What shows have you grown to like in the last year, whether it be a new show or an old show you just discovered

here's mine:

WHO'S THE BOSS
--- I became a fan of this right after it debuted on N@N which was just over a year ago. Having never seen it before that, it hooked me and even though it's kinda corny and the acting's not great, I really enjoy it

MURPHY BROWN
--- I didn't watch it when it first came on in January (I'm too busy during the school year) but I've been taping a lot of it when it's on Wednesday overnights and I really enjoy it. The show is smart and funny and the cast is great

TWO AND A HALF MEN
--- I didn't watch it the first year or the first half of the second, but I started watching it this year after "Raymond" and found it refreshing to see a relatively new but still funny sitcom on the air. It gives the genre a little bit of hope

COACH
--- I rarely it on N@N, I can't imagine why since they played it to death (sarcasm), but on days I had to get up early, I've been catching it on USA and I've begun to enjoy it

I agree about Murphy Brown! I had never watched it before it came to N@N, and now I love it. It's a really smart, well-written show. I wish I'd given it a chance sooner.

Three's Company : It's been almost exactly a year :)

Family Guy : Just got in to it recently!

The 70's House (reality show): new interest as well ;)

THE AMAZING RACE

:New:

One Tree Hill: I've heard alot of great things about this show from tv to messageboards, so I decided to buy the show without even seeing it on TV... just to check it out, see if I like it or dont.. after I watched the pilot I become instantly hooked.. I could of watched the entire disc-set that same day if I wanted to.. But defiently my new favorite show of 05


C.S.I: Las Vegas: After looking at lot of tv websites, and messageboards.. seeing how it dominated in the ratings, and witness some bashing in the messageboards I wanted to check it out. See if the show lived up to the ratings it was getting and it sure did. I had my brother who works at Blockbuster rent me CSI and have enjoyed each disc Ive seen..

Smallville: After ABC cancelled Eyes, and 8 Simple Rules I was extremely depressed and I thought I wasnt going to watch great t.v in a long time. But when the new fall schedule came out and I was checking out the WB Fall Schedule and saw that Smallville is moving to a new night and time.. I started to check out reruns and enjoyed each show. It made me forgot about what ABC did and just enjoyed each episode I saw..

American Hot Rod

The Jeff Foxworthy Show (bought the dvd because of Jeff;s cheesy stand ups)

The Office
Yes, Dear

I also used to watch Who's The Boss? when i was younger but got back into it this year

Desperate Housewives
That 70's Show

Third Watch - the first three years are the best.
NYPD Blue - never watched a minute of it until February of this year and I've been sucking up the reruns ever since.

Who's The Boss? this past Fall/Winter after my grandmother died. I absolutely *llllooooovvve* this show!! It is so great! :D I think it is very sweet, very very funny and cute and of course has a Romance side too. And it's a really good "family/morals" type show. And unlike many of the shows today and even some back then, the two characters that are attracted to each other *never* "sleep" together throughout the entire Series. And you know what I mean by "sleep" together.

Also The Tony Danza Show. It's a talk show and I like Tony to begin with and it's one of the best ones out there. It has much variety and seems much more entertaining than the other talk shows, IMO.

I have also gone back to some old Classic Favorites that I have grown-up with. :D. But those are the two that I have become *new* to in the past year. :)

This is an easy one: "Everybody Loves Raymond." For some reason, my wife and I never made the effort to try it out and didn't care for the Raymond character when he appeared on "King of Queens." But we watched enough of the episodes to feel we could appreciate viewing the finale. And, after seeing that final episode, we thought that maybe we missed out on something pretty special. So we began watching the syndicated reruns and, boy, did we ever miss out on a great show! The situations ... the chemistry ... the writing ... the pathos ... the quirky characters ... We regret having let a decade go by without seeing "Raymond." But now we get to see what, for us, will be first-run episodes!

Joey
Will & Grace (I didnt become a fan until a little less than a year ago)
The Apprentice (didnt watch until the 3rd season)

Boston Legal (never missed an episode)
Lost (missed about half the episodes, looking forward to the DVD)

- The Daily Show with Jon Stewart

Full House
Family Matters
Step by Step
Growing Pains

Even though I did watch a little bit of TGIF when I was a little kid! :p

CSI: Las Vegas- I used to hate it just cuz it was popular and looked boring and gross, but now I think it's awesome. The best part is when they thorw in those funny little throw away lines...Gil usually has them.

Sabrina, the Teenage Witch- I watched it somewhat when it was on ABC, but stopped when it moved to WB. Now I'm totally hooked more than I ever was before.

I started watching MASH on Hallmark a few months ago and I've fallen in love with it. I'm really kicking myself hard for not watching it before.

M*A*S*H was always one of my favourites. I got tired of the reruns for a while, but went back watching and enjoying them again the past year.


Also, just discovered Family Guy - hiliarious!! Also like Extreme Home Makevoer and have grown to love The Apprentice and The Amazing Race.

Growing Pains... when this show started I wasn't even born yet, but now I watch it Monday-Friday after Full House

Yes, Dear... caught it one day on TBS and liked it, been watching it ever since

I was not a reality tv fan until the Apprentice aired. Since then, and my appreciation for reality tv is limited, I have become a fan of Hell's Kitchen, I Wanna Be A Hilton and American Idol. I also like the new show House and NYPD Blue reruns.

Ive started watching smallville this year and I've started to like boy mets world again.

One Tree Hill
Charmed
Lost
Joey
Eyes

Joey
Grey's Anatomy
Three's Company
The Mary Tyler Moore Show
Everybody Loves Raymond

I have also become a fan of Murphy Brown this past year and haven't missed taping an episode yet! ;) Even though I was much younger when most of the series was airing on CBS, I still remembered seeing "Birth 101," so when I noticed the marathon was on N@N this past January, I decided to watch that one, as well as "One" and the finale, to see Barry Manilow and Bette Midler guest-star. However, I found myself watching all of the episodes that surrounded these "key" ones, and I really liked them and felt that if I was writing a sitcom, THIS is how I would personally do it, so I bought the S1 DVD set and then watched on N@N from there and haven't turned back! ;) Like others have said, it is a smart, funny comedy!

Bewitched
The Nanny

Whos The Boss
Everybody Loves Raymond
Family Matters.

This year I saw these three shows for the first time and since I did, I love them.

One Tree Hill

Stacked

Good Times

Corner Gas: the best comedy in Canadian history and far better than ANY current American sitcom
Mythbusters: hated it the first 2 times i saw it, but now im watching all the eps i missed
Cash in the Attic: cute little auction show from Britain

Good Times
Wings

"Will & Grace" (I always get into the 'popular' sitcoms too late, but I enjoy this one for its broad humor, good for easy laughs)

"Joey" (started off good in its first few episodes, then got awful quickly, but redeemed itself by the second half of the season to the point where it's solidly funny)

"Committed" (since been cancelled, and while it didn't air long enough for me to become attached, it was a good way to pass some time while it lasted)

"Scrubs" (has quickly become one of my favorite sitcoms ever, for its characters and seamless blend of comedy and drama)

I have become a smallville fan this year. I started wacthing repeats on abc family and I loved them.

Malcolm in the Middle
Arrested Development
Taxi (I first saw it in December)

ALF and Night Court.

pat

Spin City I had never seen that show before this year.

Everybody Loves Raymond: I never watched it in first run episodes but lately I've watched it on my local channels and on TBS. It actually pretty funny.

Two and a Half Men: Just started watching it about 2 months ago. Just was flipping channels and found it to be funny.

Cold Case: Once again flipping channels and liked what I saw.

Arrested Development
Freaks and Geeks
Spaced (excellent British sitcom)
Father Ted (another British sitcom)
Battlestar Galactica
Sliders

Gilmore Girls - Before this spring I always saw this show as one of those teen dramas and I was never really interested in that genre of television. I'm glad I gave it a chance... I love it now. It's a lot smarter than I would have ever expected it to be.

Night Court - I saw this for the first time about 12 days ago and it's quickly becoming one of my favorite shows.
