TV shows you still love. And those you don't anymore

[Villavic]

There are three shows I was and still am a fan:
Friends
The Nanny
The Munsters
The Flinstones
I don't get tired of watching them

But there are shows I loved to watch, I was a die hard fan. And now when I see them again, the magic is gone. Sometimes I even get bored and change for anything else:
Moonlighting
Wonder Years
Cybill

What about you

[estranged4life]

3 I still Love:

Addams Family (Love the series & Charles Addams animated drawings that appearred in the New Yorker magazine)

The Munsters (Herman rules!!!)

Inu Yasha (Never get tired of this classic Anime)

3 I now Hate:

Star Trek (Used to care...But now I find all the Trek series annoying)

The Simpsons (Used to be a MAJOR diehard fan...Now I pray for the FOX mercy killing because IMO it ran out of ideas!)

Late Night with David Letterman/The Tonight Show with Jay Leno (I find neither as funny as they used to be...Thank GOD for Conan O'Brien!!!)

I still love All in the Family, I Love Lucy, Family Feud. Maybe the Wonder Years too. And Sex and the City reruns.

Almost every other show I can think of that i used to like would bore me now!

Dude...no....no.... the season premier was soooooooo funny. And still, to me, one episode has way more jokes in it than almost any other sitcom..

[amber]

I still like:
Heart to Heart, Perry Mason, original Buggs Bunny, Profiler reruns

Three's company lost a bit of magic, compared to what i thought at age 8.

That's my problem with the Simpsons now... it's TOO joke-y, and they've turned the characters into such farces of what they used to be. Homer used to have a heart, and was so much more than what he is now- a one-dimensional idiot. I haven't watched the Simpsons in years, I feel dumber when I do.

TV shows I still love and watch on TV, DVD, and video:

• Golden Girls- Just as funny today as it was then. Though the jokes about "The Bonfire of the Vanities" are a bit dated.
• Mork and Mindy: I am not a big Robin Willaims fan, but I have to give this show props. Love Pam Dawber.
• American Gothic: One of my all-time favorites, I can't believe it was cancelled after one season. One of the best shows ever created and I <3333 Jake Weber.
• Picket Fences: Another one fo the best. My favorite episode was when the mayor of Rome had a cow impregnated with her egg and gave birth to her baby.
• The Practice: Best law show ever.
• Melrose Place: HUGE Melrose fan. I know every episode by heart and have fond memories of the old Melrose viewing parties.
• Farscape: This show is addictive. Funny, thrilling, and SMART.
• Whoopi: I love Whoopi, folks.

I used to love The Nanny, but them damned Lifetime reruns made me sick of it. I can only take that voice for so long. And it bugs me to no end that the kid who played Brighton started going bald as he got older on the show.

Harry Shearer and another voice actor (I cannot remember the other person but I believe it is the woman who talks for Marge) said that the show has ran out of ideas over 4 years ago (About the same time I quit watching) and is just surviving because of "Fox's/Matt Groening's greed"!

Can't relate. But, as long as ****s funny, i don't care whether it has a heart or not. In fact, I like when sappiness is kept out of my shows. More jokes, keep em comin. Also, the simpsons is very clever with making jokes about society still, and i can't get enough. But then, i would never, ever watch gilmore girls, so, we probably have different tastes...

My mom and I used to watch this show! Gary Cole is cree pee...and Lucas Black is greatness. I think people treated this just like Twin Peaks, the mysteries didn't get solved so they became impatient. What else is new?

Golden Girls rule...I watch it sometimes and it still cracks me up.

Well, I grew up with a VERY healthy diet of TV. LOL I used to watch everything, Mr. Ed, Munsters, Flying Nun, Gidget, Knight Rider, A-Team, Different Strokes, Addams Family, Andy Griffith Show, Wonder Years, Cosby Show, Knots Landing, Falcon Crest, I Dream of Jeannie, Quantum Leap, Dark Shadows (the 90's version), The Outsiders, Head of the Class, Growing Pains, I mean, seriously, we could be here for days...months. LOL

ER has grown tiring, I use to never miss it.
Friends was great, but I grew tired of that too.
The Nanny, agree, I use to love it, but now, eh.

Ha. The voice actors are just as greedy. They get a pay raise every year. If they didn't like the direction the show was going in, they could have left when they're contracts were over instead of pushing for another contract that doubled their salary.

about the Simpson's is this:

South Park is yer Daddy and your South Park's bitch

I will always be a fan of Friends. I used to watch That '70s Show and Less Than Perfect faithfully everyweek, but lately it seems that the shows are stagnent. I love That '70s Show for seasons 1-5, but once Laurie (Lisa Robin Kelly) left again, it's become really boring and trite. I can tell Eric is wearing a wig and what's up with Donna being a blonde? She was better as a foxy redhead! ABC moved Less Than Perfect to a Friday night...which doesn't work for me (and I'm too lazy to remember to tape it anymore). I'm also still a bit miffed at Sara Rue for dissin' Stevie

Thank goodness I get Comedy Central included in my free basic TV! Yay for Dave Chappelle, Reno 911! and South Park!

if I was a digruntled voice actor on a show I feel that ran out of ideas I wouldnt ask for a contract renewal But I agree with ya about the voice actor's greediness...They should have to see how much Anime voice actors are paid, But "Anime is below them."
