If you mean the kind of obsession where you talk about it with other people excitedly the morning after, the my answer must be Moonlighting. That show was it when it first started. We talked about it, we quoted it, we speculated on when Maddy and David were gonna get together, we followed the media coverage, etc. If you hadn't seen it, you were out in the cold.
Day 29 - Current TV show obsession
Day 30 - Saddest character death

At some point, I really am going to do a post about my current band of the moment, The Gaslight Anthem, but for now, just know that I am bending all my mental energy to convincing one of the many talented vidders I know to make a Sam and Dean vid to their song Orphans. It's one of the few times I've really truly wished for the ability to make a vid, because it's so fucking perfect.
The chorus goes like this:
And the lonesome understand with the choirs in my head
We were orphans before we were ever the sons of regret, my baby
On and on and on, how the alphabet boys carry on
And we were orphans before we were ever the sons in the songs
(I figure the angels and demons are the alphabet boys.)
The first verse is clearly Dean:
Goodbye, circus wheel, maybe you rest along the seas
I have given you the fire of my youth and the triumph of my enemies
And goodbye, fair weather home and your faithless factories
I have given you the blood and the truth from the wounds that they laid on me
And whatever they left, I kept it for my own heart
The second verse is obviously Sam:
And now my lights, they never go down, they waltz the moon and the stars for me now
So you can find some local libertine to take your daughters out on the town
And I can feel it in my aging bones, how the sound of the rain mixes up
Into the fountains where I drank my hero's blood
And so I left you to find my very own hat full of rain
and the rest of it is both of them. Especially this:
When we were young we were diamond Sinatras
Like something I saw in a dream
We kept our secrets and rules locked up tight like a tomb
I mean, a lot of the Gaslight Anthem songs make me think of Sam and Dean - mostly Dean - but the first time I heard this, right from that second line about the fire of my youth and the triumph of my enemies, I was like, DEAN! And then the chorus kicked in and I was like, BOYS!
So someone should get on that. I'm just sayin'.
Also, since I was uploading, have American Slang and The Spirit of Jazz

Orphans
(the Gaslight Anthem)
Goodbye, circus wheel, maybe you rest along the seas

And whatever they left, I kept it for my own heart

And the lonesome understand with the choirs in my head
That we were orphans before we were ever the sons of regret, my baby
On and on and on, how the alphabet boys carry on
And we were orphans before we were ever the sons in the songs
And now I'm trying to keep it straight, learning all the streets and the alleyways
And learning where they lead now that I'm left alone here to drive
But it's so hard to stand on your own against mirrored glass hot and cold
But the clothes I wore just don't fit my soul anymore
No, the clothes I wore just don't fit my soul anymore
And the lonesome understand with the choirs in my head
We were orphans before we were ever the sons of regret, my baby
On and on and on, how the alphabet boys carry on
And we were orphans before we were ever the sons of your songs
When we were young we were diamond Sinatras
Like something I saw in a dream
We kept our secrets and rules locked up tight like a tomb
Where the ballerinas lay
