It Sounds like OCD...obsessive compulsive disorder. I know cuz I have it. There is medication for it.
OCD is an anxiety disorder in which the brain gets stuck on a particular thought or urge and can't let go. OCD manifests itself in obsessive thinking or beliefs that tell a child: "If you don't do X, then something uncomfortable or even life-threatening will happen." Think of OCD as an "overactive alarm system." The rise in anxiety or worry is so strong that the child feels like he or she must perform the task or dwell on the thought, over and over again, to the point where it interferes with everyday life. Most children realize that they really don't have to repeat the behaviors over and over again, but the anxiety can be so great that they feel that repetition is "required" to neutralize the uncomfortable feeling.
Here is a good site to learn about it:

I don't know, but it doesn't seem so abnormal to me. Our minds get so much data from TV and radio that it may just be a way for the mind to deal with it.
I might ask, what kind of stuff are you watching?

most likely the diagnosis that would generally describe your complaints is obsessive compulsive disorder...but i would ask a professional about it for more specific diagnosis. if it is something that bothers you, seek medical attention through your family physician and they will be able to refer you to someone more qualified.
