At first you had to use a specific tv for VCR tapes and then they cam out with a smaller version that you can just plug into your TV.

VCR tapes are the things that you put in your VHS player and the tapes are so chunky you can only put one in at a time.

You cant buy newly made VHS players or tapes since 2016 and the last manufacturer stopped making them.

When television was introduced in the 1950s, a 16-inch set was the biggest available.

"Twenty years later, the biggest screen size was 25 inches. Screens 27 inches across, diagonally considered the smallest big-screen models today-didn't go on the market until the 1980s."

people figured out how to bring the size down so that you can fit a 46 or 52-inch screen into the set and make it smaller or bigger.
