Here's my list: (I'd appreciate feedback!)
M*A*S*H
Dennis the Menace (I do like it, it just gets old after awhile.)
Gomer Pyle, U.S.M.C.
Green Acres
The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air
Full House
The Cosby Show
Everybody Loves Raymond

I already am going to give "ALF" another shot (after I saw the series finale in like 2008 I swore off the series.) I also want to give "Step by Step" a shot but I don't know how. I'd also like to give "Growing Pains" a shot. Lol I know a lot but, what do you think?

I really don't care for any of those shows you listed except for GREEN ACRES and GROWING PAINS, so I don't have any recommendations.

For sure, give GREEN ACRES another chance! It's pure genius!

DENNIS THE MENACE, ALF, STEP BY STEP, & FULL HOUSE are also great shows.

As for me, there's really not any shows I'd give another chance to except for maybe MCHALE'S NAVY. I've not really seen enough of it to say I completely dislike it.

I have seen a couple episodes and I think that it's kind of bland. I saw it in Antenna. I may give it another chance but I am not really sure. Yeah, I like "Petticoat Junction" and "Beverly Hillbillies" but one year I watched a BUNCH of "Green Acres" and got tired of it. I think I'd like it now.

I'm glad METV has Diagnosis Murder in it's line up now! It's on the same time as Green Acres though! I wish it would come on at 7PM after Mama's family. That would be perfect for me! ;)

I also love "Freaks and Geeks" although I consider it more of a dramedy.

I've also tried "Little House on the Prairie" several times and yet I cannot seem to get into it. Different tastes for different folks, I guess.

Well, what are some shows you don't really care for?

There are plenty of shows that I don't care for but these are some of the sitcoms that I absolutely LOATHE...

Everybody Hates Chris
Hannah Montana
How I Met Your Mother
My Name Is Earl
The Office
Sex and the City
30 Rock
Two and a Half Men
Arrested Development
The Big Bang Theory
The Simpsons
Curb Your Enthusiasm
Family Guy
The Last Man on Earth
Modern Family
South Park
The Jamie Foxx Show
The Wayans Bros.
M*A*S*H
Hogan's Heroes

You couldn't pay me enough to sit through an entire episode of any of these sitcoms.

As far as dramas go, I have a lot of them I don't like, too. Most of the dramas I don't like are recent ones.

I'm going to check these out for the first time/re-check these out after years of not seeing them:
M*A*S*H -- I really liked the series finale when I saw it on MeTV! I have yet to see a full episode though. Maybe when/if I see an episode and I like it, I'll buy it. It seems like I'll like it though. Initially I didn't think so.
Seinfeld -- My grandma really loves this show and thinks it's great. I might just like it. I'm not aiming to love the show, I'm aiming to think it's alright.
Dennis the Menace -- I watched a lot of this show two years ago so I've kind of lost interest in it. I will re-check it out someday though.
Gomer Pyle, U.S.M.C. -- Still not 100% about this show, but I will check it out probably via DVD since Me-TV shows it extremely early. Not sure though.
Step by Step -- Originally I thought this show would be really stupid. Mind you guys, I still haven't seen an episode yet. But I might buy the TV favorites eventually though or check it out via the library.
Full House -- I never, ever wanted to see this show because my friends loved it and I didn't want to love it. I will check it out someday.
The Cosby Show -- Again, I saw some episodes and thought it was boring and unfunny but I feel like I probably didn't give it a fair chance. That was a few years ago. I'll try it out again this summer.
ALF -- Again, I swore this show off after 2008 or whenever when I last saw it and thought it was extremely childish. I will buy the complete series or whatever comes first for me.
Growing Pains -- I'm not really sure what turned me off to this show. I will check it out someday. I want to now.
Green Acres -- I saw a lot of this show two years ago and then thought it was really stupid but I think I just needed time off from it. Now I think it's a good show with a talented cast.

I've recently changed my mind about "Friends", "The Fresh Prince of Bel Air" and "Everybody Loves Raymond". I may change my mind. I'm not sure.

Wow. Going through this list, I like all the shows I listed on the first page including giving a few more a chance and I like them now too. Mainly The Nanny, which I used to absolutely hate, but I actually kind of like now. There are a couple others I tried in the last year or so, and discovered I liked them instead of dislike.
