Since we have thread on shows you got into late, how about the opposite? What did you watch from the premiere to the end or the present?

Some of mine:
Quantum Leap
Early Edition
Homefront
The Big Bang Theory
Reasonable Doubts
NCIS
Frasier
Lost

Riptide
Barney Miller

I don't mean shows you've seen all the way thru on dvd or streaming or in reruns. I mean shows you watched from the night the first episode premiered on traditional TV and from week to week until the finale aired.

Buffy The Vampire Slayer (From The WB to UPN, I had this show recorded on VHS tapes with the TV Guide ads pasted on the tape covers. This was the first show I watched from when it started to the day it ended. Worth every second)
Desperate Housewives (Season 5 really made it hard on me, but I continued to season 6 and onward. I'm glad I did because it got better)
Reba
The Exes
Hot in Cleveland
Melissa & Joey
2 Broke Girls
Supernatural (it's not done yet, but I have stuck with it since it began and will see how it ends)
Mom (same as Supernatural)
American Horror Story (same as Supernatural)
Devious Maids
Revenge
Gotham
Pretty Little Liars (I should have been paid for finishing this crap

)

Angel
(I didn't catch Buffy the Vampire Slayer until its second season, but I would otherwise agree with Christopher that it was worth every second).
Game of Thrones (the last season was bad).
Home Improvement
Life Goes On
Family Ties
The Cosby Show (the "Cousin Pam" years were bad)

I wish Angel was like Buffy. It is so hard trying to stick with this show because it doesn't have the spark Buffy does. Speaking of which, I noticed a lot of shows I watched and gave up on when creating my list in this thread. It's really hard sticking with a show from start to finish if they keep getting worst each season.

Angel was never as good as Buffy, but it had a good cast, and was worth watching from end to end. I hated the fourth season, but Season 5 became a classic for me. Cordy, Wes, Spike, Harmony, and Angel were the strong points. Fred and Gunn were less so.

Yep! I had that experience with so many shows, which started off strong, but ended up not worth watching: Charmed, Family Matters, Step by Step, etc.

But what was much more common for me was missing the first season (or so) of a show, and then tuning in for the remaining seasons: that's why I can't add The Facts of Life, Roseanne, Cheers, The Golden Girls, Who's the Boss, Growing Pains, Diff'rent Strokes, Saved by the Bell, Newhart, Head of the Class, Gimme a Break, Friends, The Big Bang Theory, Mom, etc. to the list. I missed the beginning episodes when they originally aired!

I watched the first two episodes of Pretty Little Liars, didn't think it was worth coming back for episode 3.

I preferred Lucy Hale in Privileged, the one season drama starring Joanna Garcia from Reba.

I have some of those too. My most recent one is The Boys. When I heard Jensen Ackles was going to be in the third season, I had to give the show a shot to see if it's something I would enjoy. If Jensen wasn't going to be in it, I would have become a fan. It's actually a pretty good show.

I watched it for Laura Leighton. Her and Ashley Benson had great chemistry as mother / daughter. If the show would have done the Desperate Housewives format of a new mystery every season instead of dragging "A" out the whole 7 years, it would have been a lot better.
