I remember being hyped as hell for Power Rangers Zeo when it was about to come out. There was a BIG cliffhanger at the end of MMPR (I won't spoil it but those who followed it know what it is) and they were quietly building up to the new season for months.
Finally, the big day comes. Power Rangers Zeo is about to premiere and I'm over at my friend's house to watch it, when suddenly my parents come and tell me that I have to go on an errand with them. There's absolutely no reason why I would've had to go, the errand doesn't pertain to me in any way shape or form, my friend's house was right across the street so it's not like they would've had to go out of their way to pick me up afterwards (as I could just walk home), I wasn't in trouble and they didn't have any problem with me watching Power Rangers or hanging out at my friend's house, so there was basically no conceivable reason why they made me go with them.
I tried to explain that I wanted to watch this episode of Power Rangers and I've been wanting to watch it for months, but my mom replied with "well, it'll be on again eventually". I tried to explain that it was a serialized show and that if I missed this episode it would be ruined for me as soon as I saw the next one, she was like "well, that's just tough". I asked to be allowed to go home to tape the episode on our VCR, she said "No, we have to go right now, there's no time" (it was not an urgent errand, though). So yeah, I had to miss the premiere of Power Rangers Zeo that I'd been waiting to see for months for no good reason.
Sometimes I think my parents did some things when I was a kid just to troll me.
