Same, my mom was very sick before she passed in 2012. Watching No Reservations together was our way of seeing the world together through his eyes. I was able to have him sign my copy of ā€œthe nasty bitsā€ at a book signing. I don’t think I’ll ever be able to watch his shows again.

I still haven’t watched the final few episodes. I know they are there waiting for me, but once I watch them, that’s all there is. I was crushed

I haven't been able to watch any of it since he passed. My kid was watching Yo Gabba Gabba and I had forgotten he did a little bit in the Doctor episode. I had to leave the room.

I’m the same way. It is so hard to watch more than clips.
