There was only every 2 shows that I thought were just plain crap until I actually gave them a chance.

Beavis & Butthead - Looked so moronic... which it was but that was the point. I eventually liked it.

Farscape - looked like stupid puppets and people in dumb costumes, but then I decided to give it a try and rented the 1st season and got hooked. Now its among my top 3 sci-fi shows with battlestar galactica and Deep space nine (both of which I liked from the get go).

The Office (US). I watched the first season in one go with a friend and wasn't really feeling it. Then I saw the second season about a year later and fell in love with it. To this day I'm not a huge fan of the first season but I still love and watch the show religiously.

Scrubs. Initially, I only caught a couple episodes and thought the whole thing sucked. Eventually, I watched it more and more with a roomate who was in love with the show, and now I am addicted to it as well.

Also, since Ash mentioned it, I have to say Farscape as well. A friend showed it to me, and after the first couple episodes I found all the characters completely unlikeable and hated the show. My friend told me to keep watching though, and it definitely paid off. I absolutely love the show now. Can't wait for the new webisodes!

Dexter

I watched the first episode and didn't think much of it. Then about a year later when I had a broken wrist and couldn't work...I decided to watch it because I had nothing else to do. I ended up watching all of season 1 and half of season 2 (all that was out at the time) and loved every minute of it :)

Andromeda, I hated that show like you wouldn't believe. Until about half way into a season and I saw a few more of Lexa Diog's "features", that sold me.

Stargate SG-1 is the other way round. I loved that show, season 8/9/10 were so awful I cant even watch the original stuff

Battlestar Galactica, tho i cant really say i gave it a chance at all, once i seen starbuck was a woman i changed the channel. Big mistake, after hearing the buzz i eventualy went back and watched the mini series and loved it, then watched the rest and it only got better.

DS9 - but even now i still think the first season or 2 sucked badly, but it did improve.

Family Guy

B5 - the first series just seems like a load of 1 off episodes until you have seen the rest.

Lost.

I hated series 1, I thought it was totally stupid and I didn't care about the characters back stories at all. Come season 2, my girlfriend wanted me to download it because it was on TV in America much earlier than in the UK.

I watched just the first episode of the second season (having missed almost the entire first season). I was totally scpetical... then I was all like.. ohhh, a hatch. Whats in there? This Loche guy is interesting... etc etc :D

    • RollerCoaster Tycoon 3 and Voidwrought are free on the Epic Games Store

      By LoneWolfSL · Posted

      RollerCoaster Tycoon 3 and Voidwrought are free on the Epic Games Store by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe PC gamers can now jump in and grab two more games to keep this week, as the Epic Games Store's ever-present giveaway promotion has just gone through another refresh. Replacing last week's Citizen Sleeper and Robobeat offers, the store has brought in RollerCoaster Tycoon 3 Complete Edition and Voidwrought to keep. From the duo, Roller Coaster Tycoon 3: Complete Edition is an enhanced version of the classic title that was originally released in 2004. It comes with enhancements such as widescreen and 1080p resolution support, as well as increased compatibility with modern PC hardware. It also comes bundled with all the extra content from the Soaked! and Wild! expansion packs. "Control park finances, shops, services and staff to succeed in dozens of scenarios," reads the description. "Become a true tycoon and embark on your promising new career, or create your ideal park without money woes in sandbox mode. Satisfy your guests’ needs and keep your park running smoothly to succeed." If management is not your style, Voidwrought lands as a 2D action-platformer featuring hand-drawn cosmic horrors. The title touts tight platforming and close‑quarters combat, all brought together with a strong emphasis on mobility. "Descend below the star-scorched surface and explore the multidimensional depths below," says the studio Powersnake about the game. "Witness the corrupted revelry of the Court, lose yourself in the icy tunnels of the Old Waters, and discover the grim fate of the Abandoned Expedition." The RollerCoaster Tycoon 3 Complete Edition and Voidwrought giveaways are set to run until June 25 on the Epic Games Store, giving PC gamers seven days to claim the latest offer. Once this closes out, new freebies will take their place on the same day as always. Don't forget that mobile gamers can check out the Epic Game Store's weekly giveaways on Android and iOS to grab a freebie there as well.
