Day 28 – First television show obsession

Well, while Veronica Mars was the show that defined fandom for me, I think my first television show obsession was with Roswell. After all, it led me to Crashdown.com, which at the time was hosted by Fan Forum. This was the first show where I had talked to people from the Internet about our common love. I mostly stayed on the outskirts, but there was some definite bonding (I came along the summer between seasons 2 and 3, so between the switchover of the show airing on WB and UPN… I didn’t have UPN and thought the show was ending). I’m still on that message board community today. This July, I’ll be coming up on my 9th year anniversary. How wild is that?

And that, everyone, is why Roswell is my first television show obsession. But I guess you could also argue Life Goes On based on a certain video of 4-year-old me blabbing about the show and Corky Thatcher.
