Your Former Favorite TV Shows that you do not like anymore or can not stand - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

USATVFAN · 05-16-2012, 08:53 PM

What Shows use to be your TV favorite Shows but now you Hate, Do not like or Can not stand them now?

Full House- use to be a Favorite form age 6-11, Now I hate it. as I got older it's just seem way too corny and way too Sugar Coated Cheesy-Peachy, unrealistic Perfect annoying for me. Now I can not stand it at all! and it's just pure annoying now!. I vented on why I did not like Full House a little more in a previous post a couple months ago. It only a kiddies show in my opinion and only for kids under age 11 and should only air on PBS or the Disney Channel as a After School After school special. I know that Pretty Harsh but sorry that my Opinion. Too Cheesy and can not stand it any more. Utterly Cringe worthy now! should be labelled as a only 8 Year old show.

The Cosby Show- My Favorite show from age 10-14, Now I do not like it at all anymore! It's okay, I do it watch it form time to time and I have the show on DVD. But I just can not get it into anmyore and it's just seems Boring. Also it too peachy(Not as bad Full House Though!) and and way to unrealistically perfect! sorry but no Family is that perfect! I just can not get into it anymore and it does not seem as funny as when I was 11 or 12! Although that may be because I discovered new comedy like All in The Family and Three's Company around age 12 and 15 respectively. Those are my types of Shows now. Cosby show just doesn't seem funny anymore. Not even in my top 30 now!

Two and a Half Men. I absolutely postively LOVED this over the top HILARIOUS show - for the firat 8 years when it had Charlie Sheen. Since they killed him off - an UNFORGIVABLE ACT - I haven't seen even ONE episode and will NEVER view the show again. Period. It's like killing Archie Bunker and still airing All in the Family.

Seconded on Full House. I loved it when I was 10. Now I love it but only in the "so bad it's good" kinda way.

I use to love Alf when I was young and it was in its original run, but now its just plain silly.

The Simpsons - From 1990 until 1994 this was "appointment TV" to me. However, after the "Itchy and Scratchyland" episode on 10/2/94 I began to question my love of the show because of all the violence. Then the X-Files spoof on 1/12/97 (a glowing object that happens to be Burns) made me upset that I threw a half hour down the toilet. Then on 6/27/97 when I accidentally recorded something off of my FOX station (and it was The Simpsons) instead of something else I quit watching the show completely. Never again.

Sanford and son really only has 3 seasons because the 1st season wasn't that good on top of the time he missed from the show due to contract disputes and the last season being not that good. So that only leaves seasons 2, 3, and half of 4 which is why I'm all sanford and son out-lol

Virtually all of Norman Lear's sitcoms I classify as "currently unwatchable". When I was a kid I loved seeing all of them in syndication - particularly All In The Family, The Jeffersons, and Good Times. But now they appear to be just so.... bleh...with the corniness and relentless in-your-face approach.

As a kid I also watched I Love Lucy, The Dick Van Dyke Show, Taxi, and some MTM productions when they were on N@N or TBS. I didn't really enjoy them as much (or even totally understand them) yet now that I'm an adult these shows appear to be the gold standard for television comedy.

Everybody Loves Raymond. The weekly plots of "Ray does something stupid/Debra gets mad and yells/Frank and Marie prefer Ray to Robert and Robert whines" got extremely stale and the characters became annoying and one note.
