And, how tough are DVD's compared to videotapes against the hazards
of life such as being dropped and bumped, or magnetic fields getting
near them, or security scanners that make X-rays or similar, or grit
or similar foreign objects getting inside the casing? If a videotape
gets scratched, that only causes a few flickers on the screen and the
ret can be watched as before.

I managed to pick up all 26 episodes when they came out on video, and
that is enough for me, since one viewing of each per few months is
enough for me without having to wear the tapes out.
