My Monk side rises again. Last week we were having house problems and I somehow forgot to record U.N.C.L.E. The week before that, I missed the first fifteen minutes of it. I don't think either episode is one of my special favorites, but I don't even remember what they were about.
The point is, I am seriously ticked off. And having made those screw-ups, it makes me so mad that I feel like buying season 1 or the whole set to make sure I have the episodes I was unable to catch in full or at all. (I wish I could have all of them anyway, since MeTV cuts things out of them.) I do not like setting out to record every episode and then failing at it. I know I'm going to stay upset about it to some degree until I can get hold of at least the episode I missed altogether. I felt the same way when I was unable to catch an episode of The Wild Wild West's season 1 back when MeTV showed it. That time it was worse, as it was one of my special favorites. I also couldn't have any peace with myself until I got hold of another copy of H.M.'s Route 66 episode after I recorded over the TV copy. (That was when I just had a budding interest and it hadn't blossomed into a full-blown crush yet.)
I don't know what causes such OCD behavior, at least when it doesn't concern special favorite episodes, but I definitely have it. I've always had some OCD tendencies, especially regarding organization. I also have a similar problem where if I miss even five minutes, I feel like it's pointless to record the rest, if I'm recording for keeps. I like completeness, if I'm planning to keep it and re-watch it multiple times. (Nevertheless, I recorded the one missing fifteen minutes anyway.)
On U.N.C.L.E., neither buying option is a possibility for me right now. Season 1 on Amazon is currently at $74, and I'm not even sure if that's new or used. Either way, that's PREPOSTEROUS! Especially since one of the releases of the complete series is currently going for $83 new! That's an incredible buy and I really wish I could get it, but that's out of the range of possibility for me right now too.
Why won't they re-release the individual season sets when they're re-releasing the complete set? Why why why....
