Trying to find the name of a show I saw one scene from in 2010

I saw a clip of a cop show in a bar years ago with a guy yelling 'you're a ghost in your own house' and it stuck with me. It took me like 8 hours of searching old forum posts and IMDB lists to finally figure out it was an episode of 'Southland'. What's the longest you've spent trying to track down a show from a tiny memory?

Wait, didn't Southland actually start in 2009? I thought it ran for a few seasons after that. @james92 you're right it's that era but the scene I saw was from season 2 or 3 I think. Anyway eight hours of searching felt like forever but I was just stubborn about it. I remember writing down every cop show that aired around 2010 and checking each one's episode guides online. The weird thing is once I found it I didn't even watch the whole episode right away. Just seeing that one clip was enough to make the whole hunt worth it.

My buddy spent three days trying to find this weird 80s horror movie just from remembering a guy's creepy laugh. He finally found it on a random Reddit thread about forgotten VHS covers.

Wait, wasn't Southland a 2009 show? Honestly, my record is probably two days for some random cartoon intro.
