Yes you can. I have one right now with the new Musical 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee. I see the show every few weeks, and discuss it with everyone.
I want to audition for the show, I sing the soundtrack, talk about it with everyone I know, made freinds with cast and staff, and even have the entire show memorized.
I admit, I'm obbessed with the Bee.

I just bought the CD of music from the movie musical "Chicago." I am so overtaken with it that the lyrics from the songs are creeping into my everyday thoughts and coming from my mouth in the form of conversation. Never thought this would happen, but even now as I am writing this, the melodies of "All That Jazz" and "When You're Good To Mamma" are flooding my brain.

Yeah, I get a bit obsessive about shows. Wicked, Into the Woods, The Last Five Years, Little Shop of Horrors. I think it started when I first watched 'Seven Brides for Seven Brothers' over and over again when I was 9, until my mom hid the video!

As embarrassing as it is to admit this, I was truly obsessed with Australian Idol in 2004. My friend and I watched every single show together (including the behind the scenes ones). We checked the website constantly, and we both joined various forums. When the show finished, we went to concerts in 3 states, and also went to the in-store signings. We also bought the CD, DVD, and a few other bits and pieces of merchandise. Then we made scrapbooks of our 'Idol Journeys'.

Oh man, do I HAVE TO answer that?? No, I know I don't, but I have a few "guilty pleasures" in the form of TV shows!! Some of them are just so well written, it's difficult NOT to be involved; maybe not to the point of obsession, but comfortably involved!

People in the UK seem to have become obsessed with so called Reality TV shows such as Big Brother. There is obviously something meaningful missing from their sad pathetic little lives

Ya in the past I was obess with titanic.
By the way tell you some jokes:
-Doctor! I have a serious problem, I can never remember what i just said.
-When did you first notice this problem?
-What problem?
One more joke:
A guy calls his vet and says "What should I do with my cat?Vet says "What do you mean? Guy says "I had a leak in my lawnmowers gas tank and the cat drank the gas. Then the cat began to run around and around the yard, climbed a tree. then fell out of the tree stiff. Vet says "Is the cat dead? Guy replies "nope he ran out of gas.
Last of all just want to tell you that whatever you do, just don't give up. Also you must love and care for the people around you. In that way they will also show you the love that you show to them. Just be yourself and happy everyday. Wish you all the best and good luck!!

Obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) is a psychiatric disorder, more specifically, an anxiety disorder. OCD is manifested in a variety of forms, but is most commonly characterized by a subject's obsessive (repetitive, distressing, intrusive) thoughts and related compulsions (tasks or rituals) which attempt to neutralize the obsessions.
The phrase "obsessive-compulsive" has worked its way into the wider English lexicon, and is often used in an offhand manner to describe someone who is meticulous or absorbed in a cause. Such casual references should not be confused with obsessive-compulsive disorder; see clinomorphism. It is also important to distinguish OCD from other types of anxiety, including the routine tension and stress that appear throughout life. A person who shows signs of infatuation or fixation with a subject/object, or displays traits such as perfectionism, does not necessarily have OCD, a specific and well-defined condition.
To be diagnosed with Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder, one must have either obsessions or compulsions alone, or obsessions and compulsions, according to the DSM-IV-TR diagnostic criteria. The Quick Reference to the diagnostic criteria from DSM-IV-TR (2000) describes these obsessions and compulsions:
Obsessions are defined by:
1. Recurrent and persistent thoughts, impulses, or images that are experienced, at some time during the disturbance, as intrusive and inappropriate and that cause marked anxiety or distress.
2. The thoughts, impulses, or images are not simply excessive worries about real-life problems.
3. The person attempts to ignore or suppress such thoughts, impulses, or images, or to neutralize them with some other thought or action.
4. The person recognizes that the obsessional thoughts, impulses, or images are a product of his or her own mind.
Compulsions are defined by:
1. Repetitive behaviors or mental acts that the person feels driven to perform in response to an obsession, or according to rules that must be applied rigidly.
2. The behaviors or mental acts are aimed at preventing or reducing distress or preventing some dreaded event or situation; however, these behaviors or mental acts either are not connected in a realistic way with what they are designed to neutralize or prevent or are clearly excessive.
In addition to these criteria, at some point during the course of the disorder, the sufferer must realize that his/her obsessions or compulsions are unreasonable or excessive. Moreover, the obsessions or compulsions must be time consuming (taking up more than one hour per day), cause distress, or cause impairment in social, occupational, or school functioning
