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.

    • Google Gemini co-lead Noam Shazeer is leaving for OpenAI by Pradeep Viswanathan Noam Shazeer is best known as one of the co-authors of the 2017 “Attention Is All You Need” paper, which introduced the Transformer architecture that now powers most large language models. He also worked on several major Google AI projects, including LaMDA, before leaving the company in 2021 to co-found Character.AI. He also authored the Sparsely-gated Mixture of Experts (2016) paper, which is popular among the AI community. After falling behind OpenAI and Anthropic a couple of years ago, Google brought Shazeer back in 2024 as part of a major deal with Character.AI. Through this deal, along with Noam, several other researchers returned to Google DeepMind. More recently, he was a vice president of engineering at Google and a technical co-lead for Gemini. Today, Noam Shazeer announced on X that he is leaving Google and joining OpenAI. In his post, Shazeer said it was a difficult decision to move on, adding that he was proud of the Google team and what it had built together. OpenAI CEO Sam Altman welcomed the move with a post of his own, saying Shazeer was one of the people he had most wanted to work with since OpenAI’s early days. Google has made strong progress with Gemini over the past year, closing the gap with OpenAI in several areas. But losing Noam Shazeer is a major talent setback for them, especially after bringing him back less than two years ago by spending a fortune. For OpenAI, the hire adds one of the industry’s most experienced language model researchers to a team that is already pushing ahead with ChatGPT, Codex, and its next generation of frontier models.
