But then after a while you did like them? I thought Friends and Everybody loves Raymand was stupid and then I started watching the re-runs when nothing else was on and now I watch them all the time.

I'll mention an oldie. When I first started seeing "I Married Joan" in reruns on the CBN network, I didn't exactly cotton to it. Usually liked vintage sitcoms, but this one seemed too broad, too silly. But after a while, I started finding a whole lot of humor in Joan Davis' old-time vaudeville-style reactions and mannerisms. I just gradually found myself cracking up, watching her. Eventually became quite a favorite of mine.

FREINDS and SEINFELD. When both of these first started, I didn't think they were funny, and no matter how many times I watched them I just couldn't see what people saw in them.

But, after watching them a few times, I started to like them.

I didn't take to Golden Girls right off. But of course, over time I became a fan.

To a lesser extent, it also took me a while to come on board with Designing Women, Dave's World, and Evening Shade. All good shows...!

I didn't care for Frasier at first, actually for a long time I didn't care about the show at all then a couple of years ago, I was bored and watched an episode. I couldn't believe what I had been missing all those years. My mom watched it and I used to watch it with her, but didn't really pay attention. I am now one of the biggest fans of the show and I love Niles and Daphne as you can see by my signature.

I used to hate King of Queens and now I really enjoy it.

I didn't really care for Yes, Dear either and then I started watching it and became a fan.

OH Nuts! · 12-27-2013, 08:36 AM

I didn't care for That Girl too much when it originally aired. Or Leave It To Beaver, which I first began viewing when the show was in syndication. Now I LOVE both shows.

I couldn't stand "Frasier" at first, but now I'm a huge fan of "Frasier."

Also, I've grown to tolerate "Friends" and "Cheers."

Ihavealife2uknow · 01-01-2014, 01:38 AM

Home Improvement I didn't enjoy as a kid so I pretty much never watched it. Then when I was older it came to Nick At Nite and I loved it.

Laverne and Shirley, wouldn't say I hated it but I'd only watch it on Nick At Nite if there was absolutely nothing else on when I was a kid. Now I enjoy watching the reruns.

veggie-tari-jenn · 01-03-2014, 07:47 AM
