View Full Version : Shows you regret not watching from the start?
Janice 02-17-2006, 05:34 PM I just started watching 24 this season, and I'm mad at myself for not watching the previous seasons. My husband's been watching it all along. I should have listened to him when he told me that I was missing a great show.
I completely screwed up with Lost. We started watching Season 1 on DVD when Season 2 had already started. Now, it's too late to jump on board, and we have to wait until Season 2 comes out on DVD. This means I have to avoid all spoilers, promos, etc.
Has this ever happened to you...got into a show and regretted not watching it from the start?
dlemond 02-17-2006, 05:46 PM Farscape is one show I didn't start watching until the fourth season- which turned out to be its last.
There was so much water under the bridge that I kept watching repeats to try and piece everything together.
Janice 02-17-2006, 06:10 PM I caught Ally McBeal and The Practice during the second season. That wasn't so bad, and fairly easy to catch in reruns.
Ireneparalegal 02-17-2006, 06:28 PM The Drew Carey Show. I caught it in it's third season. I only started watching it when there was nothing else to watch. Man, I love that show now. I had to watch the reruns just to see what I missed.
King of Queens, same thing, I love that show, I started watching it in it's second season.

Good luck. You miss a few epsisodes of that show and you are lost!
I've heard a lot of my friends talking about "Boston Legal," and I wish I got in on that show in the beginning, especially since it stars one of my favorites William Shatner.

Wait until you see season 2 of Lost. I like it better than season 1. :D :lol:
I regret not watching The A-Team from the beginning. It was one of my favorite shows but I didn't start watching it in primetime until season 4 and it was almost over. Luckily I caught up with it in syndication and now I have the first 2 seasons on DVD.

My husband and I watched Season 1 in three nights - 24 episodes. We were up to 3 am three nights in a row. :lol:
It was a lot of fun. Great show!
snl 70s show fan 02-17-2006, 08:16 PM that 70s show i only started watching it on a reglaur basis a few seasons ago and i sure wish i had watched it from the start also i never watched 8 simple rules in first run but ive seen a few reruns and it its very cute and funny
treky 02-18-2006, 02:09 AM "Lost"
"Boston Legal"
And this is some-what off topic, but my sister and brother always watch "The Daily Show" and RAVE about it, and how funny it is. In fact, my brother tapes it if he's not going to be home.
, I've tried watching it but I could never get into it.

comedyfreak 02-19-2006, 09:27 PM double post sorry, stupid computer is slow.
comedyfreak 02-19-2006, 09:28 PM Boston Legal-Missed the first season, tuned in on the new night Tuesdays at 10pm and I love it. Perfect mix of comedy, drama, and character chemistry.
Grey's Anatomy-Seen a couple of episodes not from the beginning sort of in the middle of the season, didn't catch all of them wished I would have.
Brian 02-20-2006, 01:41 AM One of them is Monk. My father has been watching it almost from the beginning and I didn't start getting into it until a couple of weeks ago, when I was at my grandmother's. She had the first season and I watched the first two discs. Now I am renting the show on Netflix.
Another one is Medium. I tried watching it when it started but my DVR was getting overloaded so I had to sacrifice some episodes of shows and that included Medium. When the DVD comes out, I'll catch up on it.
A third is Buffy the Vampire Slayer. The show was over when I finally got interested in it. I've seen the first two and a half seasons on DVD and all of seasons 5, 6, and 7 since then.
slackermonkey 02-26-2006, 08:34 PM "Scrubs" - I love how easily this show blends quirky, random, almost broad humor with genuinely poignant drama. It's also extremely realistic in how the doctors' emotions and reactions to things are portrayed.
"Arrested Development" - Hands down the funniest, most clever sitcom I've ever seen. Even better, no matter how flawed and twisted each of these characters are, they remain completely likeable, which gives it an edge over "Seinfeld" (which I also loved, but I couldn't become invested in any of the characters).
