Default Name 2 shows you had a chance to watch and loved it and 2 show you didn't?

The two shows that I finally got a chance to watch and enjoyed was Maude and Rhoda. Both shows was very entertaining and had a certain moment in the show I looked forward to which was

Maude's "God will get you for that? and Carlton the doorman"


The two shows I finally had a chance to watch and didnt like was

Chico and the Man and One Day at a Time. The first 13 episodes of CATM was so boring and I didnt laugh one time. it wasnt until the end of the 1st season that the show became a little watchable but not by much. The main character was just too irritable and it took to long for him to be likable. I couldn't get into One day at a time because it was geared toward women. It was also someone kind of teenage girl drama involving julie or ann's love life. Then the nutball janitor was just pointless and wasnt funny and served no purpose to me, I mean why was he was there as a grown man? he wasn't dating Ann, he wasnt the girls father and wasnt fixing **** so I saw no reason for his existence. I gave up after season 3.

I really thought I was going to dislike 30 Rock but I'm loving it so far. Very underrated comedy and is forgotten. Another show I got to see that I really liked was Parks and Recreation.


Two shows that I had a chance to see and didn't like were 3rd Rock from the Sun and The Middle. I thought The Middle was going to be an updated version of Malcolm in the Middle, but I didn't like it too much

Maude was a blind buy for me when I purchased the complete series set during the release. I had only seen a handful of episodes off YouTube and N@N. Now it's like The Facts of Life where I'll have one of those two shows playing all the time.

I've had The Nanny complete series set since its release but never watched it. Due to television being crap these days, I decided to give it a try. I'm now enjoying it and glad I bought it.

I own all of Angel on DVD but never watched it until now. I cannot get into this show. I'm trying so hard too. Season 2 started off strong but it turned into a soap opera with revenge and tearing the friendships apart for multiple episodes. I couldn't stand it that I started fast forwarding episodes to see if there's any good scenes. The law firm should have been a one season story IMO. I know it's there in the final season. It's like Passions and Pretty Little Liars dragging a story out the whole series. I'm surprise people think this is better than its parent show Buffy

All in The Family. There's a ton of funny moments, but Mike's character makes it hard to watch most of the time. This was another blind buy like Maude. If Mike had been written differently or left the series in the beginning, I would be enjoying the show a lot more. Archie and Edith are the stars and keep my interest in watching still. The most hilarious line I've seen from any sitcom is from this show when Archie thinks he's been poisoned with contaminated mushrooms and Edith yells out, "Do you want an enema?" I was not expecting that response and laughed so hard at it. I like when sitcoms give you shock value with a response you don't see coming.

Schneider was the superintendent and was always shown “fixing ****”, so you’re wrong there. The rest you said is just personal opinion, so I won’t argue with you on that stuff.

Maude and Rhoda are pretty good. I’ve never seen Chico and The Man. I give ODAAT a C- overall. While it’s hard to notice due to his eavesdropping and silliness, Schneider did fix things. ODAAT did have lots of drama as well. And I thought Good Times was tense.

I'm the opposite, I thought I'd like 30 rock but it's too corny. That dopey music playing in the background. Plus Liz was too awkward of a character and kinda gross (is: hygiene jokes and such,).

You mean, 3rd Rock from the Sun. Jane Curtain was Prof. Mary Allbright. The woman who played Mary's mom later played Jack's mom on 30 Rock

Few years back I saw Breaking Bad and recently I binged The Office both shows of which I really enjoyed.

I also tried painfully to watch How I Met Your Mother and it was a nightmare trying to see why it lasted so long, another dreck I saw was Growing Pains which suffers from 1980's sappy banality.
