Oh boy, there are so many!!! TV has a great way of surprising you sometimes. You never know what a show has to offer until you give it a chance...

These are the shows I got into just this year that I never thought I'd ever watch or get into:

-George Lopez (Never watched it on it's original run because I never thought I'd like it, but then it came to Nick @ Nite and I fell in love with the show!! Absolutely hillarious!!)

-How I Met Your Mother (I watched the show only for the much hyped Britney episode and ended up getting hooked to the show after one episode!! I can't believe it took me so long to discover this great show!!)

-The Big Bang Theory (So Monday nights before HIMYM is Big Bang Theory, and it wasn't long before I became addicted to this gem! The writing is superb!!!)

-My Name is Earl (Usually airs before The Office, which I love, and when I gave the show a chance one day, I couldn't stop laughing!! Good stuff!!)

-30 Rock (Again, it's on the same night as The Office, and I'd heard great things about the show, but never really seen it. When I did, I was sorry I'd missed the first season!!)

-The Nanny (I was never a fan, but watching it on Lifetime and found that this show is actually really funny! The chemistry between Fran and Mr. Sheffield is great!)

"Buffy the Vampire Slayer" - When this show was on, it just seemed like the kind of show I would never like. So I didn't. However, last November, when the complete series was on sale for $94, I decided to blind buy it. Once I got it, I watched all seven seasons over a course of three to four weeks. It's one of my favorite shows now.

"Angel" - Well I wasn't going to watch this if I wasn't watching "Buffy." What surprised me is how much I love it now. I even kind of prefer it to Buffy. That surprised me. Glenn Quinn was only in the first nine episodes, yet, when I think of him, it's from "Angel" not his long run on "Roseanne."

"Curb Your Enthusiasm" - I wasn't a big fan of "Seinfeld." I thought it was funny, but didn't deserve to be known as one of the all-time great sitcoms. So when I saw that Larry David had his own show, I didn't care to watch. One day, I was at a Target and in the mood to watch a season set to a show I had never seen. I saw season one of Curb and decided to check it out. It is hilarious. I laugh so much that I nearly throw up. I don't do that with a lot of shows. Needless to say, it's one of my favorites.

CSI, Dexter, Fresh Prince. I remember going on and on about how dumb I thought that show (FP) looked when it debuted in 1990. Watched the first episode and laughed all through it.
