Going to the video rental store with my family and browsing for movies to watch. Shelves with multiple copies facing you, then you realise that behind the front ones are blank, empty boxes to bulk up the display and none of the ones on the shelf are the ones you actually take home anyway. Seeing the 3D cardboard cutouts advertising new releases.
I also miss christmas TV. Getting a 2 week TV guide and going through it with a pen putting a star next to the things you wanted to see. Recording one channel while watching another when there was a conflict. Big movies that were at the cinema 6 months to a year ago being on TV. Popular series making good Christmas specials. I guess the scarcity of media made it more desirable and christmas tv was an event. Now it is shit but not only because of what's on, but because you've already seen the food stuff that's on, and the Christmas specials are rarer, and not good. Also there's too much 'classic' TV from the 70s I don't care about. Feels lazy that they rely on filling the program with the old instead of making new.
