“Flat” and “flat screen” arent the same thing. CRT TVs had a curved glass screen. Due to the fact that the rear projection could just project across the curve. With technology advancements they were able to improve picture clarity while flattening the screen. These were still bulky projection style TVs, but were called flat screen. But then when actual “flat” TVs (in the form of LCD, etc) came around people kept using the term. So a flat screen TV could be very thick.
Even if we take it to be a modern TV: How the hell did they manage to put a VCR on that thing?
There was a weird transition era where some flat screens still weren’t super skinny.
There were also those big ass plasma TVs and stuff.
Yea but a VCR or even a DVD still wouldn’t have fit on top
Man, you could have had a mini golf course on top of those TVs!
Could be a DVD player.
I don’t think that’s what they meant, rather how could you fit any device on top of a flat screen TV?

They had to work like hell to modify the analog signal to project the curved image on the flat screen.
TBH it didn’t affect the viewing experience.
My first LCD TV is pretty chonky, you can definitely put one there, though it’d probably be at an angle
