Actually, Laverne and Shirley had the reverse effect on me. When it first came to lifetime, I would watch it casually. About 2 weeks ago, I finally started to get into the show and started taping it.


2 sitcoms I like but never record:
That 70's Show
Family Matters


That's all I can think of cause I usually tape most of the shows I watch.

I'm the same as you - I watched L&S casually, but now I'm going to buy the 1st season when it comes out this year.

is it money wasted if the person buying it will get hours of enjoyment out of it? Now if you hate Cheers, but buy the DVD just to say you own it, then I suppose it's a waste of money

I agree, I actually think TBS/N@N is trying the next wave of "tv show on DVD" deal.... by permanently tattooing each episode in your brain by showing it so many times, if you decide "I wanna watch episode #63" (not sure which one it is offhand), all you have to do is channel that part of your brain, lol.

I totally disagree. If these shows have fans then they are definitely worth recording. In fact, I like both shows a lot and have them on tape.
