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

From the top of my head... There's prolly more...

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

    • The Trump administration doesn't want you to use OpenAI's GPT-5.6 without its approval

      Stop asking people that. It's a "No True Scotsman" argument in that you are attempting to discredit the opinions of a person by Attacking the Messenger. The reason that these are logical fallacies is the TRUTH is based on facts as supported by evidence. Nothing else. So, always debate the facts with evidence to reach the truth. Once you learn to do this, you'll be able to recognize when people are fearmongering and lying to you for their own selfish ends.

      It doesn't matter if you didn't directly hear it from person X or Y. Every one of your statements comes straight from the racist, skinhead, anti-immigrant, be afraid of everything, "they are all taking our jobs", etc. etc. mouthpieces. That's where Farag and Putin heard it from too...and used it against the UK. So, while you keep disavowing the people who publicly peddled that position, you keep proving over and over again that those lies influenced you into being tricked when the Brexit vote came around too. In fact, your final sentence makes it crystal clear that it was the racist/anti-immigrant lies you fell and voted for, since you stated that you didn't have an issue with the economic trade issues with the EU. Ahem. To be clear, all of these LIES are EONS old, mate. They are the same fearmongering lies peddled to the same ignorant, gullible cowards by the same charlatans, snake-oil salesmen, and would be demagogues who've been doing this since caveman Ugh lied about his slightly different neighbor in order to steal his land. And, finally, you answered your own previous question. The reason that the EU isn't clamoring to bring the UK back is that they have had enough of people who would rather shoot themselves in the foot than get over their "insecurity issues". It's the same reason the entire world is moving away from the USA as fast as it can...
