The order comes after the fall premiere of Collection brought in 1.4 million viewers. It highlighted a group of different obsessives, including two Dolly Parton fans who hosted a visit from the country singer for a tour of their memorabilia.

My Crazy Obsession, premiering Wednesday, Mar. 7 at 10:00 p.m., kicks off with a couple that owns more than 5,000 Cabbage Patch Kids. The duo plan play dates and parties with like-minded collectors, often with their favorite Kid, Kevin, by their side. Another subject of the new series is obsessed with pink, causing her to give the color to most of her possessions -- including her dog.

Sharp Entertainment LLC is producing the series for TLC.
