Hi Jerry,
We get this question a lot. Due to copyright laws, we cannot digitize those old analog recordings. You can still find used VHS players on E-Bay, Goodwill, estate sales etc. I suggest purchasing one that can play both VHS and DVD (my preference is JVC such as the DR-MV150). These have HDMI output which is a better quality than the composite yellow, red and white wires. There are many copyrighted commercial shows on YouTube and archive.org that you could stream to your TV. Check there for your shows.
