TV shows you watched during its first run but for some reason don't watch in reruns

[Ireneparalegal]

Are there any shows that you watched during its first run but for whatever reason, you can't get into again? Is there a show you can watch maybe once in a great while? Here are mine:


FRESH PRINCE -no brainer there...:lol:

FAMILY MATTERS - I can watch maybe five minutes of an episode, but that's it. It is not the same as it was during its first run.

MAMA'S FAMILY - There is only one episode I look forward to watching, but that's it for me.

HOME IMPROVEMENT - It was a great show to watch back then, but now, I can't even sit through a whole episode. Maybe if there was nothing at all to watch, I might watch it.

I know there is more...

Seinfeld... I lost interest in it not too long after it ended on NBC... maybe I'll gain some interest in it again someday

[Mikado]

Man, so many that I'll probably miss a few .... (I will stick to sitcoms only)

The Jeffersons- Stopped watching before the show ended, no interest in watching again

Bewitched- Seen it too often, might watch the Dick York shows again, but never the Sargent years

Gilligan's Island, Brady Bunch, Partridge family, Beverly Hillbillies, Green Acres, Pettitcoat Junction, Andy Griffith, Happy Days, Laverne & Shirley - I've simply outgrown them all

Sanford & Son, Chico & the Man- the whole "Cranky old man bitching thing"
got old

Welcome back Kotter- show is totally dated

Good Times, Sanford & Son, Mama's Family, The Golden Girls, & probably a few others. They were ok the first time around but I don't really want to watch them again.

[Mikado]

forgot 3s Company & Good Times (Neither of which i watched to the end of the original runs)

I can't think of one show I watched in it's original run that I don't watch in syndication. I guess you can say step by step but that's only because it's on at 2pm

The Fresh Prince of Bel Air
Punky Brewster
Kate and Allie
Martin
Hangin' With Mr. Cooper
Drew Carey
3rd Rock From the Sun
Spin City

Pretty much all the sitcoms I watched in the 90, except Full House and Saved by the Bell. I watched those a lot in reruns. But Fresh Prince, Blossom, all those TGIF shows...

I would probably check out Blossom again if it ever surfaces.

[Mikado]

more for the list:

Facts of life (outgrew it, obviously)
One Day at a time (Show is SO dated)
Alice (I was never a big fan, hate it now)
Diffrent Strokes (see FOL)
Patty Duke (Havent seen it in 30 years, am totally neutral about the show now)

I'm amazed at what I loved "way back when" that I now don't have the stomach for .....

[Tubehead]

[gotsmart]

Friends: The episodes are funny the first time around but do not have a lot of rewatchability for me.

The Dukes of Hazard
227
The A Team
Fresh Prince

I tried watching 227 when it was on but couldn't. I guess it has some episodes that are good, but overall, not rewatcheable.

[Stuck In The '70's]

I still have never seen the final episode of 227. Did they ever end that show right? :lol:

You're asking the wrong person. :lol: I can't remember. :lol:

You're asking the wrong person. :lol: I can't remember. :lol:
I watched most of that last season and then NBC pulled it and I never did catch it again and I was always a faithful watcher. I haven't seen many episodes in syndication either. :lol:

I was excited when TVland brought the show on its schedule but I only saw a handful of episodes before TVland yanked it off and moved it to once a week or some crazy ass schedule that made it impossible to watch. :crazy: But by then, the episodes I had watched, only a few were memorable.

I know. I tried watching it when it was on TV One but I couldn't get into it. The theme song is still catchy though.
