Shows you're embarrassed to admit you once loved - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

South Park- Loved it in college. Now, I think it's just vulgar and disgusting.

Everybody Loves Raymond- Liked it at first, but I just find it so obnoxious and unfunny now. Definitely one of the most overrated sitcoms ever.

Full House, Family Matters, Step by Step, ALF- and most other shows I watched in grade school.

Friends. Ugh...I watched it a little in college. WHY OH WHY?? I was too homesick to make good decisions.

Family Matters - but I still like the episodes before it became completely Urkel-centric.

Full House - every once in a blue moon, I'll be flipping channels and see a rerun. Watching an entire episode is enough to put anyone in a diabetic coma!!

Baby Talk - Enough said??

I detest this show now but when I was a kid I liked Green Acers. What the hell was I thinking?????

You should never feel embarrassed about television shows you enjoy(ed). Tastes evolve and change, nothing more.

Welcome Back, Kotter, Laverne and Shirley, The Amazing SpiderMan (live action), Wonder Woman (still love Lynda Carter but the show just doesn't hold up on any level other than camp anymore), Alice, The Jeffersons, and I'm sure many more I can't think of right now.

You make a good point, but I'm still embarrassed.

Half of the TV shows I watched either as an adult I've finally realized just how ****ty and corny these shows are or due to allot of grief and ridicule I received for watching them.

dakert · 05-18-2009, 11:13 PM

If I liked a show as a kid--I most likely still like it now!!!! I have good taste!!!

Jessica · 05-19-2009, 09:16 AM

Hmm, I don't think there are any I'm embarrased of.^^

Cactus Jack · 05-19-2009, 11:01 AM

The Brady Bunch-Its just so cheesy LOL, but I still like it, I just dont make a point to watch all the time like in 2002/3

Other than that yeah I agree tastes change,but I still like the old stuff,maybe if TV Land wasnt crap now Id watch it some LOL

Those are all great shows and I can't say I'm embarrassed- I loved them and still do. Wonder Woman and The Amazing Spiderman are still excellent, and I'll take them any day over the majority of crap that's on TV today.

Heidi Dawn · 05-19-2009, 12:44 PM

Well, I used to like - Perfect Strangers, Family Matters, and Step By Step. I can't stand these shows now and am glad that they're not airing reruns where I live.
