What shows did you initially hate and then warm up to?


Recommended Posts

Angel

Same here. At first, I didn't like it, but then after getting used to it and watching it for a while, I really liked it a lot. I even bought the DVDs. However, as time went on, people started making fun of me for watching it. So I eventually felt ashamed, stopped watching it, and sold my DVDs on Ebay. Why can't people just leave me alone and let me watch what I want to watch? This is why i don't watch anymore TV shows.

Boston Legal

Buffy

Star Trek : TNG ( I musta been retarded on my first few viewings)

Seinfeld (watched one ep, and thought, whats the point of this show)

Charmed

Two shows I could never understand when I was young were: Yes Minister and Cheers.

Now those two shows I love - I'll happily watch repeats :D

The show I hate the most, and still do is Crossing Jordan. How on earth can a person, who does nothing the whole episode, get a show named after her?

The second show I hate then and still hate today is Seinfield. It was an ok show that was over rated and flogged to death.

The worst show is 30 Rock - a prime example of a crap show which is praised by 'critics' and yet, hardly anyone watches.

South Park. I could not stand it at first, I unno, something about a talking piece of poo turned me off. But now, suprisingly, I watch it every day lol.

+1. I find that too disturbing :laugh:

Heroes

Same here. I saw a few episodes of season 1 and thought it was pretty mediocre, and then the more I watched season 1, the more I was hooked.

I never bothered with the Shield before. I didn't think it looked bad, didn't think it looked good. I watched season 1 and God was I missing out all these years.

Aqua Teen Hunger Force is another one. I thought only stoners would find it funny. Now not every episode is good, but it is't bad.

I still stand by late night adult swim being for stoners though. Except Shin Chan. Anyone can appreciate that shows awesomeness.
