For me, it was Seinfeld. I'll see if I can think of any others! What are yours?

Coach.

I watched it when Hayden was a NFL Coach, but thought it was corny. Then I seen some first & second season episodes and I was hooked on it...

Roseanne, I watched it a couple of times when it first came on and didn't like
it at all. Then years later I started watching it in reruns and it kind of grew on
me.

BensonFan · 01-26-2007, 05:24 PM

I just thought of another one:

I Love Lucy

Little House on the Prarie I thought was F**king boring. But one episode I just payed attention and now I'm "HOOKED" you could say.

Roseanne.

What I Like About You

SEINFELD. Back when it first came on; I thought it was boring, unfunny, and stupid. But then, I started watching it in the 3rd season and became hooked.
I've heard other people say that they didn't like it the first couple seasons; either. Seeing the episodes from the first 2 seasons; I can see why people felt that way about it at first.
FRIENDS-when it first started, I just couldn't see WHAT THE **** people found so funny about it. But then I watched a couple episodes when everyone started talking about it and all the girls started copying Rachels hair; then I found myself watching it more and more and liking it.
THAT 70s SHOW-I never liked this until the reruns started on FX; now I'm sorry I never watched it in it's original run.

I never used to like King Of the Hill until I started watching re-runs last year.
Now I'm hooked.

catlover79 · 02-03-2007, 01:29 PM

I wouldn't count it as a show I really LIKE, per se, but I've grown to appreciate Roseanne more in recent years. It had an air of reality to it, and you really don't see that on the sitcoms of today. With that being said, the last season was PITIFUL!!

Classicshowsgurl15 · 02-03-2007, 08:01 PM

I used to not like Good Times that much, but now I think it is a pretty good show.

mrs.gingerhinkley · 02-03-2007, 09:39 PM

Man, I used to think that Gilligan's Island was a dumb, boring show. heck, I even went as far as saying I hated Gilligan. OMG! Because now, I can't stop watching it!!!!
I LOVE IT AND IT IS THE BEST SHOW IN THE ENTIRE HISTORY OF TELEVISON!
If you've never seen it, I HIGHLY recommend it! Or, if you disagree with me and think that it is a mindless stupid show, well try watching it again, because YOU ARE WRONG! It's an AWESOME show!

It was a silly show (that's why it's classified as a comedy), but the actors were excellent and fun to watch. Having Mary Ann on the show didn't hurt, either.

In its original run I did not like One Day At a Time at first. Bonnie Franklin took some getting used to and it took me nearly two seasons to get into the show and her. It grew to be one of my all time favorites and developed a crush on Bonnie in the process.
