I agree that you are not going to be able to please everybody with a feature
like this. But I do think you can frequently think about it a little bit and
make a choose that is reasonable and benefits most users. As I said before
the 1 day wait period makes the watch list very annoying, and even unusable
for many users. However, not having the 1 day wait period would only mean
that some people would have 1 or 2 extra episodes in their watch list that
they may not want to watch that night. Seems like a poor trade off for most
users.
