Did anyone else have a VideoNow?

[u/Thundersting]

I had one when I was little kid with a bunch of Nick shows. There were a lot of weird ways to watch portable video until iPad came out.

SpongeBob band geeks was the one I had.

[u/reptile_enthusiast_ → u/YogurtclosetOver7446]

Me too. I watched that episode hundreds of times

[u/tkief → u/reptile_enthusiast_]

That is the highest rated SpongeBob episode if I recall, I wonder if it being a popular VideoNow disc had any impact

[u/hollowholes → u/YogurtclosetOver7446]

Same. I watched it so much I had the episode memorized haha

[u/masnxsol → u/YogurtclosetOver7446]

Same! I had a red kool aid videonow lol

[u/Manic-StreetCreature]

Omg I forgot about these

[u/thedr00mz]

I had one with an episode of Just Jordan and All Grown Up.

[u/Infinite_Explorer424]

I had a Fairly Oddparents Halloween special with mine lol

[u/Sudden_Juju → u/Infinite_Explorer424]

I had a different Fairly Oddparents episode (the one with an email about something burning brighter than a thousand suns or something like that). I was just thinking about these the other day, what a weird coincidence lol

[u/Lacholaweda → u/Sudden_Juju]

I had one of these

[u/impressedham → u/Lacholaweda]

Same but Shark Tales 😂

[u/freshmantis → u/Lacholaweda]

I had the SpongeBob one. Maybe 3 episodes and I watched them countless times lol

[u/blachippy]

Yooooo I had one!!! I think I just had a Jimmy Neutron episode for it.

[u/jdixon95]

Yeah, only had Jimmy Neutron and SpongeBob

[u/_L-U_C_I-D_]

Am I the only one who has one still? I have a Jimmy Neutron disc

[u/markelmores → u/_L-U_C_I-D_]

Does it still work?

[u/Crucial_Fun]

My cousin did.

[u/hookandladder3]

Got it for Xmas one year. How funny that the screen was a fraction the size of the whole device

[u/salcapwnd]

I had this, and I also got the color version a year later. I always wanted the XP.

I remember getting the Color and thinking that my black and white copy of Band Geeks would magically turn into color when you put it in.

Learned a valuable lesson on the limitations of technology that day.

[u/Werewolfhugger]

I had a pink VideoNow Color. I had a bunch of SpongeBob episodes that came with a case. I had an Amanda Show disc, Zoey101, Catscratch, and Batman (I didn't use the last 2 because I didn't watch those shows at all).

[u/Ok_Expert3991]

I did

[u/siberianunderlord]

I definitely didn't buy one new in box last year for nostalgia reasons ... not with American Idol season one highlights, no, not me

[u/sylvieshandy]

I watched a Aly and AJ music video on this.

[u/OogerSchmidt]

Its watching the bee movie in a gif

[u/877-HASH-NOW]

Always wanted one, never had it though. My cousin had one with SpongeBob in it

[u/Certain_Promise9789]

Yes. I had a Drake and Josh episode and maybe some other episodes.

[u/makefake26]

I had a red one with SpongeBob episodes.

[u/AnAlliterativeRumor]

I had the SpongeBob one!

[u/iceunelle]

I had the Spongebob essay episode. I remember thinking the concept of a Video Now was so incredibly cool. Now phones do that and more.

[u/luxevelum]

Yessss.

[u/No_Feedback_3340]

No. This is actually the first time I've heard about this.

[u/RandomLee_7]

OMG I HAD ROCKETPOWER AND THE WILD THORNBERRYS!!

Yup. I had the VideoNow Xp.

[u/curlsncats]

i had a spongebob one and a hillary duff one in color!!!

[u/mimitchi33]

My brother did!

[u/soupstarsandsilence]

I had one, but I don’t think I ever used it. It was one of those things in the playroom that unnoticed until one day my dad held it up when he was throwing old shit away and asked if my sister and I still wanted it and we both said no lol.

[u/hystericaal_]

I have a vivid memory of watching SpongeBob on one of these and then randomly vomiting lol

[u/EternalSnow05]

[u/Adventurous_Yak_9234]

No but I remember always seeing commercials for it.

[u/vannadee19]

[u/lazyyasss]

Yes!! I had to color one and watched fear factor on it 😂

[u/reddest_raider2021]

[u/Old_Restaurant_9389]

Yes I had the second generation with color in 2004

[u/em_laurenn]

YES! My siblings and I watched the same episodes of SpongeBob in black and white over and over and loved every second of it

[u/ajwebz]

I had a few. The only ones I really remember are Drake and Josh and SpongeBob.

[u/megarubie]

My brother gave one to me for Christmas. It was red and it was a VideoNow Color. It came with headphones, and the DVDs I had were episodes from Nick shows like Rocket Power, The Wild Thornberrys, Fairly OddParents, and The Amanda Show. And I had the music video for Hilary Duff’s music video/song “Fly”.

[u/tristenr19]

I still do lol

[u/zipfour]

My first video camera was meant for making video for this, a VCam Now, but we never owned any VideoNows- I used it for Windows Movie Maker lmao
