Can you name two shows that are the same style, same basic idea.... but you only like one of them??

EXAMPLE:
You like "Bewitched", but not "I Dream of Jeannie"

barwars · 11-25-2003, 05:25 PM

I like Cheers..... but dont like Wings.

That's what I was going to say

Adamantium · 11-25-2003, 06:38 PM

I like "The King of Queens" but don't like "Still Standing".
I like "Chico and the Man" but don't like "Sanford and Son".
I like "Bewitched" but don't like "I Dream of Jeannie".

Oh, and just to be different:
I like "Wings" but don't like "Cheers"

In all honesty I LOVE Wings, and mearly like Cheers. I can watch Wings episodes over and over and still laugh, whereas Cheers episodes, too me, are only funny the one time. Maybe the second time, too. Again, that's just my opinion. And what better place to give my opinion than here on the messageboards?

I don't know how similar these are, but both are set in wars.

I like Hogan's Heroes but not M*A*S*H

Mr. Television · 11-26-2003, 02:49 AM

They're sort of alike but I like Seinfeld and don't like Friends.

Chocoholic · 11-26-2003, 04:40 PM

They're kind of alike and from the same people. I love Wings, but I don't care for Frasier.

I like The Waltons, but I don't care for Little House on the Prairie.
I like Family Matters, but I don't care for The Cosby Show.

I love "Little House on the Prairie" but I'm not too fond of "Waltons."

I love "Melrose Place" but HATE "Beverly Hills 90210."

I love "Step by Step" but dislike the "Brady Bunch."

I love "Dark Shadows" but I strongly dislike "Port Charles."

Sitcomwriter · 11-30-2003, 05:09 PM

I love "The OC" but I've never really seen "One Tree Hill" (and what I've seen of it sucks IMO LOL).

I loved "Off Centre" but only think "Eve" (which features 2 castmembers from that show) is only ok.

I like "Step-By-Step" but hate "The Brady Bunch".

I love both "The Brady Brides" and "The Bradys" but hate "The Brady Bunch".

I love "Hope & Faith" but hate "Laverne & Shirley".

I love "Newlyweds" but hate "The Osbournes".

I love "Style & Substance" but hate "The Simple Life" (the one with Judith Light from 1998, not to be confused with the Paris Hilton series which premieres this week).

I love "Rich Girls" but don't think I'll like "The Simple Life" (that being the one with Paris Hilton LOL).

hammerhead · 12-01-2003, 03:28 AM

I gotta say that I am obsessed with the new show Arrested Development but hated the Royal Tenanbaums movie. I know this is about tv shows but I think those are really alike. Maybe it is because the show is supposed to be really funny, and is. If anyone reading this doesn't know about the show, you can see it on Sunday night or here www.fox.com/arresteddev ...It is really almost as funny as the Simpsons or Family Guy

Riff · 12-01-2003, 05:42 AM

I like "Friends," but don't like "The Single Guy," "Union Square," "The Weber Show," "Fired Up," "Jesse," or... hell, every show NBC has ever had after "Friends."
