Okay, I think I am on the road to recovery from the end of Six Feet Under:
Realize
you have a problem
(For you FX "Starved" fans... it is appropriate to shout "It's NOT Okay!" at this juncture)
Yes, I realize it is quite irrational that I can not delete the final episode of SFU from our TiVo.
Establish linkages of consequences to your behavior
Well, if I don't delete it... potentially there may not <gasp!> be room for more/new programs on the TiVo.
Identify and manage personal warning signs to relapse
I really did not watch the full episode over again... but the end and the final montage I have watched over and over and over again. If it is not on TiVo, I will not be tempted to watch it.
Develop a support system
I know others were equally obsessed with the show and particularly the finale... we can all get through this together.
Establish a positive self-image
But it is not TV... it's HBO. Ok, it is just a television show... life goes on.
Delete the frickin' finale from TiVo already!!
Okay, okay, okay... I did it last night... approximately 23 days after the original air date. I fast-forward thru the episode, watched the particularly good parts again... got all choked up again(!) when Claire was leaving... held it together quite nicely (thank you very much) for the final montage and hit the delete button.... are you happy now?!?! Huh?!? Are ya?!
Ummm... is it still okay that I have the downloaded episode on my PC?

I can't believe you deleted it. I've downloaded it to my PC, burned it to DVD, and I still can't bring myself to delete it or the 3 episodes before it.
It's not okay!!
btw, Starved is one of the funniest shows of the summer, IMHO.
