The perverseness of fate

So I'm downloading various old TV series *cough* 21 Jump Street *cough* Remington Steele, right? It takes days to download one episode, which is fine. That's what I expect.
But why in the name of everything holy is the download process regularly completed on a Sunday night?! Which is the night of the week when I really, really have to work because of a regularly occuring Monday deadline?! And when I have absolutely no time to waste?! WHY? *cries*
Just one second, Mr Steele, I'll be right there with you!
ETA: Oh dear God, it's the first episode of the first season! The one I've never seen before! *squees*
Deadline? Which deadline?

Did you ever see the episode where he pictures himself and Laura in the future, and they're married and have children?

That episode doesn't sound familiar. I don't think I know the very early ones and the final ones. I've watched those in between a hundred times, though, whenever they were re-run *g*

Erm...except substitute "read 245 downloaded fics" for the solitaire.
