Which tv shows did you dislike as a kid, but now as an adult enjoy? (series, updates)

[picklejuice]

I remember hating these:

MASH
All In The Family
Barney Miller

[Miss Crabcakes]

I can't think of any shows but as a kid, I hated the news. Hated it! And now I can't get enough of it. I wake to the local news and check into CNN, MSN.com and the Baltimore Sun several times a day for updates. I'll go looking for more news stories online. After 9/11, I just started getting into it and now its a daily habit.

My father would be so proud!

Only ones I can think of:

Mary Tyler Moore
Taxi

Now Taxi is one of my top 5 favorite shows.



My opinion has still not changed on Cheers and M.A.S.H. though. Didn't like them then, don't like them now. I tried, too. Sat down and gave them both a fair chance because they were so popular. They've never clicked with me. (Can't stand Cheers, yet I love Frasier. Hmm)

... And contrarily, there are ones I loved as kid that I have a hard time sitting through now.

The Patty Duke Show
Green Acres
.....

I couldn't stand All in the Family, Golden Girls when I was younger, now I love them!

Hated news. Now I love watching any news too!

My Dad and Bampa would be proud of me also.

None I can think of, but there are some shows I didn't get into while they were initially on that I got into later in syndication, like

Frasier
Everybody loves raymond

I didn't like Barney Miller either as a kid - but have started watching it now and like it a lot.

i used to hate when my Mom made me watch all her old cops shows.

Mannix
Rockford Files
McMillan and Wife
Etc.

And now that I have a retro TV channel, I find that i watch these frequently and enjoy them all........but I will NEVER tell her that/

Rockford Files...as a teen and even in my 20's I hated it, now it's one of my favorites of the 70's era shows.

Columbo - as a kid I couldn't figure out WHAT my parents saw in this show....

....now in my mid-40s, I own the complete series on DVD and love it!
