Episode description

Bye Bye Miss American Retailer.

And on the pedestal, these words appear: 'My name is Blockbuster, King of Video Rentals; Look on my Racks, ye Mighty, and despair!' Nothing beside remains.

It's a sad day when a part of your childhood shutters their doors, be it Blockbuster, Hollywood Video, KB Toys or even the indoor playplace Discovery Zone. But Chris and AJ are Open for Business this episode with their fond and not so fond memories of these relics of the past. Do they deserve a place in our memory still or can we erase them just as they have been erased from the building fronts?
