I Think That Cubby's Got It In For Me
How to feel like an utter schmuck in 5 easy steps.
1. Constantly DVR reruns of a 25-year-old sitcom, waiting for the funniest episode in the history of television comedy to come around.
2. Come home Monday to find that it did. Pump fists in the air.
3. Watch it, relive it, love it.
4. Go to your cable menu to change the record settings so the episode will stay on your box until you delete it.
5. Screw up; delete it.
Sigh. I need either a tranquilizer or a Chiclet right about now.

At first, I thought you were writing about M*A*S*H.
But, seriously, do you have a recover feature? If you make a mistake in TiVo, you can go to the "Recently Deleted" folder and rescue the show, which I've done a few times when I've been delete-happy.

Thanks for the glimmer of hope, but I checked when I got home and it wasn't meant to be. I could go buy the DVD (it's not like it was a Newhart episode), but it's not quite the same as serendipity.

It makes my brown eyes sad to see that you deleted this.
Now I may never know what a yellow light means.

Some fish just aren't meant to be caught.
