On 'Obsessed!' (Mon., 10PM ET on A&E), Cindee's compulsive disorder isn't the most obvious. She exercises regularly. So what? Well, she must exercise every day, for three hours at a time. When instructed to do only a half-hour on the treadmill, her illness is clear.When asked what she's thinking, Cindee replies, "I need to go more, and I can't. Somebody's stopping me, and it kinda pisses me off." The symptoms she rattles off include "dry mouth, churning stomach, head rambling ... It's like I can't focus. My heart's beating; I can't control my hand," she says as it begins to shake.
The therapist says, "Cindee's anxiety was extremely high. It was above a 10 on a scale of zero to 10." Does she work through it and reach a state of calm?
Why We Watch: A&E's 'Intervention,' 'Hoarders' and Soon 'Obsessed,' Too?

In some ways, A&E has cornered the television market with reality documentary programs that deal with specific psychological ailments. You know the shows -- 'Intervention,' which deals with addictions and how they affect the individuals and the people in his/her life, and 'Hoarders,' which tackles the syndrome that has people unable to throw away objects to the extent that they are buried alive in debris. On Monday, June 28, A&E relaunches a show that's in a similar vein called 'Obsessed,' focusing on compulsive disorders.

Did you know that Bruce Willis was in the number one movie right now, Obsessed? Viewers of last night's Late Show with David Letterman didn't know it either. Thankfully, Willis brought along a clip!
(Willis also got bottles smashed on his head last night.)

ABC is looking for PVR addicts
by Brad Linder, posted Sep 19th 2007 2:00PM
Good Morning America Weekend Edition is looking for people who are obsessed with their personal video recorders. If you fill out a form with your PVR story, ABC might contact you to appear on the program to talk about your PVR use.It appears they're using a loose definition of the word "obsessed." For example, the website suggests "Perhaps, you record dozens of shows using DVR or TIVO." Because you know, you'd have to be insane to use your video recorder to actually record the shows you watch.
We're guessing if you really want to get on the show, you'll be better off submitting the story about that one time when your wife went into labor and on the way to the hospital you realized that you were going to miss a big football game, so you whipped out your phone and scheduled a recording online. Or better yet, you ran back into the house to set your recorder.
