I can agree with that.  I've got at least 2 shows that are months
old that I've told my told my wife "Don't touch these!" :)

I think it should allow multiple delete algorithms.  It should
be fairily easy to implement, just give the user a combobox in the
setup and give them options like:

"Auto-Delete Order (delete in this order)"

	* OFF
	* Oldest
	* Oldest Unwatched
	* Lowest Rating

We're only talking a page or two of code for each method.  It will be nice
if any initial code is flexible enough to plugin other methods, but that's
up to the person who actually stops talking and starts coding. :)  It's
not a high priority for me right now since I have lots of space or else I'd
start tackling it.  I'm busy putzing around the commercial stuff and other
code right now.
