Name a series you are embarrassed to admit that you liked!

That's what happens when you only have 10 channels to choose from

I almost said something similar earlier. Even after cable came along in the mid 80s, people still mostly watched the major networks until at least the mid 90s. I think that our house had something like 25 channels via cable during that time, but we still mostly watched ABC. Heck, that's all that I could watch on my bedroom TV for a long time because I didn't have cable in my room and ABC was our only local station. I probably watched a little of every show that ABC aired from the mid 80s to the mid 90s, whether it was worth watching or not.

I grew up in the 80's and we had one of those giant antennas at the side of the house. 15-20 channels was enough. Got the major networks at least. Cbc, ABC, NBC, fox... WB 49 was a great channel when it started in '87

That 80's Show

Really? Was that any good?

 

[John Price]

I used to watch The Apprentice, way back when.

it's a good show that teaches business and marketing values

The best is when Donald would go on an ending rant. "Your team wasn't any good, you're up here, you couldn't manage them properly, I'm sorry, you're fired."

I was a big fan of Everybody Loves Raymond in middle and early high school before it wrapped.

Fuller House.


and I don't even know why.

I get it for the sake of nostalgia.

It’s objectively terrible though

 

[cupcrazyman]

Only 1 Season with 13 Episodes

I liked it but maybe it was trying to live off the success of That 70's Show ? Maybe viewers expected more from this show at the time.

Did you also like That 70’s show?

No need to be embarrassed for liking that show. It’s funny.

That show was great for me as it really made me realize my own bias, and many others' bias towards things simply because they are old.

I like Full House, I hate Fuller House.

Why? Fuller House is literally Full House if it premiered today.

Because one is from the 90's and the other is current.

 

[Shareefruck]

I agree that Full House is terrible (personally, I hate the effect that nostalgia seems to have on so many people, because it creates doubt in old things that are actually great), but I mean, just the premise of Fuller House being a cheap callback to the old one alone would make it worse and more inorganic, all else being equal, no?

Someone would have a better reason to feel embarassed to admit if they DON'T like that.

 

[Sweetpotato]

Don't hate me till you watch it....the first 2 seasons of Glee. The great thing about that show was it was a spoof of teenage sitcoms and it was genuinely funny. Then it turned into Degrassi with music and became unwatchable.

 

[Shareefruck]

I actually got pressured from friends into watching the first season of Glee when I was younger and I remember it being dreadful. Maybe not aggressively so, and I get how casual watchers would be on board, but it was just completely soulless and artificial.

Really? Was that any good?

No, but it is neat to look back and realize that that's Dennis Reynolds.

 

[Langdon Alger]

No, but it is neat to look back and realize that that's Dennis Reynolds.

Who?

 

[Shareefruck]

Who?

He's one of the main characters in It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia.

Gotcha. Never seen it.

Earth 2 (What can I say? I really liked it when I was young)

You want to laugh.. I didn't really watch the original.

 

[Know Your Enemy]

I was embarrassed that I loved Project Runway, but i aint anymore. That show is fire

 

[Spring in Fialta]

Gotcha. Never seen it.

It's funny although I haven't kept up with recent seasons. You should check it out. Kaitlin Olson is probably the funniest female sitcom actress ever (yes, moreso than Julia Louis-Dreyfus).

 

[End on a Hinote]

GLOW is a great show. Admittedly I started watching it because Alison Brie wrestling, but turns out it was full of great characters and storylines. And Alison Brie wrestling in a leotard.

Why be embarrassed about that? The show was flat-out awesome.

I grew up watching more dramatic, gritty shows like The Sopranos that it felt out of place for me, especially how it felt more directed towards women.

 

[peate]

Earth 2 (What can I say? I really liked it when I was young)

Good show. sub-earth zombies.

 

[Name Nameless]

Charmed. The original one.
