You know you've watched too much Bravo T.V. when you're 3 1/2 year old says "Mom, you look fabulous," and "One day you're in, next day you're out."
How about anyone else? Fill in the blanks with your examples of signs you're watching too much of something?

...ER because I usually know what's wrong with people on the show just by their symptoms.
..Family Guy because I quote Stewie in most of my emails.

Jeopardy, when my one and a half year old son runs in from the other room when he hears the music and applause cue for a daily double...he really likes to clap along with the daily double.

I've been watching too much of The Closer when I start ordering people around with a little bit of a drawl. It's not nearly as charming coming from me even though I said "please".
Buffy - My conversations are littered with phrases from the show. Most people are not so Buffy-literate anymore but my hubby will laugh appropriately.

Bravo in the UK is pretty much the televisual equivalent of a "lad's mag" i.e. cars, gadgets, t&a .

Yeah, definitely the one unklesam linked to. I'm not sure where the "fabulous" part came from, because we don't catch much "Queer Eye", but the "one day you're in..." is from Project Runway.

You know you're watching too much House, M.D. when you dream about Vicodin. To be fair, I was seriously in pain when that happened. But I'm allergic to Vicodin and against narcotic painkillers (for me, not in general. My mother's a pillpopper and I don't want to go her route), so seriously, what gives?

You know you've watched too much Supernanny when your child misbehaves and you find yourself "dropping down to their level", fixing your face into steel and hissing "This level of chaoticness is un-ass-eptable behaviour."
You know you've watched too much Simpsons when your child misbehaves and you are so knackered that all you can manage is a Marge-style "Hnnngh?!"

All of which are pale and wan compared to the glowing light that was Red Dwarf and "Smeg!" Great fun till I learned what smegma was, and all the more amusing thereafter.

You know you've watched too much Father Ted when you grab the mic on Karaoke night and sing 'My Lovely Horse' with your best friend (including the 'hang on I can get this bit' and fake guitar noise/ actions).
We did get a sympathy clap though.

You know you've watched too much Babylon 5 when you've barely gotten any sleep because you're so completely consumed with thoughts of what's going to happen, who's going to die (and how! and when!), and what it all means.
Or perhaps I just haven't watched enough yet...but 6 episodes a day is all my poor little brain can handle.

Too much Law & Order when your 6 year old and 2 year old hum the theme along with the show. Oh yeah they also sing the theme to Another World (a soap no longer on the air except the old episodes on SoapNet and the theme they are singing is from the late 80's early 90's). American Idol when your 6 year old keeps asking when Clay or Bo are going to be on. Enterprise when the theme comes on and your 2 and 6 year old2 run into the room to sing and dance to it. *thinks* Oh yeah and E.R. for the same theme reasons. We also say "Frack" in this house some and I still say "Smeg" upon occasion. Of course if anyone says "I did it" in this house Dora the Exploerer music is sung. We also know just about every song from The Backyardigans.
Hmmm, maybe there's too much tv watching in my house.

Too many home improvement shows with the kidlets...
When my four-year-old sees a Home Depot sign and says, "You can build it, we can help"...
And when the car pulls up to a stop - and my two eldest and I discuss what would go into renovating the nearest crap-house.
