One example: The WCW Invasion angle in 2001 had the makings of must watch television, and that angle had me glued to my television on Monday Nights. And if I had work, I would call my house so that someone could record it for me. Even today, I don't get that urge of recording in my DVR or watching the weekly episodes on youtube.. The last time I felt that it was "must watch tv" was when TNA went to Monday Nights. I was recording the shows(I work) every Monday, and i felt i couldn't miss it. Right now I'm not so sure....
