Show's You Wanted To, But Could Never Get Into? - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

Is there any show that REALLY interested you, but when you saw it, it didn't grab you the way some of your favorite shows did?

For me.... WINGS did that, I found the show funny, but I just couldn't get into it.

Who's The Boss
All In The Family

I know Cheers is a great show, but I just cannot get into it. Weird, because I love Frasier, but I didn't even watch Cheers when Kelsey was on.

Raymond's OK, but I find myself not watching it all the time. I've heard people say they love it, including my sister. I guess the reason I don't watch the whole episode sometimes is because I don't like the way they treat each other, especially Debra towards Ray.

"The King of Queens"-it's a funny show, but, I don't know, I just can't get into it for some reason.

"Late Night with Conan O'Brian"-same thing. I've tried watching it, but I jut don't see why people think it's so funny. Must be just me, though, cause my sister & my mother say it's hilarious.

For me it is the following:

The Beverly Hillbillies
Boy Meets World (all it is is a ripoff of The Wonder Years if you ask me)
The Cosby Show
Dr. Quinn, Medicine Woman
I Dream of Jeannie
I Love Lucy
Little House on the Prairie

And, to an extent, Happy Days. It is nowhere near as interesting as its spinoff Laverne and Shirley. The plots of L&S were more followable than their HD counterparts. I have a hard time remembering the plots of The Andy Griffith Show as well, even though I've seen roughly half of the episodes.

I tried like hell to get into Cheers and FOL, but I just can't do it.

Most ABC shows i've flipped on numerous times and found funny but never really got into:

8 Simple Rules...
According to Jim
Less than Perfect
George Lopez

...I've haven't really been into ABC since the 80s when I was young.

8 Simple Rules and ATJ I've seen once, and they were okay, but they weren't anything I'd tune in numerous times to see. BUt George Lopez I like. I find that one very funny.

I have also tried to watch this show, but I could never really get into it. Sometimes it was funny but it just wasn't working for me.
