How can you people not like Cheers?!

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.)

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

I don't care what channel shows MASH. Hell, put it on Lifetime!

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.

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.

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.

I get distracted easily. Probably why I don't watch much TV. I can never sit through a whole show.

Me too

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

I STILL laugh thinking about that episode...SUCH a great show!

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.

SapphireSister · #29 07-26-2005, 05:08 PM

FRIENDS! I CAN'T STAND IT. Thank God it's over.

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.
