hehe I'm notorious for criticizing a TV show without ever watching it. lol. The funniest example was with "Farscape", which is one of my favorite shows of all time, but for the first year or 2 that it was on, my dad and my brother used to watch it, and I'd just look at the TV and say "this show is stupid! why do you watch this?!" and I had never actually even watched it before. I just thought it looked stupid. and then my dad started getting the DVD's so i think one day I was bored, and I sat down and watched one of the season one episodes on DVD with my Dad. I was suddenly interested in the show, now that I actually gave it a chance! so i ended up watching a couple more episodes over the next few days, and then I was totally hooked!! I started watching the new episodes on Friday nights (i think they were into season 3), and then watching the earlier episdes on DVD at the same time. and it soon became my favorite show.
and then the same thing almost happened with "Alias". That's another one of my favorite shows. but when it premiered 2 years ago, I kept seeing the commercials for it, and the more i saw, the less I wanted to watch it. lol. then on the night of the 2-hour premeire, I almost didn't watch it, but my Dad was like, "come on! watch it with me!!" so i finally ended up watching it, and I actually really liked it, and now it's one of my favorite shows. hehe.
oh! and i just remembered another one- "Gilmore Girls". another one of my favorite shows. but for the first season it was on, i refused to watch it because i thought it was going to be like every other annoying teen drama on the WB channel. but then one day my best friend was over and she said "oh, we have to watch Gilmore Girls tonight!" and I was like, "uuhh, you watch that show?" and she was like, "it's good- you'll like it." so we watched it, and I liked it a lot. it's such a funny show. completely different than what i thought.
I'm surprised that I got into Wings as quickly as I did. Though, I remember when they were showing commercials for the Wings marathon on N@N, I remember thinking, "oh man, why do they have to put THAT show on for a whole week?!" lol. I hardly even remembered the show from its first run- all i remembered is that i watched it once in a while, and it never made much of an impression on me. but I totally wasn't ready to give it another chance! lol. I think the only reason why I ended up watching it was because I was used to watching TV late at night before I go to bed. it had become like a ritual. and I usually watched the Cosby show (haha!), so since Wings was on instead for that week, I just watched that!! I'm VERY glad I did, because after I had seen 3 or 4 episodes, my interest was raised, and I wanted to keep on watching it. eeeeeee!
