitcoms.

    Happy Endings was incredibly underrated. I don't think you can find a higher density of high quality comedy packed into 30 minutes. It's tragic that show didn't get a longer run.
