  Good Eats radicalized me too. Not for plex but for cooking.

    Yeah, everyone in my family has cooked professionally for at least a few years. My wife’s family lived off of microwaved food. As I was teaching her that food could have flavor, she started asking questions about cooking that were easier to answer with a clip from good eats. Eventually, I went looking for a boxed set of it, and one hadn’t been released. So I spent the $600 I was willing to spend on it on a server.

      Alton Brown’s enthusiastic and educational way he did the cooking show helped bring home cooking to a lot of people. For me, we watched it in my middle school’s cooking class

      Alton showed me a few things and taught me that if I was patient I could figure it out the rest of the way. That was almost 20 years ago. Now I happily share cooking duty with my wife.

      I named a dog after him. It didn’t stick, and my daughter named the dog after a kid in class’s little brother, but the through was there.

  Did you find a good source for good eats? The only one I found was low quality TV rips.

    I grabbed the low quality complete rip, and have sonarr set to upgrade episodes. Even a decade later, I think I still have a few 480p/720p episodes.

      I don’t do any of this stuff, but it’s really interesting to me.

      Do you mean that sonarr is always looking for a better version of content you already have, and that over time your library gets upgraded? that’s pretty cool. Can you specify versions in your “shopping list”, like the special edition or director’s cut or even a VHScopy?

        Generally it looks for a higher resolution. Sonar also has the ability to look for anything listed for a show in tvdb’s “specials”. That’s usually things like extended cuts of episodes, or interviews.

  I spent forever looking for Mythbusters on DVDs, the only 2 DVDs I ever found were “collections” and not seasons. So weird they don’t want my money.
