An "Unmissable" Post...

So, I'm watching Law and Order: SVU tonight. Now, before we go any further, I want to explain: in my defense, I only ever watch SVU when I'm already on the couch, can't find the remote and are too lazy/tired/sick/hungover to look for it. (Actually, tonight, it was all four.)

Anyway, they are doing that little teaser thing at the end. You know that they called next week's SVU? "Unmissable." It was an unmissable episode.

I doubt that is a real word. Is missable a word, even? I looked it up. None of the four dictionaries I own (Jesus, I'm a word nerd.) had "unmissable" in them. A quick search of online dictionaries show that only two out of six (Oxford and Cambridge) listed it. What makes it even stranger is that my 2006 Canadian Oxford doesn't have it in there, but apparently the American one does.

So, I'm putting this to a vote: Is there such a word as "unmissable?"

And truth be told, it doesn't matter if it is. Even if "unmissable" is a word, it is a REALLY, REALLY bad one. So fuck you, NBC. Shameful.
