Are there any shows you disliked at first but then grew to like? - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

Just wondering - I can't think of any for myself, at the moment. I like to think that I'm fair with shows in that I don't write them off after seeing one or two episodes that I don't like so much.

In my case, there aren't really any TV shows that I actually dislike, just some that aren't my sort of show, but I don't see enough of them to say I really dislike them. In cases of entertainment, I always think that even if I personally am not interested in something, it's entertaining a lot of people, so it's doing a good thing.

But for anyone else, are there any shows that you initially didn't like but came to grow on you?

Also, as a follow-up question, what was it that changed your mind about the shows and got you to enjoy them? Just a case of growing into them or something else?

CSI. Didn't like, then liked it, now I'm back to being indifferent about it.

Frasier and Scrubs-Judged them without watching only cause I watched other stuff when they were on at the time. Watched both shows in syndication and grew to like them.

Cheers and Taxi - never watched them in their original runs, only in syndication.

One Day At A Time and Alice. Bonnie Franklin and Linda Lavin took some getting used to but once I did they became one of my favorite sitcom actress. Too bad Bonnie Franklin did not go further into her TV career after One Day At A Time ended. She grew into a good sitcom actress given she never had a series of her own.

Everwood, George Lopez. Everybody Loves Raymond, the King of Queens, Roseanne, etc.
