Shows you regret not watching from the start? - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

I just started watching 24 this season, and I'm mad at myself for not watching the previous seasons. My husband's been watching it all along. I should have listened to him when he told me that I was missing a great show.

I completely screwed up with Lost. We started watching Season 1 on DVD when Season 2 had already started. Now, it's too late to jump on board, and we have to wait until Season 2 comes out on DVD. This means I have to avoid all spoilers, promos, etc.

Has this ever happened to you...got into a show and regretted not watching it from the start?

Farscape is one show I didn't start watching until the fourth season- which turned out to be its last.

There was so much water under the bridge that I kept watching repeats to try and piece everything together.

I caught Ally McBeal and The Practice during the second season. That wasn't so bad, and fairly easy to catch in reruns.

Ireneparalegal · 02-17-2006, 06:28 PM

The Drew Carey Show. I caught it in it's third season. I only started watching it when there was nothing else to watch. Man, I love that show now. I had to watch the reruns just to see what I missed.

King of Queens, same thing, I love that show, I started watching it in it's second season.

Good luck. You miss a few epsisodes of that show and you are lost!

I've heard a lot of my friends talking about "Boston Legal," and I wish I got in on that show in the beginning, especially since it stars one of my favorites William Shatner.

Wait until you see season 2 of Lost. I like it better than season 1.

I regret not watching The A-Team from the beginning. It was one of my favorite shows but I didn't start watching it in primetime until season 4 and it was almost over. Luckily I caught up with it in syndication and now I have the first 2 seasons on DVD.

My husband and I watched Season 1 in three nights - 24 episodes. We were up to 3 am three nights in a row.

It was a lot of fun. Great show!

that 70s show i only started watching it on a reglaur basis a few seasons ago and i sure wish i had watched it from the start also i never watched 8 simple rules in first run but ive seen a few reruns and it its very cute and funny

treky · 02-18-2006, 02:09 AM

"Lost"
"Boston Legal"

And this is some-what off topic, but my sister and brother always watch "The Daily Show" and RAVE about it, and how funny it is. In fact, my brother tapes it if he's not going to be home.
, I've tried watching it but I could never get into it.
