12/7/07 Shows we never got into

[BuddyDebbie]

Which TV show have you always wanted to get into but haven't? Why?

[buddytvgina]

I'm so mad that I never got into "How I Met Your Mother". I never remember when it's on & I've had other shows I was already into. Felt like I couldn't take another one on! But I LOOOVE Neil Patrick Harris. Is it out on DVD? I seriously need to watch it.

I seriously wanted to get into Dexter, but I didn't. Part of the problem is that it's on Showtime and since I suffer from CRS, it doesn't readily show up when I click on the guide on my cable box. Showtime is in the 300's and in my surfing I never seem to get past the 170's.

Also there are a couple of shows that I watched a couple of episodes of, wanted to get into, but they failed to catch my interest but I won't put those cuz I may get terrorized in these forums.

I'm not sure if it's safe to say this here . But I never got into Heroes. Maybe my expectations were to high, because I have read many comments like "best TV show ever". To my dissapointment I think Heroes to be average. I can't say anything about the second season, I didn't watch it yet, but I've read in these very forums that season 2 is worse.

Hmm... good question.

Well I started watching The Dresden Files, and everyone was like it's so awesome. But I got bored after 30 minutes.

I started Firefly and couldn't watch through the Pilot. I think it was just too long. I don't know. I got bored.

I saw the Pilot of SupNat, and it just simply wasn't my kinda thing. But I may start again. :P

But usually what I want to watch, I do. lol

Seeing as how I already watch nearly every show imaginable, there aren't that many. In fact, thanks to DVDs and downloads, I've been able to get into a lot of shows retroactively. For instance, I just discovered Bones this season, and now I wish I'd been watching from the start.

Overall, there are really only two major shows I don't watch that have such a huge fan base that I wish I watched just to see what they see.

First is Jericho. I watched the pilot, then stayed with it for a couple more episodes, but eventually tired of it. Maybe it's one of those shows that I can get on DVD, watch it all in one or two sittings, and understand why people love it.

The second is Supernatural. I've seena a handful of episodes and they're good, but nothing to get too excited about. However, I do enjoy mythologies, and I wish I could get into it.

Bear in mind, I do watch nearly every other major good show on TV, and when putting together a year-end list, I come up with around 50-60 scripted series per year. It's hard to fit anything else in.

I've always wanted to watch Ugly Betty and Grey's Anatomy but I have only seen a couple episodes of each. I bought my sister season 1 of Grey's Anatomy for Christmas so I will have to watch that after she opens it.

oh theres a lot, I just havent had a chace to see/catch up on

I move a lot so can be hard with schedules and stuff to keep up if I watch too many shows

[csiphile]

I have never had an opportunity to see the show but my sister-in-law says it is great. From what I hear about it I would really enjoy it. Sadly I don't have satellite or cable. I travel too much to pay for the expense and I'm never in the hotel when it's on or I forget to look for it.

Josh, seriously, you need to watch Firefly.

I'm going to have to go with Buffy and Angel on this. I really liked Buffy when I was in high school, but after about the third season I just stopped watching. I've tried to watch since then, but I just haven't been able to get into it. I've watched episodes of Angel when its on TV and stuff and I have the first two seasons of Buffy on DVD, but its going to take a lot of catching up to do to be able to watch them.
