How did you come to love your fave show so much? - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

My favorite show is Bewitched. No kidding, it helped me through one of the roughest patches of my life.

In the late summer of 2003, a very special man in my life suddenly passed away. It was very unexpected. He was one of my very best friends...just as things were starting to move beyond friendship. I thought I was going to marry him. So, needless to say, I was devastated. On top of that, I felt stuck in my then job, among other things.

One morning in the fall, I had to get up early because I had to start working an earlier shift. So as I was getting ready I flipped on the TV. Our local UPN station (now MyTVNetwork) was showing reruns of Bewitched. I hadn't seen that show since I was a very little kid.

It was so much fun to rediscover as an adult, and pretty soon I was watching (and taping) the show every day. I bought several Bewitched shirts I found on various websites. I began buying the seasons on DVD when they became available. Also, I dressed up as Samantha for Halloween in 2004 when I was invited to a costume party.

I was also thrilled to dress up as Samantha again in the summer of 2005. I was working at a movie theater at the time and I was in costume for a promotion weekend when the Bewitched movie came out. I even bought a white gold diamond heart necklace just like Sam's!

It's hard to describe the magic that is the show Bewitched. Certainly it is the love story of a man and a woman who, though from completely different worlds, were perfectly matched. Also it is the relatives and neighbors who are never boring. I also think it has a lot to do with motivation to make all you can out of yourself. Since I became hooked on the show, I went back to school for a brief time and then wound up in a job I love. It took a lot of hard work and determination.

God bless the cast and crew of Bewitched!!

well; my favorite drama is all 3 of the C.S.I. shows, and I discovered the original one because I was starting to get tired of watching sitcoms, mostly. So one Thursday night I decided to watch it because it sounded interesting, and I've been back every week since. I even watch the reruns on SPIKE TV.
As for C.S.I.: MIAMI I discovered that because it used to be on right after 2 AND A HALF MEN on Monday nights. One night I was bored because nothing was on (proves how bored I was if I actually watched 2 AND A HALF MEN) so I kept the TV turned to CBS and that's when I discovered it.
As for C.S.I.: NEW YORK; I started watching it because I like the other 2 so much; and liked what I saw!
As for sitcoms; I don't really know.

about 2 or 3 years ago who's the boss? was on N@N I was watching it and it was really interesting. Well as the months went on I forgot about it because of personal problems, school and just stress. I was on the computer a couple of months later and I saw a picture of the 1st season dvd and I watched it again. Watching it over the summer after a hard school year helped me forget about my various problems

I come to love my fave show when at the start of the show the story is really beautiful.

I liked the 60's tv shows from first watching them in reruns. The show that really helped me through the agony of chicken pocks when I was 18 was Here's Lucy. Lucy made me forget about my chicken pocks. I really loved Bewitched too, I never get tired of watching every episode.

I like so many shows. It is really hard for me to narrow it down, but probably one of my most favorites is Happy Days. I think I was about 8 years old when I saw it for the first time. My mom had one episode on tape and it was the where Postie Quits School where he sings Pumps Your Blood. Ever since I have loved that show. It helps me through hard times and I love the music in it. I always like to be myself in that time because I wasn't around when it was originally on. So, it is probably one of my favorite shows because I can also relate because they are in High School/College and I'm in High School. It has just always made me feel better.

I think after you start watching your favorite shows you kind of form a bond
with them; its almost like they're a good friend. Man I hope this doesn't sound
too sappy.

I don't really like to leave my house much or anything, so when I was younger, I got hooked on things really easily. MASH just happened to be the main one. I spent most of my 7th and 8th grade years researching MASH and the Korean War, and somehow, I just got hooked...it was like a little escape I guess.
