I can identify with this. I was completely obsessed with Showtime's groundbreaking series Queer As Folk, and after the series went off the air after five years, I felt as if I had lost a dear friend (actually, several friends, as, like many fans, I felt the ensemble cast of characters were "friends" of mine). I recently re-watched all five seasons on DVD, and experienced the same sense of loss. In reading posts from other fans of the show (and like you, I gravitated to web sites to read everything I could about the show), I found that many other viewers felt the same. Side note: I, too, suffer from a chronic illness which forced me into early retirement, and I keenly miss the social interaction of the workplace.
