Don't you just hate when you have the vcr weekly timer set for the best comedy on, and then a bunch of long-winded politicians (spoiler alert - Clinton gets the nomination, picks Gore as running mate) run over their allotted time, so that you get the last half of "Unsolved Mysteries"? How depressing to fast-forward through the tape and just catch the beginning of a better-than-normal show at the end.
Heck, here in California the convention is over before prime time, so why bother?
