Recently my boyfriend managed to make a huge mistake. He asked me to watch 24 on DVD. I am hooked. I had avoided watching the series because I knew the real time format would suck me in but he insisted. I think he is a wee bit surprised by my ability to obsess over a tv show. He does not believe me when I say that B5 was actually worse.

Hmm, As far as TV shows go, Desperate Housewives and Gray's Anatomy are my current faves, with Gray's at the top actually.
SciFi Friday is pretty cool.
And Reality TV still sucks me in.
Not sure any of them would be obsession worthy.

Well, the next thing that came along was Farscape, which was brilliant. Unfortunately it got cancelled, which caused a huge fan fight back, including 70 brits holding a rally in London. I helped [img]smile.gif[/img]
I tried moving on to Enterprise, but that never really got me.
Firefly had a short yet shiny life.
Both Farscape and Firefly (Serenity) were revived as features, which pleased me no end.
So, what to watch now? I watch Lost, but I'm not hooked. Same with Stargate Atlantis. Battlestar Galactica has its moments, but I'm starting to lose interest in that too.
Hyperdrive is quite funny at times:

There, that's my lot.

Ian,
I totally agree with you. B5, Farscape and Firefly had me as a avid fan. I couldn't wait for each ep, made it a point to be home, cruised the message boards and POSTED (lol).
I watch the shows you mentioned, but none of them inspire that kind of loyalty in me. I try to be home to watch them, but if I miss, it doesn't seem that important.

24 has been set on the DVR and I post on a pretty regular basis. Tracking down spoilers...
Be afraid, very afraid...

I agree about Farscape and Firefly. I just saw Serenity and feel that cancelling Firefly was a huge mistake.
Right now I watch Survivor and Monk. And My Name is Earl caught my attention, although last week's episode was not appealing. Oh! and I like Lost.

I can't say that I've ever obsessed over a television show like I did over B5. Farscape was next best in scifi, but it didn't take me over like B5.
I started out watching Battlestar Galactica, but I've lost interest in that. I never got hooked on Lost, and the epsisodes I've seen don't pique my interest.
Right now, I watch mostly sports, or reality shows.

BMat, I just heard that they are taking a two week break from filming My Name is Earl because Jason Lee has the chicken pox.
