TV shows you watched during its first run but for some reason don't watch in reruns - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

Ireneparalegal · 02-12-2008, 06:41 PM

Are there any shows that you watched during its first run but for whatever reason, you can't get into again? Is there a show you can watch maybe once in a great while? Here are mine:

FRESH PRINCE -no brainer there...

FAMILY MATTERS - I can watch maybe five minutes of an episode, but that's it. It is not the same as it was during its first run.

MAMA'S FAMILY - There is only one episode I look forward to watching, but that's it for me.

HOME IMPROVEMENT - It was a great show to watch back then, but now, I can't even sit through a whole episode. Maybe if there was nothing at all to watch, I might watch it.

I know there is more...

Seinfeld... I lost interest in it not too long after it ended on NBC... maybe I'll gain some interest in it again someday

Mikado · 02-12-2008, 06:58 PM

Man, so many that I'll probably miss a few .... (I will stick to sitcoms only)

The Jeffersons- Stopped watching before the show ended, no interest in watching again

Bewitched- Seen it too often, might watch the Dick York shows again, but never the Sargent years

Gilligan's Island, Brady Bunch, Partridge family, Beverly Hillbillies, Green Acres, Pettitcoat Junction, Andy Griffith, Happy Days, Laverne & Shirley - I've simply outgrown them all

Sanford & Son, Chico & the Man- the whole "Cranky old man bitching thing"
got old

Welcome back Kotter- show is totally dated

Good Times, Sanford & Son, Mama's Family, The Golden Girls, & probably a few others. They were ok the first time around but I don't really want to watch them again.

Except for Facts of Life, I agree with the rest of those.

I can't think of one show I watched in it's original run that I don't watch in syndication. I guess you can say step by step but that's only because it's on at 2pm

The Fresh Prince of Bel Air
Punky Brewster
Kate and Allie

Pretty much all the sitcoms I watched in the 90, except Full House and Saved by the Bell. I watched those a lot in reruns. But Fresh Prince, Blossom, all those TGIF shows...

I would probably check out Blossom again if it ever surfaces.

Mikado · 02-13-2008, 02:59 AM

more for the list:

Facts of life (outgrew it, obviously)
One Day at a time (Show is SO dated)
Alice (I was never a big fan, hate it now)
Diffrent Strokes (see FOL)
Patty Duke (Havent seen it in 30 years, am totally neutral about the show now)
