I'm with Doug here. I own recordings of all the eps from Season 2-10
and I never watch more than 15 minutes of any of them. I'm getting
older now and occasionally I'll absent-mindedly watch the *same* 15
minutes the next time. But now I'm getting worried that I'm getting too
uppity and am watching more than Sampo. I think I'd better cut it down
to single digits...
