The notion of a television show that practically demands you keep watching it is here to stay. TV series are made to suck you in, and not just for advertiser dollars — buying the dvd boxsets means you can smash through those shows in a marathon of viewing. Check out these 5 crazily addictive ones.

#5 “Gossip Girl”

Following the machinations of these spoiled New York rich kids might seem strange at first, mainly because they’re such jerks and their private schools are so fancy. But when you have money and privilege and combine it with Manhattan and an insanely juicy plot-line, you’ve got the recipe for a show that’s as addictive as a hard drug. If you get the DVD boxsets, be prepared to stay in your house for many days.

#4 True Blood

The southern atmosphere and the civil-war era vampires, mixed with a great dose of sexiness and a little bit of Anne Rice-style craziness gives HBO viewers (and those of us following on DVD) a series we can’t seem to turn away from.

#3 Jersey Shore

It’s rare to find a reality show this compulsively watchable, but these semi-crazy people and their antics in a shorehouse for the summer make people absolutely keep watching. This is a TV series about crazy extroverts, a bunch of lions in a den all together, repeatedly exploding. You can’t stop.

#2 The Office

Talk about addictive — not only is this show hilarious in its send-up of corporate culture and office inefficiencies, it also amazingly inserted a wonderful romance that has its many, many fans clamoring for more. If you go through the show on DVD, you’ll really see how wonderfully it’s been done.

#1 Lost.

Lost has taken its lessons from the old serials of the 1950s: keep the audience wanting more, and you’ll get them hooked for the entire run. Possibly the most addictive show in history, Lost has hooked viewers around the entire globe, and is even worse when watched as a dvd boxset.
