Is this a common problem with Browncoats?

If we only had a couple of seasons of Firefly on our hands, I think this Browncoat would be in the same boat. Instead, I generalize this difficulty with any Joss Whedon show. Like I try to keep trying follow StarGate, but this voice in my head tells me to pull out my DVD sets. I just had a blast watching "The Pack" about a week ago, because I hadn't seen it in at least six months.
But, the fact that there are only fourteen Firefly episodes means that if I watch them too much, I will get sick of them. So, I have to spread it out.

Sure am relieved to find I ain't the only one two steps from a looney bin.
Now, I'm gonna make tonight a no- Firefly night.
Yeah, and maybe I'm a Chinese jet pilot.
I can go ya one better. I not only watch them pretty much everyday.....strange how only 14 eps don't get old......but I take them with me where ever I go........ya.....I know.
Therapy anyone?
You just never know when you will be bored at a friends place and you can pull them out and bring in a new big damn fan!!!

Thanks, Darin. I'd been wondering why this stuff happened to me. That 'splains it.

Yeah, sometimes I replay them in my head at work, too. It helps if I have another 40 minutes to go before the end of the day. I think to myself: Right about now Wash is throwing the part while Kaylee finds her syncronizers. Now Simon and River are wheeled into the hospital. Let's see, 20 min. to go? I guess River and Simon and Jayne have been caught by the Feds and are about to be interrogated... etc.
There was a period of about a month where I didn't watch any Firefly at all! It was weird. Then I put in a disk, and it seemed so fresh and different. I noticed things I had never noticed before. Especially pacing and camera moviements, and the occasional little line. It was like getting new Firefly. :)
I have heard of a place where humans do battle in a ring of Jell-O.

I have this problem all the time. I use to hope there was nothing on cable so I could pop in one disc or the other to watch an episode. Now I have seen them all at least two dozen times, I have listened to the commentaries several times each, and I still never grow tired of it.
Every Friday is Firefly night in our house and when there is nothing on cable, we still reach for the Firefly DVDs. That voice calls out to me all the time, but I try to resist.

Nywoe, I'm on a forced fast, last night I watched no Firefly, and my goal is to go two weeks 'verseless. And on that fifteenth day I'll pop in a FF disk and I'll be so thrilled my head will explode (ever see that dude in Scanners?).
Hey, my hand's startin' to shake....

Hell yeah. A day aint a complete day until I've ended the night with an epsiode of either Buffy, Angel or Firefly... In fact I have a routine. Midnight comes along and I decide which episode to watch. Put it in the Mac and while all the menu is doing it's mojo I fix myself a bowl of cereal. While that's soaking a while I fetch my duvet and drag it into the front room - with the resonance of the dvd menu still looping retrieve the cereal bowl, hit play and then snuggle down into the duvet - cereal in hand and munch! Ahhh Let the show begin..... Perfect!
Years ago it used to be the same routine but with "Northern Exposure".

Yeah *brushes tear away* it effectively ended there didn't it. That particular episode was very moving. Northern Exposure was one of those shows that would really wrench the heart strings wouldn't it?
D'you remember the one where Chris on the Radio went collecting lights for his latest piece of art? Then when the whole town shows up to see it he switches the thing on and it's a million different lights of all colours and shapes and sizes illuminating "Cicely"... and there is a slightly haunting melodic tune going over the top as we see the reaction on the faces of the towns people.... who being Alaska haven't seen the sunlight for weeks. Beautiful TV just absolutely beautiful.... Hmmm.

I'm a new recruit, actually, my entire house is. The only thing that's been on our TV for 2 weeks is Firefly... It's fantastic.
And yes, I am like that with music, if it's not the Beatles I get bored.
Cry baby cry, make your mother sigh...
