Day 28 is first TV show obsession.

Kind of tough to answer because I guess it depends on your definition of "obsession." I guess it would probably have to be....


V.

But, it was quickly followed just one year later by a show that sent me into a frenzy:


Moonlighting.

And this was before the days where you could record stuff, by the way. IT WAS TORTURE.

Wait. I'm sure I recorded V. I remember "playing" it -- we used to act out scenes. I'm sure we didn't do it while it aired.

Hrm. I might need to harass a friend about this.

You're probably right. I believe the technology existed. I think the difference was I wasn't able to say to my parents, "I want to record this so I can watch it over and over and over again." They would have told me I was crazy. So....yeah.

That's not true! My dad recorded just about every episode of Moonlighting on VHS Tape! He still has them too, despite me buying him dvds. :)

LOL My mother took to the VCR like whoa in the 80s! "That's on after your bedtime! I'll tape it and you can watch it later." Moonlighting, Friday Night Videos, V...

Moonlighting was on after your bedtime? I watched that live. It couldn't have been TOO late.

Have I never mentioned that for years I didn't know The Wizard of Oz had an extra hour tacked onto the end? They'd reach the Emerald City to see the Wizard for the first time, and Mom would say, "Right! They've reached the Emerald City! Time for bed!" and shut off the TV. I've only seen the Avissimmians like twice. :))
