How on earth could it not? 
I need to rewatch the commentary to TGG, I was trying to count exactly how many different sorts of laughs BC gives during it, but I lost track....

Series 1 DVD...hm... I think I have to send an overdue letter to my colleague.
I lent it out to him.  Well, how on earth could this happen??

If he hasn't already returned it, thanking you profusely for changing his life, you should definitely get it back. Obviously the man is a lost cause. 

I just lent out my Series 1 to a colleague of my husband's who expressed interest.  I'm now living in a state of  anxiety waiting for it to return to its mate (Series 2) and my loving protection.

You never know how people are going to react to this show.  My co-worker, who happens to be in her 70's, watched the show on PBS with her husband and really liked it.  We began discussing it a bit, and because I'm so obsessed, I was able to fill her in on details she had missed her first time through. I also began telling her about the wide world of Sherlock fandom  - and especially about all the German fans on this Forum because she's from Germany too  One day I dared to show her a Johnlock fan video on Youtube (during our lunch break, of course ) and wasn't sure how she would react to it.  OMG - she loved it!  Now in her spare time she searches Youtube for all the Johnlock videos.  I also pointed her to a gentle little Johnlock fan fic which she loved (now, if she wants to go further with those, that's up to her  ).  Good lord,  I've created a monster! .  Next step, getting her to join this Forum....

LOL  I just read "I also poisened her"... not so far away, eh? 

You are right - you never know. I wonder what my colleague might say when he finally watched it.
(I can't blame him that much, there was a trade fair in between and he was away for a week. But, yes, I MISS MY SEASON 1 !!!  )

you know you're obsessed with Sherlock when...
You want to become a chemist, just so you can play with chemicals and be like him
You are willing to go halfway around the world, just so you can be where Sherlock would have lived
You give up a lot of things you used to like just because you adore him so much
Your family is concerned with the amount of time you spend thinking about it
Your heart skips a beat every time you hear a British accent
You try reading people, even when you suck at it

I agree, if it's affecting your family you should definitely check out our intervention thread!

Not that we want the addiction to stop for one millisecond...

In place of family concern, I have friend concern...I'm trying very hard to get some of them interested but they just aren't biting. Thus, they do not understand my obsession.

Me, too. How can my friends not see what I see, I ask you.

You know you're obsessed with Sherlock when a couple of your good friends make fun of Sherlock's actor's name, as well as his looks, and it pisses you off. What are they, blind and stupid? Do they see, but not observe?  To think I used to *like* these people! heh

I do have one friend, however, whom I have converted, and we've had a great time squeeeeing together for the last three months or so. Great fun.

Hope you're better soon. Although, regarding the DVDs … and you still have to browse the Internet for a Sherlock shirt. I can recommend Redbubble.com.

Why do they sell such things in Germany? They look like something foreign tourists in London would pick up as a memento of their trip. No? Love them, though-- do. A lot. Hooray for the red, white and blue, as we say here in the States.  heh
