So what we THOUGHT we would like but didn't based on what we usually like?

The only one I can think of off the top of my head is the newest Sherlock Holmes with John Malkovich (Netflix or Prime, I don't remember).

The others are going to be hard to remember, since we didn't really watch them .

Survivor- I grew up obsessed with The Challenge. Survivor is too mainstream, not edgy and the characters aren't interesting or real. I do like a number of reality shows but never really liked Survivor.

Parks & Rec for me as well. I was such a huge fan of The Office, and I really liked Amy Poehler on SNL, so I thought this would be a new favorite. Couldn't get into it after the first couple of episodes.
WIfe and I are thinking about giving it another shot now though.

I thought I would like Parks and Rec just based on the actors, but it fell flat for me, too. I don't think I got through one episode.

I missed FALCONCREST back in the day, just too busy to watch all those silly shows. Sorry to offend anyone. Add Fantasy Island to the list. And the Love Boat.

I like sitcoms (friends, Frazier, cheers, designing women, etc) but I don’t enjoy Seinfield. It never makes me laugh.

I loved walking dead until they become too focused on human evil instead of survival. I made it through Alexandria (odd and on) but completely quit when they introduced Negan.

I loved Roswell and Charmed and was excited for their reboots but hated both of them, way too different from the originals.

So a day later, I tried watching Survivor season 1 because it was on Amazon Prime. I got hooked, bought the CBS all access subscription, finished season 2 and now into season 3. I think I'm going to be pretty busy.

I never got into Breaking Bad. Ir seemed like a show I would like.

I got into "Walking Dead" late. I was in a hospital and AMC did a marathon of the first fie seasons before Season 6 started. So for days that's all I was watching minus tests, aps, visits to the room and, I think, a surgery. I got into Season 6 and was liking it. But I was over it when they killed Glenn and Red. Stopped watching and have not watched since.

The editing window is only a few hours. After that, no more editing.

I never liked MASH either. Didn't appeal to me. Never watched Friends, Seinfeld or Frazier. I watched some now in re runs. Funny. Lots of other ones I never watched either. I was too busy doing something else, reading, walking or just hanging out. I wasn't glued to the TV for sure back then.
