Obsessed by a TV show which appealed to your Asperger's?

Post Reply New Topic

Codename: Kids Next Door. It was like a mirror of the imaginary worlds that I used to play in. Strangely, I identified more with the Delightful Children from Down the Lane more than I did with the Kids Next Door. I seem to like hive mind characters. For a while, I was also obsessed with the Borg from Star Trek and the Borahk from the Bionicle saga.

-Monk, because I wished I could find a niche for myself and feel that the people around me knew how best to support me, as he had

-Ed, Edd and Eddy, I love Edd and although I don't think he has an ASD, his related traits are easy to relate to

-Star Trek TNG, for the sense of community. Also Deanna Troy (the empath) became a special interest

Dr. Who
Star trek, all of them except DS9
Stargate all of them,
mythbusters
Hitchhikers guide to the galaxy (mini series came on after Dr. Who on PBS) also read all the books..

and yes.. at 40 years old, i'm addicted to Spongebob...

If we are talking Aspergers specific, then I suppose Sherlock Holmes TV series and films, which I was obsessed with, and Star Trek, largely because of Spock, who I most identified with.

I later found out that these two characters are often very appealing to Aspies, for obvious reasons.

I love the show Dexter, and find the main character very relatable. Not because he likes to kill people, but because he spends most of his time pretending to act normal.

HOUSE!! i know House isn't an aspie, but i still feel like i can relate to him on some level.

Im showing my age here but I remember that I identified with this.

The Littlest Hobo

All three productions centered around a stray German Shepherd who wanders from town to town, helping people in need. Although the concept was similar to that of Lassie, the Littlest Hobo did not have an owner, and despite the attempts of the many people whom he helped to adopt him, he appeared to prefer to be on his own, and would head off by himself at the end of each episode.

The Big Bang Theory

Freaks & Geeks

House

Grey's Anatomy

Dexter

Nurse Jackie

The Big C

Battlestar Galactica

Seinfeld (Kramer's character, lol)

Everybody Loves Raymond (Robert)

When I was a teenager, I obsessed over "The Highlander" TV show. I saw a complex and in depth mythology in it. I wanted to see every episode they ever made. So for a few years, I watched reruns in syndication every day. Today I think it's a bit lame but back then, I lived and died for that show.

When I was younger I was Obsessed with National Velvet (The TV show ) then I liked The Brady Bunch later Bewitched & I dream of Jeannie(I prefer Bewicthed of the two of them now)
I did watch cartoons and got up early in the morning to watch them.

Monk, House, The Mentalist, CSI (Original and NY), Quantum Leap, Farscape, Dr Who, University Challenge and Horizon

Kick Buttowski and Fanboy And Chum Chum because of their obsessiveness.

House and Lie To Me because of the character with seemingly no filter.

As a child I was obsessed with Dr Who and The Avengers.

I'm more obsessed with films these days.

The Adrian Mole programmes and books, when they were popular.

big bang theory and dexter!
