What show (S) did you hate at first and then it, they grew on you? - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

Friends, now I love watching all the re runs.
It use to be Raymond but since it's not on at 12:00 AM in Washington DC, I don't really miss it that much since I watched it so much when it was on.

That Girl. When I first watched it I thought Donald was kind of drippy, but now when I watch it I adore him. And I thought Anne was kind of cloying now I adore her too.

Of course when I first watched it I was 12-15; now I'm 60-so that may have something to do with it.

Great question.

Strangely enough it was The King of Queens which at first I thought was so unfunny and pointless. I didn't get its appeal at all.

It ended up being one of my absolute favorites.

I thought I Dream of Jeannie was a silly show when I was about 10 years old. Suddenly when I passed a certain age I saw the light.

One that I hated off the top when I first saw it, but started to love later was original-recipe NBC Star Trek of the 60s. I had originally hated it when I first saw some of it with my brother Mike, because the film prints were incredibly scratchy and the show was hard to watch. When I got the remastered releases of it sometime later though (I first got the individuals, and now have the CBS DVD condensed lot release that came out in 2015), I eventually became of the opinion that I hold now: that 1966-69 Trek was one of my two favorites of the franchise (the other being Voyager).
