On Happy Days, I remember the mega-hype when the Fonz was graduating high school. It wasn't until I saw the reruns as an adult, that I noticed that Henry Winker was already in his early 30's in this episode.

I don't necessarily not enjoy Happy Days anymore. But nowhere near as much as when I was younger.

I was in my teens when Webster ran originally. I always though the character Webster was too "cutesy". I never cared for the show that much.

My age plays a part. As a child I would see I Dream of Jeannie, Bewitched and find them a cute show for a preteen. Now I struggle to see a episode. Three's Company is another. Hearing Priscilla Barnes say all the show was, "how to get of this jam", I find really no suspense watching the show.

There are plenty! First off, MASH. One of my favorites as a child and young adult. I have no use for it now. I realize now how absolutely silly (and sexist!) the earlier seasons were, and how preachy and self-righteous it was, especially the Haekeye character! I used to love him. What an ass he is!

A lot of the 80s shows I loved I have no use for anymore. Family sitcoms like Growing Pains, Family Ties, Cosby Show, are so corny now. Yet, I love family sitcoms from earlier times like Leave it to Beaver, My Three Sons & Hazel.

The Jeffersons, which I still watch occasionally, irritates me because of how racist George came off. All the put downs about white people. Yet Fred Sanford & Archie Bunker don't bother me at all.

Night Court i used to think was LOL funny during first run. Not so much anymore.

Just seeing that smarmy kid anytime back then got on my nerves. I used to call him that little Webster thing.

Most of the time I just watch the shows occasionally for nostalgia. There's very few I now actually think are worth watching for entertainment. I Love Lucy, The Odd Couple, Sanford and Son, The Addams Family and Get Smart are a few that come to mind. I'll watch I Dream of Jeannie and One Day at a Time just to look at Barbara Eden and Valerie Bertinelli.

Oh yeah even on Antenna TV I just can't stand it.

Coincidentally I used to watch it back in the pre-TGIF days on ABC but I think that was more out of habit.

Why do you think Night Court is stupid?
