Popular shows you just never could get into - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

What really popular sitcoms could you just not get into, no matter how many times you tried watching. A few for me...

I Love Lucy
All in the Family (as well as any other Norman Lear show)
Three's Company
The Golden Girls
Seinfeld
Friends
Roseanne
Married With Children
Will & Grace
Frasier
Third Rock from the Sun
Full House
Home Improvement

I never could understand the appeal of any of those shows. To me, they're just not that funny.

Frasier, *i try and i try but i must confess that i only watch it when the cheers characters Cameo.*

I would have to say:

Friends
Will and Grace
Frazier
Cheers(when Diane was on it)
The Odd Couple
Different Strokes(after Mrs G left)
Northern Exposure
(I hated) Wings

Thats all I can think of right now.

The Partridge Family
Sanford & Son
All In The Family (the best show I dont like)

Off the top of my head, "Everybody Loves Raymond."
I catch an episode every now and then, but I could take it or leave it.

Jrnygrl · 11-10-2003, 06:49 PM

Good question!!! Now let me see:

First and foremost I don't ge the Friends thing, have never seen an episode.

Frasier, seen it laughed a little, not my cup of tea.

Home Improvement
Wings
Northern Exposure
Reba
George Lopez Show
Mr. Ed (this is just a dumb, dumb show. Wilbur!)
The Love Boat
Gilligan's Island
One Day at A Time
Perfect Strangers

:wave

TVJunkie101 · 11-10-2003, 07:18 PM

I can watch pretty much any show. The one I just don't see the appeal in is MASH.

Christopher · 11-10-2003, 10:00 PM

These shows might be popular, but I can't stand them. They aren't funny imo.

Happy Days
Seinfeld
Cheers
Wonder Years
The Cosby Show

Brent88 · 11-10-2003, 10:32 PM

Cosby Show
Seinfeld
Friends
Married...With Children
Full House
Home Improvement

Brian · 11-10-2003, 10:34 PM

Laverne and Shirley (I like Happy Days but this spinoff doesn't really satisfy me as much as HD does)

Friends (I did like this show...when I was in 5th grade, that is)

Crimson and Clover · 11-10-2003, 11:15 PM

The Cosby Show

Mr. Television · 11-11-2003, 12:58 AM

vashti1999 · 11-11-2003, 01:19 AM

Frasier
Cheers
Friends
Everybody Loves Raymond

Here are ten for me:

All in the Family (as well as Norman Lear's other shows)
The Beverly Hillbillies
Boy Meets World*
Cheers
The Cosby Show
Growing Pains (its only saving grace was the theme song being sung by B. J. Thomas

)
I Love Lucy
Married ... with Children*
Roseanne
Seinfeld

* Their popularity is debatable. Were they ever in the Top 20?
