When I was 5, my father put a TV antennae on the roof of our house (this was the early 70's and we only had the rabbit ears until then). A few weeks later, my favorite TV show at the time had its series finale. For the longest time, I would beg my father to take the antennae off the roof, knowing for sure that if it was gone, my show would come back on.
