I can only think of two --

The Dick Van Dyke Show
and
The Odd Couple


Ive never heard anybody ever say they really hated those series.
But thats all I can come up with.... got any else??

Speak up if you dont like any of the series mentioned.

Other shows I just thought of....
Carol Burnett & Friends
The Golden Girls
Three's Company

I don't like Three's Company at all.

I would say "I Love Lucy" is a sitcom that's not on anyone's hate list.

It's a classic. It was pretty funny. It invented the "three camera" sitcom format that is the standard for today.

I don't really care for The Golden Girls but I wouldn't say I hate it. It just isn't something I've ever been interested in.

I've heard people say they don't like Three's Company but I've never heard them say:


I HATE Three's Company!

or

Three's Company is the worst show to EVER air on TV.

or

Everyone associated with Three's Company should burn in hell!



Like I've heard people say about other shows.

I don't care for The Odd Couple that much. It's my least favorite Garry Marshall sitcom.

The Andy Griffith Show, I think, is generally liked all the time. I hardly find anyone who doesn't like this show.

I don't despise this but I don't care for it either. Don Knotts was the only remarkable thing about it to me. Mayberry RFD is actually a bit more watchable than AGS.

The Andy Griffith show is the 2nd worst sitcom ever IMO (#1 being The Bev. Hillbillies). I kind of like Mayberry RFD though but overall, rural sitcoms aren't my thing.

I don't have anything against The Andy Griffith Show, it just does not hold my attention at all. It is just way too boring for me.

so that leaves....

Carol Burnett & Friends
The Dick Van Dyke Show
The Odd Couple
and I Love Lucy


any more??

All the sitcoms in the 60's were boring

I understand where you're coming from.
But I think you should give The Dick Van Dyke Show a chance, its the best sitcom of the decade, because it doesnt "feel" like the decade.
Its timeless and undated.

I disagree completey. The 1960's, I think, was the best decade for shows. Let's see you had: The Adventures of Ozzie & Harriet, Make Room For Daddy, Father Knows Best, Leave It To Beaver, The Donna Reed Show, Dennis the Menace, Bonanza, My Three Sons, The Andy Griffith Show, Mister Ed, The Dick Van Dyke Show, The Beverly Hillbillies, The Lucy Show, My Favorite Martian, Petticoat Junction, The Patty Duke Show, Gomer Pyle, Bewitched, The Munsters, The Addams Family, I Dream of Jeannie, Green Acres, Get Smart, Gidget, Family Affair, The Monkees, The Flying Nun, Batman, Dragnet, Laugh-In, Here's Lucy, ect!
Quite entertaining, if you ask me.

I wouldnt necessarily call them boring, but for the most part they were very slow-paced.

I wouldn't say I HATE I Love Lucy, and I do respect it for its place in television history and its technical contribution to the sitcom format and TV in general, but I never liked the show. In fact, try as I might, I've never been able to endure sitting through an entire episode. I love TV and I love sitcoms but, for whatever reason, I've never loved Lucy. I don't know why.

I've never met anyone who truly hates the golden era (1974-1980) of Happy Days

You dislike I Love Lucy, huh? Have you tried to sit through watching her other shows such as The Lucy Show, Here's Lucy, ect.? Did you like 'em or dislike 'em as much if not more or less as ILL?

One reason some people may not like ILL (im definately not one of them) is that its in black-and-white.
Not saying that B&W shows suck (they definately dont)
but some people irritate their eyes by watching something with only 2 color variations.

Only Black and White Sitcom worth watching was the HoneyMooners

Does anybody hate Who's the Boss, or Growing Pains? How about Happy Days?

Boy Meets World ;) HA had to throw that one in their :lol:

Originally posted by TVShow Analyzer

I agree with you. I find most of them boring and as barwars88 said above "slow-paced." My mind just cannot take in information as slowly as is required for watching your average 60s show.

Most of these=boring. Even the ones that I can watch, like Leave it to Beaver, Mister Ed I still find boring compared to other decades. I used to watch My Three Son's and Family Affair a lot when TV Land first came on, but my tastes have been refined now and those shows wouldn't entertain me in the same way.

I forgot that i liked "That Girl". The was the only 60's sitcom I watched

Originally posted by LucyFan

I did watch her later shows, and I didn't dislike them as much. I think The Lucy Show (if that's the one with Viv and the three kids -- sort of a Kate & Allie precursor) was my least un-favorite.

I know she was a talented individual, and a pioneer who made huge contributions to the world of television, but I just never warmed up to her. Go figure.

For what it's worth, I know it has nothing to do with the B&W issue since I watched them all that way. (My parents' TV was a 15" B&W, so I never saw anything in color -- except occasionally at a relative's house -- until I moved out, in 1979.) Besides, I happen to like B&W. :)

You will find a considerable number of people who dislike family comedies in general. I love a good family comedy if it is good and well written. I like Growing Pains alot. And I can take the others on your list. But I do not like Happy Days at all.

That is wild. I don't mind saying that when TV Land first came on the air and they had That Girl on that I really enjoyed watching it. I haven't had the oppourtunity to watch it in years though, but I like it.

First of all, That's My Mama and What's Happening are not my Favorite sitcoms, and second I would watch BMW and GP but i just wouldn't hit the record button. Just something to watch.

I don't like Three's Company at all.

Well I don't like Family Ties @ all.I can't say I never tried to watch it

Lucy was the CHRISSY SNOW of the 1950's-LOL
It would be funny to hear Chrissy say "Jack,can I be in the show?" or Lucy snort

I dont record anything.
Im a DVD man myself.

Some people dislike family sitcoms in general -- so none of those would be "unhated".
And some people (sadly) throw off anything post-1979 as being crap.

And the 3 shows that have still gone unhated are all shows pre-79....
The Dick Van Dyke Show
Carol Burnett & Friends
The Odd Couple

The Lucy Show is my least favorite. That show generally annoys me to no end.

Well, it was better than Life With Lucy, but most shows are better than Life With Lucy.

I just can't get into Carol Burnett for some reason

BITE YOUR TONGUE! That's not true. Lucy Ricardo was a creative individual who used her wits to outsmart Ricky. If it wasn't for her wits, Lucy probably would have never been able to do that vitametavegamin commercial.

Chrissy Snow is often referred to as being "dumb", which Lucy Ricardo ain't.

Well considering all the times you have claimed that Good Times wasn't a spin-off when reality it is. And the times you posted totally random threads at the chit chat board which really weren't needed. I don't know, asked yourself and maybe for once you can figure it out.

I hated Growing Pains after they dropped B. J. Thomas' version of the theme song.

After I learned that Boy Meets World was a contemporary version of The Wonder Years I knew it had jumped the shark. :rolleyes: The 1960s and 1970s made The Wonder Years.

Speaking of The Wonder Years, I will nominate TWY as a show nobody hates. :)

I absolutely hate Happy Days.

Boy Meets World is NOTHING like the Wonder Years. :confused: the only similarity is that the two actors are brothers who starred in each show.

I've always considered The Wonder Years way better than Boy Meets World.

I feel the same way. I also feel that way about All in the Family, Seinfeld, and Friends. I don't argue their places in TV history, but I have never enjoyed watching those shows.
