Which shows did you hate at first but then grew to love ? Or vice versa ? - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

The Gooch · 03-03-2001, 04:06 PM

Cheers, Seinfeld, (and to a lesser extent) Married with Children, I hated at first though grew to love. Family Matters, Growing Pains, The Hogan Family and the Cosby Show I liked at first but then grew to hate.

I loved Friends the first year, but then it got real stupid.

Hated, grew to like

Welcome Back Kotter
All in the family
Monty Pythons flying circus

liked, grew to hate

I Dream of Jeannie
Bewitched
The Facts of Life (I actually dont hate this show, just grew sick of it! FOL has pretty good watchability, but it doesnt have re-watchability!! I just cant watch episodes of this over and over again, and now that I've seen every episode theres no point in watching it any more!! I believe it's time for FOL to be moved into a later spot, and be replaced by a show that hasnt been seen for a few years.)

The T · 05-03-2001, 10:56 PM

Dude, Classictvman, I have to agree with you about FOL!! It's good the first time, but the second time it's so, well, boring. As for HAppy Days, I dunno, maybe I'm obsessed (obviously) but I could watch most of those eps at least twice...there're just some shows that are more re-watchable than others.
