How obsessed are you? - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

DianeChambers87 · 07-22-2003, 12:33 PM

I am so obsessed with my obsession Cheers that every appearance and every movie (which there are 10 characters) I try to have on tape...

Small Wonderian · 07-22-2003, 12:57 PM

My obsession is with the 80's sitcom Small Wonder. It's my favorite show and I'm so obsessed with it, that I have tons of the shows pictures, created avatars and siggies with something from the show, look up the show on IMDB on a daily basis, know the characters by heart, and basically now know all 96 episodes by heart.

Talk about being enamored with the show.

Oh, and I also have a SW desktop on my computer, screensavers of Tiffany Brissette (the girl who played Vicki the Robot and Vanessa), and have the theme song timed to play whenever my computer boots up.

DianeChambers87 · 07-22-2003, 01:00 PM

I have a cheers shirt, like a gazillion tapes, the dvd, clippings from the newspaper, over 350 pics on my computer...and I spend way too much time on here..lol

Small Wonderian · 07-22-2003, 01:07 PM

Here's a picture of my obsession:

Krisalicious · 07-22-2003, 01:18 PM

I have three obsessions. Shane West, Three's Company, and Chicago (both the movie and the musical).

Shane West- I buy anything and everything he's in. Even if a magazine has just a paragraph about him in it, I'd have to get it. I know pretty much everything about him now. I search for pictures a lot, though there aren't too many different ones. Most on the internet are the same ones over and over.

Three's Company- I have about 70 episodes on tape so far. I hope to get all 172 this year. I have episodes memorized. I even found a Three's Company t-shirt in this magazine and had to get it *cough*. I have a site about it, but I really need to fix it up, since it sucks right now. I have the TC book, the Three's Company E! True Hollywood story, and the Three's Company TV movie on tape. I know lots of information about it too. I even wrote a paper about it for school..

Chicago- Now this obsession scares me sometimes. As of right now, I've seen the movie 6 times. I sort of have it memorized. But I do have all the songs memorized, lol. It's the best movie I've ever seen, but I also love the musical. The first cast in the broadway revival was pretty good. I like Bebe Neuwirth as Velma and James Naughton as Billy, but I don't like Ann Reinking as Roxie. My favorite cast is the London cast. Ruthie Henshall is the best Roxie ever. She has such a strong voice and plays the character so well. Ute Lemper is a pretty good Velma too. I have all the songs from the musical memorized too, and I can sort of play Razzle Dazzle on the piano. I know a lot about it too.

*EDIT* omg I forgot blend challenges! Yes, I must say, I love them so much right now I think they're an obsession. Last month, i tried one and didn't win anything. Then I tried again, still didn't win. Then I finally won an honorable mention. Then a gold. Then after these awards I kept going and going and just couldn't stop! lol. As of right now...I think I'm entered in at least 20 challenges at the moment. ahaha. It's addicting.

Ewan's My Man · 07-22-2003, 01:26 PM

I've been getting better with my obsessions. I usedta get up at 5 every morning before skool just to watch some episodes of FOL before I went. Let's just say...I'm better now.

I do know that I saw Moulin Rouge for the first time on March 22, 2002. And that Ewan is 18 years, 2 months, 6 days, 9 hours, and 41 minutes older then me...I think...I might needta recheck that. And that he's 32...he has a tattoo...he smokes...has a wife (buuuuuuuuuurn) and two kids (sizzzzzzzzzzzzle)...he's been in one NC-17 movie so far...he's REALLY hott...he lives in London...I have his autograph...tho...unfortunately for me...I've never met him...of course...I'd prolly get arrested IF I met him b/c of the things...I'd...do. He would act while naked on stage when he was first starting out.

. Dropped outta skool when he was 16. Has an older brother named Colin who's in like the Royal Military or SOMETHING and parents, Jim and Carol who I BELIEVE are teachers. I have 3 posters that he's in on my walls...a few pictures on my wall...some pictures in my closet collage and 9 8X10's (give or take a few inches on some) above my closet.
And that's not even IT...but I won't bore all of you

Small Wonderian · 07-22-2003, 01:52 PM

Oh, and I downloaded 4 complete episodes of Small Wonder.

Christopher · 07-22-2003, 01:52 PM

I am seriously obsessed with Buffy The Vampire Slayer. I LOVE that show! The stories, the actors and the writing it is fantastic! Ever since Buffy aired I recorded every episode, which is 144 episodes. I also have the DVD box sets. I also have 39 episodes of the show downloaded, complete season 6.

Here is a screen capture I took from the musical episode

PZelda · 07-22-2003, 02:06 PM

My obsession is Vicki Lawrence.

I've made tons of stuff with her in it (my avatar included). I've visited every Vicki site I can find, read her autobiography, watched anything I can on TV that has her in it. I know her birthday is March 26, 1949, she is 5'6", her red hair is NOT real - she started dying it before she appeared on the Carol Burnett Show because everybody told her that she looked a lot like an younger Carol. Her first marriage was at 22 to Bobby Russell and it only lasted two years, then she married Al Schultz in 1974, had two kids - Courtney (May 5, 1975) and Garrett (July 3, 1977).

I know SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO many things about Vicki, it would make your mind boggle. That is just a few of the things I can name. And I've met her in person. Na na na.

My Obsession: Richard Dean Anderson/MacGyver
I've Been To Every RDA Site I Can Find. All I Ever Talk About Is How Great I Think He Is. I Make My Avatar & Siggy Devoted to Him Almost Everytime I Change It. I Know What Sports He Likes, If He Ever Had Kids, Married etc.

I Have A Few Folders On My Comp. With Pictures Oh Him In It. A Couple Hundred Pics Prolly. One Of My Fave Pics Of Richard:

¤I Love Clay Aiken¤ · 07-22-2003, 02:26 PM

Most of the time my avatar/sign. is about Clay or Conan, but those arent nearly as big as my obsessions. You probably cant tell, but Happy Days & Laverne & Shirley are my biggest obsessions- particularly Happy Days. I have over 100 tapes full of episodes, Truth Behind The Sitcoms, Teenagers Throughout The Years, A&E TVography, ET in TVLand, ET Weekend Edition, Laverne & Shirley reunion- if its anything about those 2 shows you can bet its on tape! As for memoribilia-

Happy Days:
Dr. Pepper glasses, 2 board games, bank, view finder, 3 sets of cards, 3 lunchboxes, pictures, watch, trash can, Fonzie bobblehead, 2 tin posters, ALL the TVGuides, Mad Magazine, books...

Laverne & Shirley:
All the TVguides, board game, pictures, autographs. Not to much for L&S, but Im working on it!!

But yes, I am the biggest HD freak there is. If I even hear the title, I perk up. I could go on for days about that show. I even paid the extra $60 to get my license plate to read HPY-DYS. Now dont get me wrong, I love my Conan & Clay too, but compared to my shows, psh, they arent nowhere close!

I've quite a few obsessions

Steve Martin- I love the way he writes. (I've read some of his books.) He's the best comedic actor out there. He's just really witty and smart.
Conan O'Brien- The best late night host ever. I'm so in love with him. He always makes me fall on the floor laughing, literally.
Spongebob Squarepants- My favorite cartoon. People always say that he's my lover since I am obsessed with him. Haha.

And then lastly I love anything vintage. I'm into all the old stuff. I'm not really a new age girl. I like all the styles from year's past.

Oh oh and I like dolphins. I collect lots of dolphin stuff. I hope one day I'll be able to swim with one.

webuster · 07-22-2003, 02:34 PM

Dianechambers87- have you ever heard of that 10 minute cheers episode made for the government about premium bonds? I heard it is still in the treasury- but most of those old bugs bunny, superman government made tapes are widely available for download now- have you heard anything about this cheers tape.
I honestly shouldn't be filling your head with ideas- because I'll blame myself tomorrow when I see it on the news that someone with a giant I heart cheers banner tied around their waste scaled the treasury walls looking for a tape- and then fell off.
