Except for some exceptions (The Twilight Zone, I Love Lucy, The Honeymooners, Gomer Pyle, U.S.M.C., Sanford & Son, Happy Days, Mama's Family, Quantum Leap, Are You Afraid of the Dark?, Goosebumps, Fear Factor)- I watched all the rest of those shows in their original runs. And they are all great shows- (well, except for Fear Factor and Goosebumps and Are You Afraid of the Dark?- I don't care for those shows.)
Quantum Leap is one show that I somehow totally missed on TV in its original run. I actually got into that show because of being a fan of "Early Edition"- and I ran across a great crossover fanfiction story with both shows- and that got me interested in checking out QL more- and since then, I went back and watched the entire series when it aired on The SCIFI Channel (back when it played cool shows like that). And now I love that series and have also read all the original books based on the show and comic books as well.:) :cool:

The shows that I never watched during their original run but now watch as reruns are Frasier, George Lopez, Mad About You, Friends (caught it towards the end), Party Of Five, The Nanny, That 70's Show and of course all the classics from the 50's and 60's since I wasn't born yet!:lol:

I was born in 1976 so naturally I discovered Gilligan's Island, The Munsters and the 60's Batman via reruns.

Later in the mid 80's through the wonders of VCR technology I recorded Three's Company, Diff'rent Strokes reruns.

Seinfeld especially I discovered it through reruns when it ending on NBC.

Too many to list. As a kid I watched lots of shows that were from before my time but aired after school in re runs.

Most of the hit shows from the 1950's and 1960's.

Everybody Loves Raymond. Not sure why I missed it the first time. My mom used to watch it. Mind you I was discovering this new thing called the Internet.

I've seen 2/3 of original-recipe Trek; I've been on the fence about getting the final season, but I'd like to complete that series.

I you could say the "Jeff" and "Timmy" episodes of Lassie were the first ones I saw in reruns. (I didn't even know they were part of a larger series until the advent of the internet)! In the Detroit area there were never any changes of masters for the dog (Jeff to Timmy, then Timmy to the Rangers because the syndicators LET OUT the seasons containing these transfers (Season 4 for Jeff to Timmy, Season 11 for Timmy to the Rangers). :confused:
