Today I coined a new word: episatisfaction. A combination of the words episode and satisfaction. Definition: to enjoy DVD episodes of your favorite show back-to-back-to-back.
I just purchased season 2 of the BBC show, Coupling. It is 9 episodes in 2 cds. Last night I watched the first 3 episodes and today I watched 3 more. The episatisfaction coming in that the last two episodes on CD #1 were so funny, I’m ready to power through the final 3 on CD #2. Will my high episatisfaction let me pace myself?
Same with Sex in the City. I have all 6 seasons and am on season 6. I’m trying to have the restraint to not watch them all at once, but it’s really hard once you get going.
So, if you are bug-eyed going to work in the morning because someone gave you 2 seasons of Alias or Seinfeld or something, blame it on episatisfaction.
