Do we watch TV serials 'coz they are entertaining or are we addicted to watch them? ...And am specifically talking about 'serials' here, not 'reality shows'.

May be we start watching a particular show 'coz we liked it at that point. But doesn't this likeness soon turns into 'compulsion'/'addiction' to watch it? And then, doesn't the purpose of the tv show ceases to exist- that is to ''entertain''? 'coz we (very often) continue to watch it even if we don't like what is being shown.

So do we keep watching serials thinking that that 1/2 hour is our daily dose of ''entertainment'' ?
or have we become so addicted to watch it, that we don't watch it for entertainment but out of addiction?
I recenty discovered this show and the couple and lets say the rest is history.This is what i do most of my time although i have a professional job which im sure many of you do as well. So i came up with the below list. Lets see how many of you are addicts of this show.
1. I eagerly wait for updates everyday
2. I sleep late every night because im busy watching old episodes to catch up to current episodes
3. I spend most of my time reading news/posts of Parth and Niti, most importantly Parth
4. The tought of Ky2 ending makes me nervous and sad
5. I search the internet for any spoilers or updates in reference to the next episode
6. I drool over Manan aka pani and think they are the best looking couple
7. Defend this show no matter what happens!
8. wait for their offscreen iv and pictures
9. hate the weekends
10. thinking all the time about when we will see them next
11. discuss about them all 24 hours
12. enjoy the anniversary and look for any landmark of the show
13. and the list goes on endlessly
MAKE MIXES ON THEM SO KEEP WATCHING THEM ALL THE TIME AND DROOOL

SO whose an addict of KY2?
Please share your comments/thoughts
