The Brady Bunch, I was too young to catch it the first time.

Wings. Watched maybe a handful of episodes in it's original run, but when Nick at Nite began airing reruns of it, that's when I became a fan.

The "Jeff's Collie" and "Timmy and Lassie" Episodes of Lassie. Being one of those "young kids full of mush" I had no idea these were actually parts of entire series (I wouldn't find that out until after the advent of the internet). One of the things I commented about those two "versions" was "Look at those old heaps they're driving!" concerning the automobiles and trucks I saw on those shows. :lol: Not to add but there were four seasons of this show I'd never seen before (over 100 episodes), because whoever was in charge of syndicated this series LEFT THEM OUT! :angryfire. It wasn't until I was able to get the entire series from Y2K3 Joker was I able to see those "lost episodes" :cool:

Charmed, Judging Amy, some of the M*A*S*H*episodes (I was in college for some of them and had little time for TV in those days :crazy :crazy: ), Brooklyn Bridge, Hawaii Five-0, Route 66, Blue Bloods, The Wonder Years. Some others I started to watch, but realized there was a good reason I hadn't watched them in the first place - :wallbang

Those are all ones either from when I could have easily watched in primetime (watched competing shows) -- or when I worked 2nd shift, and missed pretty much everything...!

Fresh Prince of Bel-Air: Somehow completely missed it during its initial few seasons, I finally discovered this show when it entered local syndication in or around 1994-1995. I was able to see the final season and a half as it aired on NBC.

Designing Women: I recall watching an episode once or twice with my mom during its original run, but I didn't really fully discover it until it entered syndication on Lifetime. It quickly became my favorite show.

Blossom: Somehow I totally missed this show during its original run and only discovered it after it was off the air and in syndication.

Living Single: This is another show I didn't watch during its original run but discovered years later in syndication.
