Is there any show that REALLY interested you, but when you saw it, it didn't grab you the way some of your favorite shows did?

For me.... WINGS did that, I found the show funny, but I just couldn't get into it.

I know Cheers is a great show, but I just cannot get into it. Weird, because I love Frasier, but I didn't even watch Cheers when Kelsey was on.

Raymond's OK, but I find myself not watching it all the time. I've heard people say they love it, including my sister. I guess the reason I don't watch the whole episode sometimes is because I don't like the way they treat each other, especially Debra towards Ray.

"The King of Queens"-it's a funny show, but, I don't know, I just can't get into it for some reason.

"Late Night with Conan O'Brian"-same thing. I've tried watching it, but I jut don't see why people think it's so funny. Must be just me, though, cause my sister & my mother say it's hilarious.

For me it is the following:

The Beverly Hillbillies
Boy Meets World (all it is is a ripoff of The Wonder Years if you ask me)
The Cosby Show
Dr. Quinn, Medicine Woman
I Dream of Jeannie
I Love Lucy
Little House on the Prairie

And, to an extent, Happy Days. It is nowhere near as interesting as its spinoff Laverne and Shirley. The plots of L&S were more followable than their HD counterparts. I have a hard time remembering the plots of The Andy Griffith Show as well, even though I've seen roughly half of the episodes.

I tried like hell to get into Cheers and FOL, but I just can't do it.

Most ABC shows i've flipped on numerous times and found funny but never really got into:

8 Simple Rules...
According to Jim
Less than Perfect
George Lopez

...I've haven't really been into ABC since the 80s when I was young.

8 Simple Rules and ATJ I've seen once, and they were okay, but they weren't anything I'd tune in numerous times to see. BUt George Lopez I like. I find that one very funny.

I have also tried to watch this show, but I could never really get into it. Sometimes it was funny but it just wasn't working for me.

Futurama- I'm a HUGE Simpsons fan and I realy wanted to like Futurama too, but it just didn't interest me at all.

Frasier- I love Wings and Cheers, but never did like Frasier too much.

Everybody Loves Raymond - I've seen Ray Romano's stand-up so I thought for sure I'd be able to enjoy his show.. never happened.

Becker - I loved Ted Danson on Cheers, and just as an actor in general, but his show has never been able to hold my attention.

Ed- I watched the series premeire back in the day because critics were really loving this show but never found it to be real interesting.

Road Rules-the creators also did the Real World so I thought it would be good. Never got that could for me.
