Not many for me here, well some of the older shows I like I guess.

I've been enjoying "CHiPs," but my mother and father don't really see the appeal of it. It appeals to me because of its setting (the highways of the downtown L.A. area), and because of format (the daily adventures of two CHP motorcycle cops in and around that area). I've loved it enough to see two seasons' worth of it, and if Warner Bros. would release #3, I'd very possibly purchase it.

American Dad. The unnecessary negativity that show gets is appalling.

Step By Step. During its run, everyone obsessed over fellow ABC shows "Full House" and "Family Matters."

My friends dont see how shows like Bewitched, Leave It To Beaver, My Three Sons and several shows from that era. Maybe its a generation thing.

I always enjoyed The Dukes Of Hazzard. It was widely panned because of "simplistic storylines". I always found the closeness of family and spirituality on the show to be appealing.

Well, everything, technically. But I know Hogan's Heroes gets a lot of flack (much of which is asinine and uneducated).

Ditto. That and Perfect Strangers (well, my dad is the only one I know of who doesn't like PS). Those are two shows that are just plain FUN to watch. Good, clean fun. How many shows can you say that about these days?

I loved Back to you and George Lopez, while my family could not see why.

'Til Death - I love this show, but no one I know seems to like it, except for one person. However, they've ditched it since the Woodcocks left. And of course online this show is constantly being bashed. It's rare to go somewhere and find a nice thing to be said about the show.

Saved by the Bell: The New Class - Another show I like, but no one else seems to, with the exception of a couple others online. And there's one person I know who likes it. But the majority of people I meet (in person or online) hate the show.

I used to love it during its original run. I missed the last couple seasons of it, though. I haven't seen the show in years.

Actually, I started watching the show before Valerie came one- when she did join the cast it was an added bonus.

Contraire to popular belief, I always thought Gloria was a delightful addition.

Pro wrestling



Actually, Jim, while I am not a hunter and haven't been to a shooting range since I was a child, I enjoyed the Ted Nugent show VERY much. He is an incredibly intelligent, and actually a very empathetic human being. Just because he and I are not necessarily on the same side politically, doesn't mean that I don't agree with him about some other things, and I truly appreciate his reasoned approach to the conclusions he has made about life. I do understand and appreciate the appeal of this show, and of Mr. Nugent.

As for pro wrestling: who doesn't understand the appeal of the gladiator arena done as soap opera? This is soaps for guys. And that's what makes it fun.

American Idol- I guess either you like it or you don't.

Wings- The critics hated it, but I know a lot of people who liked it.
