Name a television show that EVERYONE hated that you liked!

[hellbound-liberal]

Though hate may be a bit too strong, three shows that I loved that weren't around long enough were: Quark, Sledgehammer and Get a Life! Did I miss any?

[LiberalHeart]

1. Studio 60

Just saw on TV that tonight is the final episode. I'll miss it.

[bigwillq]

2. It may or may not be final episode

according to this link

http://www.sfgate.com/cgi-bin/article.cgi?f=/c/a/2007/02/19/GOODMAN.TMP

It doesn't look good though for it coming back

[LiberalHeart]

14. It was breaking news on one of the entertainment TV shows tonight.

They said after tonight, that's it.

[bigwillq]

18. Oh

I don't watch entertainment shows

But I think the link I gave you was posted this morning...it said the 19th on top of the page

I don't really care...i never watched the show..

[LiberalHeart]

22. I'm the one person who watched and liked it.

That and Boston Legal are the only network shows I watch(ed). I wasn't looking forward to the baby storyline that was developing, though. Babies kill a series.

[Vidar]

56. A petition site to save the show:

[dropkickpa]

44. I love this show

figures it may be breathing it's last.

[philosophie_en_rose]

3. 30 Rock

It was just hitting its stride and expanding beyond its original premise. I like Studio 60, but it's not half as funny as 30 Rock.

I hated Jane Krakowski's character, though. The show should have started with more Isabella Rosellini and Alec Baldwin and way way way less Jane Krawkowski.

[AlCzervik]

6. please tell 30 rock did not get canceled. I love that show.

[philosophie_en_rose]

7. It's being put on "hiatus," but will allegedly finish the season later in the spring.

:(

[AlCzervik]

9. Waaaaaaa.

That show is so funny, why mess with the thursday night line up? Do you know what will be on instead and will Scrubs still be on?

[peekaloo]

17. Those Runts at NBC!

I love that show!

[philosophie_en_rose]

24. Stupid NBC-Universal-Kmart!

:P

[ironflange]

4. On the Air

David Lynch's badly demented sitcom, some call it the worst show ever. I like it! Six episodes made, only four aired, and I have them on tape.

[ghostsofgiants]

8. I have those episodes downloading now.

One of the few Lynch works that i have yet to see.

[ironflange]

13. "Oh. I loved him so!"

:rofl:

[Left Is Write]

5. The Nanny.

Not EVERYONE else hated it, though - I know HypnoToad is a Fran Fan!

[bigwillq]

10. I loved that show.

Fran cracks me up. :rofl:

[Iris]

11. thirtysomething

I esp. liked 2 of the least liked characters - Elliot and Ellyn

[GenDem]

15. I loved that show!

[Iris]

52. ha! ha! I KNEW someone else here would like that show, too!

:hi:

[itsmesgd]

12. Newsradio and ALF

[Redneck Socialist]

25. I loved ALF. n/t

[Jeff In Milwaukee]

40. It's on DVD

I threaten my wife with purchasing a full season when I want to get my way.

[deadparrot]

33. Aw, Newsradio.

I miss Newsradio. :(

[LostInAnomie]

16. Brisco County Jr.

It should have been the vehicle to Bruce Campbell's vehicle to super-stardom. It died before it's time though. :cry:

[dropkickpa]

45. Love love love Brisco County Jr.!!!

Why do the good shows get canned and crap like Frasier stays on forever and ever and ever (I know, critical darling, but it bored/s me to tears)?

[Giant Robot]

59. I started out more excited for Briscoe

Than the X-Files, which premiered the same time. Ah those were exciting Friday nights.....I am such a geek.

[GenDem]

19. 'Family'

It was a very sappy show airing in the late 70's. Characters were - Buddy, Willie, Nancy, Doug, and Kate.

[cmkramer]

23. I loved that show

It was actually a critical and commercial hit winning several Emmy Awards including one for Kristy McNichol as Best Supporting Actress in a Drama Series.

[bullwinkle428]

20. "Get A Life" would be my first choice!

For those unfamiliar, it starred Chris Elliott, as the thirtysomething-year-old paperboy still living with his parents. It was on Fox around '90-91, and lasted about a season and a half. There are two DVDs out, each one containing 4 episodes. Not sure why they couldn't put all episodes from each season on them...

[Strawman]

27. Yup

People either loved it or hated it. I loved it, most did not.

[peekaloo]

28. I loved it!

Handsome Boy Modeling School......:rofl:

[Art_from_Ark]

21. Here Comes the Grump

OK, so it was a cartoon, but no one in my class watched it, and to tell the truth, it sucked eggs, but for some reason unbeknownst even to me, I watched it every Saturday morning.

[Redneck Socialist]

26. The A-Team

great show. Dukes of Hazzard was another.

[Bombtrack]

29. Land of the Lost (1991-1992 series) starring Timothy Bottoms of "That's My Bush"

[last_texas_dem]

31. Wow, I actually remember that one

(The "wow" because I don't think I've thought about its existence in over a decade or so!) I was a little kid back when it was on and my younger cousins would always watch it on Saturday mornings when we spent the night with our grandparents.

[Kat45]

30. I loved Sledgehammer too.

But I didn't know anyone else who had even heard of it.

[Bucky]

32. Cops ("Bad boys, bad boys, whatcha gonna do, whatcha gonna do when they come for you"?)

Racist, fascist, testosterone-poisoned, sure. But I just couldn't get enough of it for years.

[Tikki]

34. It's Like,You Know....from 1999.

Jennifer Grey was one of the stars.

[BlueStorm]

36. Family Guy and American Dad...

My mom thinks its stupid.

I think it's hilarious as shit, especially when they get into the political stuff.

Blue

[MonkeyFunk]

37. Mama's Family

It's an awful show. But I have the hots for Bubba. He had the tightest jeans in the history of television.

[Mad_Dem_X]

42. I loved that show!

One of my all-time guilty pleasures.

[last_texas_dem]

72. I kinda like that one, too. haha

I can remember watching re-runs of it occasionally back in the fourth or fifth grade and my mom just being kind of disgusted at the fact that I was watching it! I was never sure if she was disappointed in me for watching it because she thought it was too raunchy or just because she thought it was too flat-out bad!

[njdemocrat106]

38. The Michael Richards Show

Given time, I think this show could have worked. Of course, Richards has pretty much written his own obituary since he revealed himself to be a racist douchebag.

[Manifestor_of_Light]

39. What, you didn't see his great thespian role as Stanley the Janitor?

In Weird Al's movie "UHF" he was Stanley Spadkowski, the janitor who becomes the host of a kiddie show.

[DainBramaged]

41. Smith

[JackBeck]

43. Strangers With Candy.

SOO many people just didn't get it.

[KamaAina]

70. Probably the same people who still think Colbert is a conservative

SWC, you may recall, was early, seminal Colbert.

[Rising Phoenix]

46. The OC....please don't banish me

:hide:

[Fire Walk With Me]

47. Quark, The Super, and most importantly, Cleopatra 2525

Cleopatra 2525 was truly the perfect television show, embodying all of the lowest common denominators possible in this misused medium. Utterly fascinating, like a car crash in slow motion.

The only thing lacking were guest appearances by Herve Villachaize. Poor guy.

[Papagoose]

49. Cleopatra 2525 was awesome!

A few years back, I was unemployed for about six months - Cleopatra was on in the early afternoon and quickly became an addiction!

[Fire Walk With Me]

50. I know. It's a way of life, it is!

[Midlodemocrat]

48. Second Noah.

[kaiden]

51. Cop Rock.

n/t

[kwassa]

53. Deadwood

It deserved many more seasons, if simply for the most poetic profane dialogue anywhere.

At least we get one more season of "The Wire".

[youthere]

55. I LOVED Deadwood!

[youthere]

54. Twin Peaks and Northern Exposure.

[Deja Q]

57. 704 Hauser

[Vidar]

58. Herman's Head, VR 5

[hellbound-liberal]

61. Herman's Head was great! How about Max Headroom!

I think Max was ahead of his time. Here's a link:

[Vidar]

71. That too. My ex wife & I flew his kite into a power line.

[lumberingbear]

60. Huff, Deadwood and Carnivale

:cry: :cry: :cry:

[Blue-Jay]

62. Hello Larry

[Frank Cannon]

75. Hello, Larry was actually not that bad

Despite all the jokes that Johnny Carson, MAD Magazine, et al, leveled at it.

For one thing, it had the incredibly fine Kim Richards in it (AKA Paris Hilton's aunt).

[Arugula Latte]

63. The Nanny

:hide:

[enigmatic]

64. Sugar Time

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0075587/fullcredits#cast

I was a 13 year old boy going through puberty and it had Barbi Benton starring; what's not to love?

[Courtesy Flush]

65. Green Acres: Great surrealistic yet bucolic humor

[Cannikin]

66. The Flash

The Flash was a live action CBS television series from 1990-1991 that starred John Wesley Shipp as the superhero, The Flash, and co-starred Amanda Pays. The series was created by the writing team of Danny Bilson and Paul De Meo and composer Danny Elfman wrote the series’ title theme.<1><2><3>

[Gatchaman]

67. Enterprise

It started out redoing next-gen and voyager plots, but it finally got into it's own groove in season 4, right when they cancelled it. Fuckers.

At it's worst, it was cookie cutter star trek, and at its best, it was very good sci-fi. The final episode, however, was one of the worst star trek episodes since spock's brain.

[Cannikin]

68. Ugh. I've been a trekkie since I was old enough for my parents to use tv as a baby sitter

But Enterprise...I totally lost interest. Liked the ship though!

[dixiechik]

69. Name a television show that EVERYONE hated that you liked!

Beauty and the Beast from the 80's
Joan of Arcadia
Bette Midler's Show
Ellen's Second Sitcom

[terrya]

73. "The Facts of Life"

There, I said it. I really liked "The Facts of Life"

[ms liberty]

74. Studio 60 is the latest, apparently! But I've got one I'm betting no one remembers!

It was called "The Charmings" and it was a 1/2 hr sitcom. It was on in the late 80's. The premise was that Snow White and Prince Charming got married and had a couple of kids, then the Wicked Stepmother cast a spell that put all of them (including her) in a deep sleep for centuries. They wake up, and they're in late 20th century America, LA, IIRC. The series follows them as they try to adjust to a totally different world. Paul Winfield was the Mirror (mirror, mirror on the wall) and he was sarcastically witty with the Wicked Stepmother, who was played by the incomparable Judy Parfitt. I loved it and thought it was hilarious.

[Zavulon]

76. Married with Children.

I know, I know, but the seasons 3-6 cracked me up. I love lowbrow humor.
