If we study this fine female specimen closely we will see that her tv viewing habits change with the changes of the seasons. In the summer months television viewing is curtailed for more pleasant activities like beach walks, organised sport, bbqs and socialising with other members of the tribe. In the cooler months this female tends to stay inside her cosy habitat and spend more time communing with other species in the form of television characters.
During these somewhat cold and chilly months television viewing becomes a staple part of her daily diet and without it she becomes edgy and noticeably agitated. This is further acerbated when favourite programs go on hiatus for weeks at a time. This can often lead the subject to watch reruns and dvds of past series and episodes.
It is interesting to note in this case, that not all the television viewing occurs on the free to air service provided to all households. This tv addict watches the majority of her television on her computer!!! This is somewhat of a rarity for these parts of the country. Not many inhabitants of the region have the technology, the skills or the know how to be able to do this. This sets this particular female apart from the rest of her peers.
Interestingly, the viewing habits of this particular female are also quite unusual for some one of her age and maturity. Close study has revealed she does tend toward the traditional medical shows, cooking programs, crime shows and reality tv. However, diving deeper into her hard drive we also find many comedic, and often over looked programs - Community, Parks and Recreation, Eastbound and Down, The Soup..... to name a few. This female has indicated that the male species in a show is often the catalyst for a first viewing, and if he meets her high standards then continued viewing is guaranteed. Examples of these male members of the species include Joel McHale, Rob Lowe, Patrick Dempsey, Eric Dane, Tim Daly, Taye Diggs, David Boreanz, Nathan Fillion, and oddly, Donald Trump!!
There is however one exemption to this. This subject did admit to watching one program solely for the female in the series. She stated that although the program no longer interested her greatly as it appears to have fallen victim to poor writing, she continues to watch. When asked to identify the show and the female in particular, she responded by directing us to her Youtube Channel. Again, this was highly unexpected as most subjects of this age and maturity, in this region do not purport to even have knowledge of such things, let alone have their own channel!.
Once we located the Youtube channel and perused the videos we quickly ascertained that this subject had fallen victim to Katewalshitis. This is a common affliction amongst the female population. The worst cases have been known to stalk the actress through social media sites such as Twitter and Facebook, will often have bookmarked various fansites in their web browser and will have photos of the actress as their screensavers and desk top. Unfortunately, our subject had one of the worst cases of Katewalshitis we had seen in a very long time. Not only did she have all these listed previously (with a particualrly breautiful photo of Ms Walsh and a sea turtle as her desk top) but she had a twitter account dedicated to stalking Ms Walsh's every tweet. She had also attempted to engage the actress in conversation by tweeting her regularly. She was surprisingly, somewhat successful at this. This subject also "liked" Ms Walsh's facebook page, had bookmarked 7 different fan sites and was a daily visitor to Katewalsh.com, Ms Walsh's website, often leaving comments and asking questions. At this point in our study we became concerned for our subject and proceeded to check her hard drive for any further signs of the progression of this insidious disease. Imagine our shock to discover over 2000 photos, several videos of interviews and public appearances, books narrated by Ms Walsh, every movie Ms Walsh has acted in, including the strange indie film Three Below Zero, many fan videos favourited on youtube, and EVERY episode of Grey' sAnatomy and Private Practice stored on the pc and in DVD format.
What had began as a simple study into the television viewing habits of a normal 43 yo female had become an intervention! For without intervention this subject was in grave danger of thinking she was actually a part of Ms Walsh's life, that she was a friend and confidant! When in reality, Ms Walsh had no idea of the existence of our subject. The battle is continiung today to assist our subject as she comes to terms with this shocking news. Our last conversation ended with, "but she tweeted me yesterday..." Yes we have along road ahead for rehabilitation, but we feel we will succeed. The subject did say that the she would quit The Walsh, as the fans endearingly call her, if we could get Rob Lowe to marry her.......
