Re-Discovered Through Re-Runs
 

What are some shows that you never watched while they were on, but started watching once you caught them in syndication?

Oh, let's see: Frazier, Becker, Homicide: life on the streets; there must be more but those are the ones I can think of right off.

The Golden Girls.

Law & Order - I never watched the old ones the first time around but now they are my favorites.

My So Called Life - MTV Marathons
News Radio - I loved that show; it's a shame what happend to Phil

Seinfeld

I didn't start watching the original Law and Order until a couple of years ago, so I'm just starting to catch up on the early episodes.

Cheers.... my bedtime was at 8:30 and thats when it came on. Plus my mom didn't think a show set in a bar was very appropriate for a child of my age. But she would let me stay up until after the theme song played.

Cheers, Everybody Loves Raymond (I know, I know...), anything old-school Nick at Nite, Wings, ER, 90210

Nick at Nite and GET SMART is my all time fav show. There have been a few shows, Nanny, Voyager (started watching the last season), Like Happy Days, Patty Duke. There has been a few over the years. These are just a few.

There are a few shows I like that originally aired before I was even born:

Star Trek: TOS
The Avengers
Get Smart

Usually, when I start watching a new show, it's current, so I watch the first-run eps as they air, and use eps in syndication (if available) to catch up with the story to date. It's fun trying to catch up when you're watching 3 different seasons of a show at once. :p

I LOVE Get Smart!! I wish I could find it on DVD. I loved Nick at Nite in the '90s with Mary Tyler Moore, Patty Duke, Dick Van Dyke, etc.

Okay, I know everybody is going to laugh at me for this, but...Friends. I never saw a single episode of that show until 2002. I watched a re-run of it by accident one day, and then started watching it at its regular airtime on Thursday nights. Just in time for the last two seasons. :)

King of Queens is on Fox when I get home from work, so I've gotten sucked into that one as well.

I also love Get Smart!

I didn't really watch Early Edition when it was on. Now that it's on satellite tv everday, I'm addicted to it. I always wondered, why don't Gary use the stock tip and make money while saving people?

I love Get Smart!

Also:
Star trek: TOS
MacGyver
The Original Batman Series

ED dot dot dot, not Mr. Ed.

Stuckeyville ho. ahwasssssup

and Dawesons Creek. I watch TBS during the day after i study for the lsat in the morning

I got hooked watching the older episodes of:

That 70's Show (is this still on??)

and

Malcolm in the Middle

LOL! Kyle Chandler (Gary) graduated from my little podunk high school - George Walton Academy in Monroe, Georgia. I remember when that show first came out and we nearly had a school holiday!! Kyle Chandler is mighty hot!

I finally started watching Buffy reruns on FX this spring and now I'm hooked. It really was an excellent show and I'm darned thankful that it's syndicated.

I got hooked on after school reruns of the original Mickey Mouse Club, Adventures of Rocky and Bullwinkle, and The Patty Duke Show back in the day. (Translation--I'm old!)

[mini hijack]

MY ABSOLUTE ALL-TIME FAVORITE SHOW!!!!!! OWN ALL SEVEN SEASONS!! (although I was in denial that the show was actually over until season seven was released on DVD)

Plus, isn't James just a hottie :D

[end mini hijack]

Yup, it's getting ready to go into its last season.

Magnum P.I.

also I have never seen this Miami Vice I've heard so much about, so if there are ever re-runs of re-runs let me know so I can catch up on why it was so great.

<continue mini-hijack>YES! David who?</end mini-hijack>

Seriously, now I get all of the "Buffy is the best show you're not watching" hype now. It really was outstanding. I'd love to see "the secret unaired pilot with different Willow" one day.

Okay, so i am sooo in lust with James, i relaly liked spike with a soul and thought he was great on the last season of Angel.

Except now i have seen him with shaved head, not good. I know that he did not like the bleached hair look, but i think that he looks better with hair than shaved. Oh and the times when he was topless, OHHHHHHH!!!!! Yeah.

a different world, cosby show

Home Improvement
Whose Line Is It Anyway
Felicity

Family Guy
Gilmore Girls (I'm ADDICTED)
Starting Over

Hunter

King of the Hill

For all you TV junkies out there:

www.tvshowsondvd.com - the authoritative listing of TV series already on or planned for DVD release! :D

FAMILY TIES!! I love that mess!!! Alex P. Keaton... :D

First season of Miami Vice is on DVD, as are the first and second seasons of Magnum, P.I.. Took forever and a day to get "The Vice" on DVD because of music licensing issues - and being it's a music-intensive TV show, using substitutes for the original music (as is the case for some TV shows coming out on DVD) just isn't going to cut it.

News Radio- RIP Phil Hartman :(

What station plays Ed? That's my favorite TV show ev-ah, and as of Monday I'll have satellite.

Trapper John MD
King of the Hill

Dr. Quinn, Medicine Woman.

-Rudey
--I watch it with my old lady every night and then we cry.

I went to Jr. High with one of the chicks on there

I made love to Dr. Quinn in Jr. High!

-Rudey

The older version of Law and Order and anything on Nick at Night like Roseanne....
