TV shows and/or movies you are obsessed with, or were obsessed with!

I know there are a TON of 'Lost' fans out there, and I know a few personally and they are like GANGBUSTERS about that show. So I thought, gee, have I ever been like with a show??? And yes, I have. Back in the 80's, after Magnum PI was 'Simon & Simon'...and I was a FREAK about that show. I was in love with the blond, and still am thank you. But, I would CRY if I missed an episode (teenage years, you get the idea). Soprano's is really good, but I can live with out it.

So, what are your obsessive TV shows or even a movie??

Veronica Mars, haven't missed an episode since I caught on
Prison Break, caught it from the beginning haven't missed an episode since
Sex and the City, always good for a laugh, I watch the reruns almost every night
House, it's a must watch for me now-which creates a small problem since it's now opposite Veronica Mars I must be home on Tuesday nights

I'll also admit I got a little weird with 'The Surreal Life' when Peter Brady was on it. I got a wee bit into it....and was like omg when is the next episode on??? I loved seeing the romance unfolding between him and Adrienne Curry. And loved to see that crazy bitch Chyna.

Am itching right now for some Monday Night Football...but just because I totally miss football......

I was as serious about Twin Peaks as you can get
without actually joining a club and eating pie every
Thursday. Damn fine coffee!

Of course, after repeated viewings, most of the episodes
are pedestrian, but the ones directed by Lynch are remarkably
spooky.

At least I'm not the only one with that pain, Gator. I refuse to miss either show. If that means showing up to chapter late, then I guess that's my problem (and it isn't like I'll be the only late person).

I like Big Love too, but I don't have HBO. I've been catching the episodes I miss on OnDemand since my parents have it. It's a good show though, I'd watch it if I had the channel.

I LOVE LOVE LOVED that show! So sad when it was cancelled.

24 is my only obsession. I love House and The Shield, but I can live without them, whereas 24 I can't

.

Movies? Boondock Saints and American Psycho. Definitely a little obsessed!

LynnieD · April 10th, 2006, 01:41 PM

The only movie I ever got really nuts about was The Godfather. My then boyfriend MADE me watch it (we rented it) and I just did NOT want to see it...but, to be a good little girlfriend I did. And LOVED IT! So much so, that I made him go back to the video store as soon as it ended to rent The Godfather II!! Couldn't even wait to see it!! Still love them both!!!

The Godfather III, well, that's a different story....

CherryDarling · April 10th, 2006, 10:55 PM

I'm mostly a movie junkie:

Kill Bill 1 & 2
Godfather I & II (I'm witcha Lynnie, Part III is...well, just doesn't compare)
Scarface
Coming To America
Notting Hill
Batman Begins
(there's sooooooooooooooooooo many more)

TV Shows:
30 Minute Meals
Sex & The City
Chappelle Show

TV - Absolutely Fabulous on BBC America back in the 90's once a week. Always bought champagne and 'nibbly bits' and never missed a show). I LOVED that show and still do. Jennifer Saunders ROCKS!
Movie - The Changeling with George C. Scott (1970's) is the most suspenseful, creepy movie I've ever seen. Mr. Skeffington with Betty Davis; Hope Floats; Dodgeball The Movie; Rocky Horror Picture show.
