Addiction

Confession time. I have an addiction. You know the kind that has you jones-in' for it in the middle of the night? The kind of addiction where you wake up in a cold sweat, and only one thing can help. You will be at a party surrounded by people and all you want to do is sneak out. Well I think it's time I stand up and confess...

My name's Caitlin and I have a box set addiction. It's bad. I have even been known to watch a whole disk in one night. I have even stayed up till the wee hours of the morning watching. My latest I am watching is Brothers and Sisters. I sneak home from work on my lunch hour and eat my lunch whilst I watch. And to me, this is a slice of heaven.



Eric is usually my dealer, but others have been known to get me my fix. My past addictions include and are not limited to..


Yes, I have a problem. But with all this being said, does anyone have any box set recommendations? (I can quit anytime)

I don't have any box sets but I have a dvr addiction. I record tons of stuff and watch it all. I can't stand to miss one of "my shows." BTW, you have great taste in what you watch!

LOVE Greys, 90210 and the OC!! The new 90210 is pretty good so far. It's still developing a little. It reminds me more of the OC then it does of 90210 though. One really great show is Wings. The first season isnt as good as the rest of its still way good.
And I'm way glad you were at the shower too. It's always fun seeing you and catching up and what not.

Yeah, I have only watched half of the new 90210 episode, cause I have been so busy, and I don't have a DVR (but am jealous of those who do :)

So far, it's okay, I am assuming it will get better once it gets into a rhythm. Most shows are that way.

I totally feel you on this post. I LOVE watching seasons and seasons of TV in short amounts of time. We watched Seasons 1-3 of The Office in 3 days.. I LOVE Gilmore Girls. I totally want the huge box set with all of them. And I love the OC and Friends.

Anyway, I can't think of any that you didn't list... So not sure why I commented. Just got so excited about all the box sets! :) jk.

Well as your dealer of choice you know what I have to offer. As for Bro & Sis, I did the same thing on my lunch and I had seen them all when they aired. Like any good dealer I have to sample what I sell! I have seen almost all the box sets you listed, except 90210 sorry no interest there, and I still watch Friends almost every night before going to sleep. I have a problem and I can't stop...As for you next boxset I still think you must watch NCIS.

Ok, so Dawsons Creek, if it's on a channel, I stop no matter what! I LOVE that show! And LOST is the best ever!!! I tell you, I have not heard of Brothers and Sisters, but looking at your collection, I think if you like it I would probably end up liking it too. You have good taste!!!

Coleman Family said...

I know exactly what you mean I have the same addiction, and have seen them all I definitely agree with Eric on NCIS and maybe 24 even though I'm mad a keifer right now and if you like action.

good luck!

Bonnie said...

Knight Rider. Or MacGuyver. That will cure you.

Jess said...

I love box sets! I agree with Eric. NCIS is a good one. I can't watch it while home alone at night though! (I'm a wimp like that) I say go for Veronica Mars. It's only 3 seasons, but I love it!!!

Box sets are THE way to go. No commercials, fast-paced; it's like a really long, incredibly fascinating movie! My next recommendation for you is Arrested Development. Honestly, one of the funniest shows ever made. Memories of it can crack me up in the middle of the night, while i'm showering, or even at the dentist office. it's a MUST see!
