Another of those questions

katiefooleryToday, I come bearing another question, albiet slightly more trivial than my previous one. Instead of pondering how one changes without noticing and how a beloved activity can become almost tedious, today I am asking: is it possible to like a TV show TOO much?
I only ask because I think I'm addicted to a TV show.
The show in question is Kath & Kim. Last Christmas, I impatiently counted the days down until I received the ABC vouchers I'd begged for, so I could buy the complete series on DVD. And believe me when I say that those DVDs have been worked hard. I watch them over and over again. I find new things each time I view them. I'm even thinking about buying Da Kath & Kim Code, despite not feeling it was that great when I saw it the first time.
In short, I'm addicted. I could watch the entire series in one day and then turn around the next and watch it again. I feel as though I know all of the characters with their silly little flaws (flaws that I have come to adore). Kath's house is as familiar as my own, right down to the recipe books in the kitchen and the pattern on the furniture in the "good room".
If I could step into that show for a day, I'd do it.
I never thought I'd become addicted to a TV show. There are certainly plenty of shows that I love and willingly drop everything to watch... unless it's something important. I even mocked the Bindi and her obsessive love of Sex and the City, which she would watch over and over again.
I never thought that would be me.
What I want to know is: is it a bad thing to be so obsessed with a TV show? Is anyone out there suffering a similiar addiction? What should I do about it?

Plus I've downloaded all the past seasons.
I just hope they never get rid of it...although I know it can't last forever.
So yeah, I know that 'can't get enough' of a TV show feeling.
