I tend to fall in love with shows long after they’ve stopped airing. A couple years ago, I bought all seven seasons of _Buffy_. A few months ago, I finally got into _Six Feet Under_. I had caught a few episodes on Bravo, but I was way too young to appreciate it then. I’ll probably buy the fifth season next month. ---

Six Feet Under - For some reason which I don’t understand, I really enjoyed watching SFU whenever it played live on TV. I watched it several times. BUT! — Once I had recorded all the episodes to DVD, I could just never bring myself to watch them ever again. I could never understand the reason for that. But once I realized what was happening, the same thing became true for almost every other TV series I had recorded. And it remains true to this day. Does anyone have any idea why this is? It is also true for many other series that I have recorded. Once I got it into my mind to get the stuff and record it onto DVD, I felt very compelled to git 'em and record 'em. But just as soon as I had recorded 'em, I just never felt like watching them agin. The one exception is Big Bang Theory. I can watch those episodes over and over again no matter how many times I have seen 'em. Here are all the series that I have recorded but just never can seem to want to watch them again. COMEDY Family Guy Larry Sanders Sports Night Two And A Half Men The Dick Van Dyke Show The Larry Sanders Show The Office Two Guys, a Girl and a Pizza Place Veep Weeds DRAMA Boardwalk Empire Mad Men Sopranos SCI-FI Eureka Game Of Thrones True Blood Twilight Zone (from 1959) DOCUMENTARIES BBC Documentary On Stupidity BIG BIGGER BIGGEST - Aircraft Carriers, Airports, Sky Scrapers, Trains, What The Bleep Do We Know Is this some basic facet of Human Nature? Like for instance, … “Getting something is more fun than Having it?” Could this be a universal truth? And, if so, could it apply in this case? It certainly seems to be true for me.
