Season 6, Episode 9

In season 6 we have been stuck
And numerous calls brought no luck.
Episodes 8 to 10
Left us wondering when
Into episode 9 we could tuck.

It’s a problem, the company said,
But we’ll fix it; why don’t you instead
Stream it on your TV.
If it’s smart, you won’t see
The omission that you seem to dread.

Since our TV is dumb, we were screwed
So we paused and some other shows viewed,
But today, a surprise
And a sight for sore eyes
For the show we were missing’s been queued.

We had almost accepted defeat;
Thought the season would stay incomplete
But the problem’s resolved
And the techies involved
Gave my husband a real birthday treat.

Well, I'm curious what show you were watching. And happy belated birthday to your husband.

Thanks, Leslie! Hope all is good on your end. We were watching “Ray Donovan” and, after getting the issue resolved, it happened again 3 episodes from the very end. We’re hoping enough phone calls will get it fixed...

Aww, happy birthday to hubby! Our TV is pretty dumb too (along with that guy clicking the remote!)

Too bad your grandchildren were not there to help with the technology, but good to hear your husband celebrated another birthday! Better luck in the years to come! Aloha! Rico
