Nostalgia - I missed so much stuff forever as a kid because I had to eat dinner right that damn second, for some reason it was not possible to eat dinner five minutes later, at the commercial, while watching something that there would never be an opportunity to watch again. It took my parents forty years to loosen up on their dinner time schedule - these days they are perfectly happy to watch TV during dinner, next to their grandchildren. Though it is still an occasional pain when a show like Firefly or Stargate Universe gets canceled before it’s time. Whatever happened to “Er ist wieder da”? It seemed to disappear everywhere overnight.
