There used to be a show on VH1 called "Bands Reunited," where they took popular bands from sort of mid-80's to mid-90's that had broken up and got them together for another performance, and filmed it like a reality show, tracing the effort to track the members down, revisit the breakup, all that. It was great fun.
Each episode was one hour. One week, I noticed the band to be reassembled was Squeeze. I love Squeeze. Just love them. Glenn Tilbrook gets nowhere near the credit he deserves as a vocalist and especially as a guitarist, so I was beside myself with joy when I saw the episode listing.
The night it aired, we had a previous engagement, so I asked my wife to set up the DVR to record it, and TBH, all I could think about while we were out was getting home and watching this episode with Squeeze.
Got home, rushed in the door, ran to the TV, switched it on, pulled up the listing...and the very first thing I noticed was that it was only 30 minutes long, half the time.
I started yelling at my wife for messing up the scheduling, at the DVR for messing up the recording, and at the Universe for hating me so much as to mess up the one thing I wanted to see. And of course, there were no rebroadcasts scheduled...
"Oh well, I'll watch the 30 minutes that recorded, that'll be something at least."
Watched it, and it was revealed why the episode was legitimately only 30 minutes. Out of all the bands they portrayed, Squeeze was the one band they failed to reunite. It all fell apart midway through and they were never able to pull it off!
