Shows people love but you can't get into...
 

So there's some sort of Cheers story on NPR right now...and that got me thinking....

What are some shows that everyone seems to love - but that you never just got into?

Here are some on my list:

Cheers (though I love the theme song)
Mash
Murphy Brown

BLASPHEMY!

Murphy Brown is, like, the best sitcom ever made, Deanna!

AMEN !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

:sorry: I could just never get into it :shrug: Perhaps one day I'll give it another chance....don't hit me ;)

"The woman thinks Camus is a soap!"

:laugh:

It's on Nick At Nite now, but very late at night. I think past midnight. I'm dying for the second season, I'm surprised my first season DVDs haven't died from laser rot yet. :laugh:

I also LOVED the one where she inadvertantly stole Socks, the Clinton cat - and also the one where she and Corky (LOVE HER) also got loaded on the plane and ordered everything from the HS catalog :laugh:

I loved that show!

I agree about MASH. Never got into Seinfeld, either.

I still don't understand the whole CSI and Law and Order craze (and why do they have so many spinoff shows?).

:laugh: I love the Socks episode!!!!!!

I also love the one where Murphy took credit for one of Corky's stories and Corky got back at her by stealing Murphy's stories right on the air. That was classic.

Seinfeld is the one I get the most flack for not liking, which is weird because I love Curb Your Enthusiasm... :shrug:

I also never got into Charmed, which all my friends have been raving about for years. Again, weird because I'm a big fan of just about every supernatural themed show out there.

OMG - Garry Marshall was HYSTERICAL everytime he was on screen as was Tomlin - though she came in too late.

He says sheepishly - a court clerk once referred to me as "Miller Redfield" after an oral argument :o :mad: :(

Hmmm...
 

Just a few (Let's say I basically hate network TV...The only watchable show is ABC's "Lost")

American Idol
The Simple Life
Friends
Seinfeld
Everybody Loves Raymond (Except me!)
The Simpsons
Alias
Law & Order
Desparate Housewives (Watched it once after everyone here raved about it, turned it due to boredom)
Survivor
CSI
ER
Andy Griffith
The Dukes of Hazzard
Green Acres
The Cosby Show
Fresh Prince of Bel-Aire
Cheers
Sex in the City (aka "C___ with no t*tties")
Six Feet Under

:eek: :eek: :eek: Noooo!
I do think MASH is a guy thing. I love it, and the Hallmark Channel's 2 hour daily dose just started.
Seinfeld is only the greatest show of all time!!! :thumbsup:

I never cared much for Cheers.
I don't get the CSI thing either. Or all the reality TV.

"guy thing" & "Hallmark Channel" just don't seem to fit in the same sentence. :D

The original CSI is great, the spinoffs are weak. Law & Order...same thing.

How can you people not like Cheers?! :eek: Holy Jeebus!!!

I'm with Brian on this one, I didn't get into any of those shows, either! Also I never liked Murphy Brown, MASH, The Jeffersons, The OC, Dawsons Creek, Laguna Beach (all those kinda shows.)

I don't care what channel shows MASH. Hell, put it on Lifetime! :lol: :lol: :lol:
I've never seen more than a couple minutes of CSI. I don't care for blood, guts, or killing.

Cheers was okay. I just never got into the whole Sam/Diane thing. I thought it was boring, all the relationship humor.

Hate Law and Order, but I loooooooove CSI Original Recipe. I HATE THE CSI SPINOFFS WITH THE FIRE OF A THOUSAND SUNS.

CSI is awesome because it's an incredibly well-written and well-acted show that has one of the most dynamic characters ever on television in the form of Grissom... and they give you just enough personal drama/humor/interaction to offset the cases and to give the show an actual arc.

I don't get the love for Everybody Loves Raymond, or any of the sitcoms on today for that matter. Just think they're boring. :shrug:

I love lots of shows people don't get or watch- Alias, Veronica Mars, and Arrested Development are the current ones. Older ones- Freaks and Geeks, Undeclared, etc.

Seinfeld, he got on my nerves... and South Park.

Romy

Yeah I'll add to my list:

Survivor
American Idol
Buffy
OC
Dawson's Creek
The Jefferson's
All in the Family

Oh, duh, I totally HAAAATE Seinfeld. How could I have forgotten that?

Funny how many of us don't get Seinfeld. Add me to that list. I actually have only seen one episode. I saw it - and the only other time I've seen the show, it was a repeat of the SAME episode. I took it as a sign.


Rest of my list:

All the Idol shows
Survivor
The Simpsons
Sex in the City

Someone above mentioned Freaks and Geeks. I? LOVED that show!! Along with My So-Called Life. But, right - we were talking about shows we just didn't get. :sorry: I get distracted easily. Probably why I don't watch much TV. I can never sit through a whole show. :o

Me too :nod: I was so sad when both got canceled...Freaks and Geeks - LOVED the ep where Lindsay gets a keg - and then Sam replaces it with non-alcoholic beer :laugh: I STILL laugh thinking about that episode...SUCH a great show!

I dont get...
 

easily distracted, Just rather listen to music instead of watching TV...Been that way for years and no end is in sight.

I agree with these two. Another show that I can't stand is Friends.
I am a huge Seinfeld fan but I could never get into Curb Your Enthusiasm.

I was definitely a sucker for the Sam and Diane relationship. That was the best part! I never got into it as much when Rebecca came, even though I love Kirstie Alley!

Yes. Friends sucks. It's so stupid, IMO.

Meee!! I love Freaks and Geeks!! You should get the DVDs. They are seriously an amazing investment. They have at least one commentary track per episode, and every episode also has a ton of deleted and alternate scenes. The special features are awesome.

I? LOVE Friends :distress: lol...well I guess that was the point of this thread...

Loser! lol jk ;)

Hate these!

sopranos
any/every show on WB

i don't watch tv. the only shows i make a point of watching are Survivor (total junkie) and Empire (which i wish they would take all the way through to Charlemagne and the Holy Roman Empire). while i was on vacation i watched Hell's Kitchen, that was cool.

Nah..
 

just someone who thinks for themselves instead of being forced fed BS from the networks.

Two I can think of right now...
 

-Friends
-WB Shows (except What I Like About You)
-The Real World (done with it)
-Lost
-Dancing with the Stars
-Everybody Loves Raymond
-CSI and the spinoffs
-Cold Case
-LA Law
-Soap Operas

Simon Rex did porn...

:eek: I can understand the later seasons, but even the early ones? Damn, that was some fine television.
